HOWARD BLAKE The Duellists / Riddle Of The Sands AOD HB002 (Promo) 19.99 (73:52) Duellists is visually triumphant 1977 Ridley Scott movie with dark, somber music (37:11). Napoleon-era backdrops get authentic flavor, duels get intense, dissonant strings, romantic moods get haunting lyricism. Riddle Of The Sands, a 1979 spy thriller set in foggy island landscapes of northern Germany, gets rich, evocative score (36:41) with strong main theme. Moody, exciting music played by National Philharmonic Orchestra with chorus. DON DAVIS Turbulence 2: Fear Of Flying PTE 8526 15.99 (72:54) Good thing, bad thing. It's exciting music, but realized all on synthesizers. Limited colors grow heavy at 73 minutes. If only they had hired an orchestra... ANTOINE DUHAMEL Le Cinema D'Antoine Duhamel Universal 159649 (France) 29.99 -Pierrot Le Fou (1 track)/Domicile Conjugal (3 tracks)/ Ridicule (3 tracks)/Weekend (1 track)/Belphegor (3 tracks)/etc- PASCAL ESTEVE La Veuve De Saint-Pierre Universal 542572 (France) 29.99 (46:27) New movie by Patrice Leconte has score for large orchestra. Dramatic, sometimes sweeping, sometimes somber score. Mood over melody. JERRY GOLDSMITH Police Story / Medical Story PCR 507 (Belgium) 19.99 (53:49) -Limited Edition- 1973 TV movie featured superb, propulsive score by Goldsmith (23 minutes). Subsequent episode library cues with adaptations by Richard Shores also included. Also has suite from Medical Story (7:11) scored by Arthur Morton with a Goldsmith main theme. ERICH KORNGOLD Complete Works For Violin & Piano CPO 999709 11.99 -Violin Sonata in G/Caprice Fantastique/Serenade/etc- Capsule review coming soon. MICHEL LEGRAND Partir Revenir Editions23 80045 (France) 29.99 (76:18) Rachmaninoff's Concerto No. 2 for piano and orchestra takes up first half. Second half is Legrand's score. Highlight is Legrand's own concerto (20:06), featuring one of his finest melodies. The work is exciting, haunting, powerful. A Legrand classic. ENNIO MORRICONE Gli Occhi Freddi Della Paura Dagored 119 (Italy) 16.99 Capsule review coming soon. My Name Is Nobody CDST 330 (expanded) 20.99 (74:31) Terrific 1973 score, expanded for the first time. Serio-comic western with Terence Hill & Henry Fonda gets several Morricone moods - from colorful & whimsical through trademark Italian western style, from rich & beautiful through pure "final showdown" cliche'. Strong score, lengthy recording. Slalom Dagored 118 (Italy) 16.99 (41:31) Rare upbeat, uptempo Morricone score represented fully for the first time. Pretty cheesy stuff. JEAN-CLAUDE PETIT Les Miserables Madoro K 1042 (France) 29.99 (43:38) New version of classic tale starring John Malkovich & Gerard Depardieu. Dramatic, exciting symphonic music. One of Petit's strongest scores to date. RYUICHI SAKAMOTO Gohatto (aka Tabou) Milan 76688 (France) 29.99 (64:58) Samurai/thriller scored for strings, flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, piano, sho and percussion. Herrmann-influenced in style, phrasing. Numerous unusual atonal, percussive sections. Dark and eerie. PHILIPPE SARDE Princesses / Un Frere Universal 159648 (France) 29.99 (41:58) Music from three movies emphasizing jazz combined with string orchestra. Crisp, dynamic recording swings from upbeat to moody. Prinesses (17:10) / Un Frere (15:09) / L'Homme Aux Yeux D'Argent (9:39). ROLF WILHELM Und Ewig Singen Die Walder Cobra 005 (Germany) 17.99 Capsule review coming soon.
