CONRAD POPE
Pavilion Of Women Varese 66245 $15.99

ALAN SILVESTRI
The Mummy Returns Decca 013983 $16.99
(73:34) Wow! Silvestri provides biggest score of the year to date. New sequel to popular Brendan Fraser movie has immense work for large orchestra and chorus. As music progresses, themes develope, increase in power. "My First Bus Ride" a magnificent action highlight. Truly spectacular, sometimes Rozsa-esque music, impressively recorded by Sinfonia of London with chorus. Bullseye!

MAX STEINER
The Glass Menagerie BYU FMA-MS 107 $26.99
(77:48) Kirk Douglas drama from 1950 has dark-ish music by Max Steiner. More themes than usual. Numerous source cues supervised by Ray Heindorf add period authenticity and length, but intrude on sometimes reflective, sometimes melodic Steiner score.
