Listener Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Hollywood Screen Classics (Audio CD) All but one of these tracks were recorded prior to the release of THE SEA HAWK in 1972 (the first album in what would become Gerhardt's monumental RCA film music series): 1. R. Strauss: 2001: A Space Odyssey (2:05) 1971 2. Korngold: Adventures of Robin Hood (4:00) 1971 3. Rosenman: East of Eden (3:02) 1968 4. Styne-Cahn: Three Coins in the Fountain (5:02) 1968 5. Raksin: Laura (2:44) 1968 6. Korngold: Kings Row (suite) (7:22) 1968 7. Young: Shane (2:22) 1968 8. North: Cleopatra (2:20) 1968 9. Barry: Born Free (3:02) 1971 10. Mancini: Charade (3:03) 1968 11. Hayasaka: Rashomon (3:05) 1971 12. Rozsa: El Cid (2:41) 1968 13. Hadjidakis: Topkapi (2:41) 1974 14. Steiner: Gone with the Wind (suite) (23:26) 1968 This 1968 GONE WITH THE WIND Suite includes ten segments: Tara's Theme - Plantation Dance 1 - Melanie's Theme - Bonnie Blue Flag - Civil War - Scarlet O'Hara - Bonnie's Theme - Plantation Dance 2 - Ashley and Melanie - Return to Tara. It combines parts of both of Muir Mathesson's suites and is different yet from what Gerhardt would later release on his 1974 RCA album. also: * Amazon identifies the first Korngold and the Victor Young tracks by their cue titles rather than the films. * The CD insert incorrectly states the meter of the BORN FREE theme. It is NOT simultaneous 6/8 and 3/4; it's not even close to being that. It IS alternating 4/8 and 3/8, possibly combined as 7/8. While I don't normally care so much for that melody, the unusual meter really brings it to life. and finally: * While some of these tracks (esp. Rosenman and Rozsa) sound more "pop" than I'd have expected from Gerhardt, "Three Coins in the Fountain" is beautiful, the Barry, Mancini and Hayakawa are very very cool and the ample Korngold KINGS ROW Suite in itself is worth the price of the disc.
