  1. Neu von Music Box: Retrospective Jean Musy

    Zitat

    Remastered edition including 20 previously unreleased tracks. 
    12-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Nicolas Magenham. 
    Limited Edition of 500 units. 


    Music Box Records is pleased to present, for the first time on CD, a retrospective dedicated to French composer Jean Musy and his best works composed for the screen (Cinema and television) spanning three decades. 

    Jean Musy started working in the 1960s and is known primarily as arranger and accompanist for many famous French singers (Joe Dassin, Barbara, Nicole Croisille, Yves Duteil, Françoise Hardy, Mireille Mathieu, Charles Aznavour, to name a few). He is also credited on over a thousand 45 rpm records and two hundred albums. Most notable is his involvement with French composer Francis Lai, for whom he arranged numerous soundtracks in the late 1970's (Bilitis, International Velvet, Passion Flower Hotel). 

    This retrospective brings to light less well-considered or well-known films. This present album also highlights his close collaboration with some French directors (one-time collaboration such as Clair de femme, directed by Costa-Gavras and long-time collaborator director Jean-Claude Brisseau such as L'Ange noir ) and some very popular films (the cult film Papy fait de la résistance aka Gramps Is in the Resistance) and TV series (Pause-café). Jean Musy undoubtedly knows how to adapt to very different artistic universes while still retaining his own unique touch. 

    The CD comes with a 12-page booklet with liner notes by Nicolas Magenham, based on a new interview with Jean Musy

  2. Von Quartet Records kommt eine leicht verlängerte Wiederveröffentlichung von John Barrys Score zu dem Neo-Noir Masquerade:

    Zitat

     

    Quartet Records and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer present a remastered, remixed, slightly expanded edition of this masterful John Barry noir score for the thriller Masquerade. The 1988 film was directed by Bob Swaim and starred Rob Lowe, Meg Tilly, Kim Cattrall and Doug Davant.

    The story is about a recently orphaned and wealthy heiress, Olivia, who really hates her scheming stepfather. Olivia finds love with a young yacht racing captain, Tim, who isn't completely truthful with her. When the two run into a problem, the local cop, who happens to be an old friend of Olivia's, seems to be turning a blind eye to incriminating evidence.

    John Barry returned to the genre of the passionate thriller that he had already explored in Body Heat, offering an intense, bittersweet tour de force in his signature melodic style, with a memorable love theme and long suspense passages.

    Previously released by Prometheus Records in a limited edition in 2002 and long out of print, this new release includes around three minutes of previously unreleased material. Produced by Neil S. Bulk, remixed and mastered by Mike Matessino from the ½″ 3-track original masters courtesy of MGM, the CD includes a 12-page full-color booklet with informative liner notes by John Takis.

  3. Wenn man allerdings manisch, hysterisches Kino mag (like moi), ist dessen Filmschaffen natürlich eine Goldgrube (mir fehlt aber auch so manches aus seiner Filmografie. Habe gerade erst vor einigen Wochen seiner Opernverfilmung "Boris Godunov" geschaut. Den Puristen wird es schütteln, ich fands dufte. ^^
