World premiere release of two Hugo Friedhofer scores to Paramount films directed by Mitchell Leisen. First is 1949 costume adventure about 15th-Century Borgia family, starring Paulette Goddard. Friedhofer took opportunity to write serious Renaissance-style score using several established "closed forms" including the passacaglia plus offering regal fanfares, courtly music, battle sequences, more. Score is rousing, profuse with period color. Second score is 1950 WWII espionage thriller with Alan Ladd. Here Friedhofer provides several action cues plus gorgeous love theme used judiciously in score. Famous Oscar-winning Jay Livingston/Ray Evans song "Mona Lisa" was featured in film as instrumental accordion piece warning O.S.S. officers of Nazi activities and this instrumental cue also appears on CD. Score here is dark-edged, dramatic with riffs of violence. Both scores appear in crisp mono sound from original Paramount elements. Hugo Friedhofer composes, Irwin Talbot conducts. Intrada Special Collection release available while quantities and interest remains!

Kenne ich nicht.

Hilde taugt der was?

[peter-anselm]

Friedhofer taugt immer. Finde die Spoundclips insbesondere zu Bride of vengeance (noch nie gehört) recht gut. Hab die Darstellerin Paulette Goddard mal auf einem Empfang von Freunden in der Schweiz getroffen (Mitte der 80er Jahre). Tolle Frau und noch sehr attraktiv Mitte 70. Wird sicherlich gekauft aber erst im nächsten Jahr

Auch keine Ahnung. Wird ein Blindkauf. Aber erst nächstes Jahr.

Ich hab mal alle drei CD´s geordert - Goldsmith und Friedhofer sind ein Muss für mich!
