veröffentlichung Intrada: FROM NEW YORK TO HOLLYWOOD (Dimitri Tiomkin)

[Alexander Grodzinski]

Intrada announces a new compilation of music by Dimitri Tiomkin, featuring his dance music and early film work. A citizen of the world, Tiomkin was born in Ukraine, educated in Russia, triumphed in Berlin and Paris before coming to New York. "The transition from the concert halls of the Big Apple to the studios of Hollywood was an incremental one, but in retrospect it seems inevitable. Where else could such a generous, bighearted, all-encompassing spirit find a home for his music than on the world stage of cinema?" say liner note writers Warren Sherk and Frank K. DeWald.

This is the third volume in a series of recordings produced by Patrick K. Russ. Prior releases include The Great American Ballet and Paris Under the Stars. It is Russ' singular vision that pulls together seemingly disparate works separated by 1000s of miles into a brilliant compilation showcasing the breadth and diverse passion of Tiomkin. Both the Fashion and Swan Ballets appear here along with selections from numerous other films and works including Mexique, Lost Horizon and The Great Waltz, It's a Wonderful Life; and the program concludes with a jazz-noir excerpt from D.O.A. All performed brilliantly by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra.

Ich dachte gerade, hat man das vom Geld zu THE CHAIRMAN mit aufgenommen? Aber der Produzent ist ein anderer. Trotzdem irgendwie komisch: Der eine hat die Kohle für sowas. Der andere braucht ein Kickstarter für sowas.
