Bernard Herrmann's Cape Fear
23-Feb-2025 - Quartet Records, Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, Universal Music Special Markets and Geffen Records present an expanded and remastered 2-CD edition of Elmer Bernstein’s adaptation of Bernard Herrmann’s music for Cape Fear, the 1991 remake directed by Martin Scorsese from the 1962 Universal classic film noir for which Herrmann composed the original score. Both Scorsese and producer Steven Spielberg wanted to use Herrmann’s iconic score from the original film in their new version, knowing that Herrmann’s music could still move audiences in 1991 as it had three decades earlier. Elmer Bernstein, a close friend and scholar of Herrmann, was the best choice to adapt the score to the needs and editing of the new film. Some original music by Bernstein in Herrmann’s style, were incorporated here and there to give the new score more consistency. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.

John Williams' The Patriot
21-Jan-2025 - Intrada announces a 25th-anniversary edition of John Williams' Oscar-nominated score to the 2000 Columbia Pictures/Centropolis film The Patriot. Throughout Williams' long and treasured career he had developed a fresh, Americana voice, first coming to the fore in his 1969 score to The Reivers, then furthered a few years later with The Cowboys and quite powerfully in an unexpected place—-the Smallville sequences of Superman. It was a style that he would return to periodically and The Patriot provided a showcase for this style. The score involves three principal themes that correspond to protagonist Martin’s past, present, and future—the war trauma theme, the love theme and the patriot theme. As the themes weave throughout the score, Williams' beloved epic style is on full display, as well as exciting action music. It's all here in this lengthy and powerful work. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.

Ennio Morricone's Tre Colonne In Cronaca
14-Jan-2025 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and Finross, presents a remastered reissue of the expanded edition of Tre Colonne In Cronaca, one of the great Ennio Morricone efforts of the early ’90s for the film of Carlo Vanzina. The album of Tre Colonne In Cronaca was released in 1990 on LP and CD in a short program of less than 30 minutes. In 2002, GDM CD Club released an expanded limited edition, supervised by the composer, and produced by Dániel Winkler and Claudio Fuiano, containing all the music recorded for the film and it quickly sold out. This is a reissue of the same program, revised and mastered by Chris Malone. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.

1-Jan-2025 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Enterprises, presents a 3-CD box set, John Barry: The Polydor Years, consisting of the three legendary albums that John Barry recorded for Polydor Records between 1972 and 1976, as well as some singles and curiosities. These beautifully designed albums contain some of the composer’s best-known themes, newly arranged and performed, and—in the case of AMERICANS—an original musical work for jazz soloists and orchestra. Ahead of his first public appearance conducting a symphony concert in October 1972, John Barry prepared a series of suites from some of his most successful triumphs, in a lavish and new symphonic orchestration, specially arranged to be performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under his baton.

John Barry's Out Of Africa
2-Dec-2024 - Intrada announces an expanded edition of what is regarded as one of John Barry's finest: the Oscar-winning music to the 1985 Universal Pictures film Out Of Africa. The lengthy film is sparsely scored, especially considering the expansive nature of the film and beautiful scenery. The 37-minute score is just all the more powerful when it does appear, including the spectacular "Flight Over Africa" sequence. Included in this release are themes and ideas not present on the original MCA album, premiering some true Barry gems. After the regular scoring sessions were completed, Barry had one last pickup session to record two additional alternate cues. Barry also supervised the traditional African piece and the other source cues. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.

Bernardo Bonezzi's ¿Qué He Hecho Yo Para Merecer Esto?
21-Nov-2024 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with El Deseo, celebrates the 40th anniversary of Pedro Almodóvar’s iconic classic film ¿Qué He Hecho Yo Para Merecer Esto? (aka What Have I Done To Deserve This?), one of his most celebrated and beloved films, with the premiere edition of the original soundtrack composed by Bernardo Bonezzi for the film. Bonezzi’s score is surprisingly mature and sensitive, with a neorealist-inspired waltz as the main theme, dramatic music for string orchestra, echoes of jazz and blues, and the piece “La soledad de Gloria,” which has remained one of the most representative themes of all Almodóvar’s filmography. The score is available on CD and LP. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.

Jerry Goldsmiths' Islands In The Stream
18-Nov-2024 - Intrada Records presents a newly mastered and edited edition of the original soundtrack to the 1977 Paramount Pictures film Islands In The Stream. The score was of such personal importance to Jerry Goldsmith that he approached Intrada in 1986, just a year after it had been formed and a few months after the release of his latest score, Poltergeist II, to seek the label's interest in creating a new recording of the score in Hungary. Intrada jumped at the chance.The score is beautiful, deeply emotional and introspective, and at times simply thrilling. The brilliant recording has been in the catalog continuously since it was released in the late '80s. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.

Basil Poledouris' Robocop 3
15-Nov-2024 - Varèse Sarabande presents Basil Poledouris’ RoboCop 3: The Deluxe Edition, available on vinyl for the first time as a 2-LP gatefold vinyl set. Director Paul Verhoeven’s original RoboCop film featured one of Basil Poledouris’ most iconic scores. In 1993, he was recruited to bring his signature sound back for RoboCop 3, which finds Detroit's cyborg crime-fighter hitting the streets to protect the innocent, this time from corporate greed. Laced with a sardonic sense of humor and packed with action scenes coming at a deliberate clip, RoboCop 3 is a campy sci-fi adventure, highlighted by Poledouris’ one-of-a-kind sonic touch. For more info and ordering, visit Varèse Sarabande.

Alberto Iglesias' The Room Next Door
18-Oct-2024 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with El Deseo, present the soundtrack album The Room Next Door from the highly anticipated new collaboration between Academy Award-winning director Pedro Almodóvar and renowned four-time Academy Award-nominated composer Alberto Iglesias, their fourteenth film together, following thirty years of intense collaboration and worldwide success with such films as All About My Mother, Talk To Her and Pain And Glory. Loyal collaborator Alberto Iglesias has written one of his most intense, emotional and moving large-scale orchestral scores.

For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.

Carter Burwell's Fear
16-Oct-2024 - Intrada announces the premiere release of a long-sought after Carter Burwell score: the 1996 Universal Pictures thriller Fear. The film is a psychological thriller centered on the intense and tumultuous relationship between a teenage girl, Nicole, and a charismatic but dangerous young man, David.The film opens with a sweeping flyover of Seattle and here Burwell introduces his main theme underscored by pounding taiko drums. The score is moody and unsettling, slowly insinuating itself into the drama behind the scenes much as David integrates himself (or tries to) into the family. Burwell credits a lot of the power of his Fear score to the orchestration and conducting of Shirley Walker. “It’s got a particular sound I think she takes a lot of responsibility for, like the way that the brass plays at the bottom end and the lushness of the strings,” he points out. For more info and ordering, visit Intrada Records.

Billy Strange's The Sade
7-Oct-2024 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, presents the premiere complete CD release of Billy Strange terrific score for De Sade, an ambitious 1969 American International Pictures production directed by Cy Endfield.

The film stars Keir Dullea as the Marquis, Senta Berger, Lilli Palmer and John Huston. With the full support of AIP’s experienced music department (and tips from industry veteran Les Baxter), Strange created an exciting blend of symphonic pseudo-classical music juxtaposed with contemporary pop-psychedelia for the numerous extended orgy sequences. The music was recorded by the Berlin Symphony Orchestra conducted by Strange himself. On this 80-minute CD, with the music from the 8″ multitrack preserved in mint condition in the MGM vaults, the ambitious and lavish score can be heard in all its glory. For more info and ordering, visit Quartet Records.

Mark Isham's The Browning Version
25-Sep-2024 - Quartet Records, in collaboration with Paramount Pictures, presents a remastered, expanded edition of Mark Isham’s distinguished, moving score for The Browning Version. The story is about an embittered, disliked teacher of Greek and Latin at a British school. After nearly 20 years of service, he is being forced to retire on the pretext of his health and might not even receive a pension. Although director and composer Mike Figgis had previously written a score for the film, producer Ridley Scott felt that an outside voice was needed to enhance the story. Mark Isham, with a jazz sensibility close to Figgis’, was asked to write a spare, heartfelt and highly dramatic symphonic score. Celebrating the film’s 30th anniversary, this edition includes all the music recorded by Mark Isham for the film, including revised and alternate cues.
