When a new sergeant, James, takes over a highly trained bomb disposal team amidst violent conflict, he surprises his two subordinates, Sanborn and Eldridge, by recklessly plunging them into a deadly game of urban combat. James behaves as if he's indifferent to death. As the men struggle to control their wild new leader, the city explodes into chaos, and James' true character reveals itself in a way that will change each man forever. What sticks out about the score is that the music is intended to be powerful but subtle most of the time, and not a score that drowns out any of the film's critical scenes. The score is nominated for an Oscar and&nbsp;was a cooperative composition job between Buck Sanders and Marco Beltrami. The duo worked together on a variety of films in the past, and their chemistry shows in their musical work for this movie.

Black Sunday, released by Film Score Monthly. Black Sunday is a minor masterpiece of grim 1970s international espionage (decades later, Steven Spielberg and John Williams would revisit the genre in Munich). Much of the film&rsquo;s success is owed to director Frankenheimer, renowned for his handling of large-scale physical action in films such as The Train, Grand Prix and French Connection II. The film&rsquo;s climax at the Super Bowl&mdash;much of it shot at the actual Super Bowl X&mdash;features some of the most spectacular footage ever captured for a Hollywood movie. John Williams was a natural choice to score Black Sunday. Not only was he a veteran of the 1970s disaster cycle (The Poseidon Adventure, The Towering Inferno) but his landmark score to Jaws marked him as Hollywood&rsquo;s top composer at a time when Paramount Pictures was positioning Black Sunday to be the blockbuster of 1977 (a claim to fame shortly taken by Star Wars). This premiere release is in complete chronological order, remixed by Mike Matessino from the original 16-track 2&rdquo; masters recorded on the Paramount Pictures scoring stage.&nbsp; The CD is available&nbsp;through Amazon.com.&nbsp;More info at Film Score Monthly.&nbsp; ]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=1869 http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=1867 <![CDATA[ ]]> Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:00:00 GMT http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=1867 http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/viewarticle.php?articleid=1868 <![CDATA[ Var&egrave;se Sarabande has released the score for The Last Station.&nbsp;It's the story of the final year of Russian socialist writer Leo Tolstoy which comes to the screen with Christopher Plummer in the lead role. The central issue is the status of Tolstoy's will as regards the custody of his literary estate. Long assumed to be the provenance of his wife, the Countess Sofya (Helen Mirren), it's now being claimed by Tolstoy's chief disciple, Chertkov (Paul Giamatti), as the rightful property of the Russian people. Very close, he believes, to getting the old man to sign away his life's work to the public domain, Chertkov engages the fastidious, worshipful young Valentin (James McAvoy) to become the writer's new assistant and Chertkov's spy, obliged to record and report everything said in the fraught household. The classically beautiful score by St. Petersberg composer Sergey Yevtushenko captures the majesty of the Russian landscape and the drama of Tolstoy&rsquo;s life.
