Varese Sarabande Records has revealed the latest titles in their long-running Soundtrack CD Club. This batch includes some of the most lauded composers in film history (Goldsmith, Newman, Conti) and a rare treat in the form of a film music concert on CD and DVD.
First up is another never-before-released score from Jerry Goldsmith. 1963's A Gathering of Eagles was a thrilling military drama starring Kevin McCarthy and Rock Hudson as an Army general and colonel struggling to maintain order in their units during peacetime. Released the same year Goldsmith received his first of 17 impressive Oscar nominations, Eagles is early, prime Goldsmith that earns each of its 3,000 copies pressed.
Next is a Golden Age two-fer that features some star turns from 20th Century-Fox's legendary Alfred Newman. On The Snake Pit/The Three Faces of Eve, Newman composed and conducted the former (an Oscar-nominated score to a 1948 psychological drama starring Olivia de Havilland) and conducted the latter, written by Robert Emmett Dolan for a 1957 picture about multiple-personality disorder. This set is limited to 1,500 copies.
The label has prepped two debut CD releases of previously-pressed LPs in this batch. Bill Conti's score to The Formula, a 1981 thriller starring Marlon Brando and George C. Scott and directed by John G. Avildsen, gets a 1,200-unit run, while Nightflyers, a 1987 sci-fi film with a synth-heavy score composed by Doug Timm (a young composer tragically murdered two years later), will be pressed at 1,000.
Perhaps the most intriguing new release, however, is a live CD/DVD set recorded at the Fimucité Music Festival in the Canary Islands in 2008. Diego Navarro and Joel McNeely led the Tenerife Film Orchestra and Choir through all-time film score classics, and that performance has been preserved for fans to hear or view for posterity. Fimucité 2 is limited to 1,000 copies.
