Quartet 05-07-2013: CRUSOE / MONA LISA + CASTAWAY
Nowe wydania z QUARTET RECORDS:
CRUSOE
Music Composed and Conducted by Michael Kamen
Limited Edition of 1000 units
World premiere release of Michael Kamen’s moving, emotional score dated in 1988 for Caleb Deschanel personal vision of Robinson Crusoe, starring Aidan Quinn and Elvis Payne.
Michael Kamen (Highlander, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves, Licence to Kill, Mona Lisa) provides one of its best efforts: a reflexive, ethnic influenced score dominated by a melancholy melody that reflects the character of Crusoe. The music was performed by The National Philarmonic Orchestra.
Now after spending nearly as long in Michael Kamen’s archives as Daniel Defoe’s castaway did on the author’s remote island, Crusoe has finally been rescued for CD. Its score is presented here in the form the composer originally conceived for its (never-released) soundtrack album. Crusoe remains one of Michael Kamen’s most intimate and evocative works, portraying Crusoe’s island as a state of mind as much as a rugged place for adventure. More importantly, his work showed it was a place where so-called civilized and primitive music could share a common bond of humanity.
The package includes a 16-page full color booklet, and liner notes by Daniel Schweiger, who discuss the film and the score, and also includes interviews with Caleb Deschanel and sound engineer Stephen McLaughlin.
MONA LISA
Music Composed and Conducted by Michael Kamen
CASTAWAY
Original Music Composed by Stanley Myers & Hans Zimmer
Produced by Hans Zimmer
Limited Edition of 1000 units
Two-on-one CD premiere of two soundtrack albums previously issued on LP by EMI.
Michael Kamen's Mona Lisa (1986) was written for Neil Jordan's stylish crime story about a high-class prostitute and her reluctant driver who descend into the London underworld while forming an unlikely alliance in the process. Kamen's score is infused with two Nat King Cole standards (the eponymous "Mona Lisa" and "When I Fall in Love"), but he also provides excellent suspense cues for scenes of deceit and murder. The soundtrack also contains two vintage Nat King Cole recording, two contemporary pop songs and an excerpt from Puccini's Madame Butterfly.
Stanley Myers and Hans Zimmer’s Castaway (1987) underscores Nicholas Roeg's erotic tale based on a true story concerning a woman who volunteers to be the wife-for-hire to an eccentric writer, seeking refugee on a deserted island for a year. Myers and Zimmer music (although the LP released at his date said only "Original Music by Stanley Myers" and Hans Zimmer was credited in the section of “aditional music”, actually all the tracks were composed by both composers, and produced entirely by Hans Zimmer) offers a psychedelic pop exotica experiment shaped by the sound of the sea, the wind and the forest. The soundtrack program also includes the theme song by Kate Bush and one additonal track by Brian Eno.
This release contains both soundtrack programs as they originally appeared on LP, and has been mastered from first generation master tapes vaulted at Abbey Road Studios in London. The package is rounded out with richly illustrated booklet with liner notes by Gergely Hubai, who discusses both films and scores in detail.

Castaway słuchałem, jak przygotowywałem swój wywiad z Zimmerem, ale nic z tego nie pamiętam, reszty niestety nie znam.

Obejrzałem wczoraj to "Castaway" jest na youtubie. I naprawdę moim skromnym zdaniem, niewarte jest to wydania jako soundtracka.

Tak dokładnie to po prostu dali stary kawałek Eno & Hassella - Chemistry. Mefi dawał to nawet w "Jaka to melodia?"Koper pisze:Za to niezłe postaci additionale robiły, jak widzę na okładce.

Próbkę Crusoe możesz posłuchać na składance Kamena Michael Kamen's Opus, utwór Marooned - całkiem niezłe, całe lata byłem ciekaw całości, bo filmu niestety nie widziałem. Natomiast Mona Lisa wyszła kiedyś na LPku - taki mix score'u i piosenek. Bardzo ładna, liryczna, choć wielce intymna praca, mocno charakterystyczna dla Kamena. Liczę więc na więcej materiału i dobry remastering.Krzysiek pisze:Może ktoś coś więcej napisać o muzyce z tych płyt?

Jak dla mnie średniawe Ta płyta to głównie perełka na rożek angielski w postaci utworu "Rowena", ale to z innego filmuMefisto pisze:Próbkę Crusoe możesz posłuchać na składance Kamena Michael Kamen's Opus, utwór Marooned - całkiem niezłeKrzysiek pisze:Może ktoś coś więcej napisać o muzyce z tych płyt?
