All right you guys. Time to engage. I'm going to take a little informal poll here. I thought about posting this on one of the highly trafficked message boards, but that can get a little overwhelming. I figure the folks who show up here have good taste, good looks and plenty of discretion. (blogger brown-nose alert)
So, here it is; I'm trying to decide what score to tackle next in our series of rerecordings. What film scores would absolutely make your year to have rerecorded? Let's limit your choices to 5 each.
Leave off Spartacus. Unless some fan wants to finance the project, it simply isn't financially doable, due to the gigantically massive orchestral forces needed.
Now don't misunderstand, the decision is ultimately not up to me. Bob Townson is the producer and he makes the calls (which I'd say he's done a pretty phenomenal job of, don't you agree? 2001 North...hello?) But I thought it would be interesting to take a straw poll, to take the pulse of those of you who buy and collect scores, to see what you are longing for.
And who knows, if we get a strong consensus for something, we'll see what can be done.
Now let's hear from you. Don't be shy.
Cheers,
Joel

Hello !
Alex North would be a great choice. But maybe because we already have many great records of his music (original or rerecordings), I was thinking about some more rare (commercially unfeasable?)beauties. How about some Aaron Copland ?...scores like "Our town", "Red Poney", "the Heiress"...
Walter Shumann's "The Night of the Hunter" ? Is the score available ?
Virgil Thomson ? But his most famous scores are already available on cd...
George Antheil's "The Plainsman" ?
maybe the original film score of Lenny Bernstein's "On the Waterfront" ?

1. Obsession (complete)
2. Journey to the Center of the Earth
3. Beneath the 12-Mile Reef
4. Rozsa: Golden Voyage of Sinbad (lousy sound quality on the original, and a poor orchestra)

Dear mr. McNeely,
thank you for asking the soundtrack community,
I really hope it will
give you some great ideas
(that are do-able)
1. The Fall of the Roman Empire (Dimitri Tiomkin)
2. Taras Bulba (Franz Waxman)
3. Lost Horizon (Dimitri Tiomkin)
4. a compilation of 'suites' from Kurosawa films (7 Samurai/Hidden Fortress/Dodeskaden/Throne of Blood/Dersu Uzala/Kagemusha/Ran)
5. Twilight Zone TV episodes by Goldsmith
Posted by Wim van Schaik | December 8, 2007 11:58 AM
Posted on December 8, 2007 11:58
These are a handful of the full recordings that would get me to jump up and down:
The Devil and Daniel Webster - Herrmann (astounding that nobody's attempted this yet)
The Jungle Book - Rozsa
Madame Bouvary - Rozsa
Original tracks of both are available in some form, but a full stereo-recording would make them flower.
The Invisible Ray - Waxman
A short suite is simply not enough.
Wuthering Heights - Newman
Need I say more?
Posted by Paul Cote | December 8, 2007 1:01 PM

I have to join the Rozsa crowd with my choices.

Mr. McNeely has opened his portals to us huddled masses. Honour upon honour! 'great idea.
Okay, since this is a Rozsa centenary year, I would go with three scores that need the full treatent and aren't on anyone's 'to do' list that I know of:
(a) 'A Double Life' which was his second oscar, and almost never performed on record. It's a showpiece of his psychological, film noir, and historical styles, and although not as internally elegantly structured as, say, 'Ivanhoe' or 'Julius Caesar' is nonetheless a great score, badly under-represented.
(b) 'The Red House', an absolutely classic score, praised even by Herrmann (!) and never fully represented.
(c) Quo Vadis? Everyone thinks this one is too big, too expensive. Okay, it has a big chorus, but in fact it's not really more than about an hour and a quarter, and much of the stuff is period source that uses small ensembles. I think it's feasible, if you leave out the orchestral suite and book the chamber players seperately.
Two others:
(d) Korngold's 'Juarez'
and (no chance, but I'd love it)
(e) Jerome Moross's complete uncut score for 'The War Lord' including the Salter material, either in suit or as an appendix.
Thanks very much for deigning to ask us.

We've been spoiled lately with the wealth of Herrmann re-recordings, but I'd love to hear more of his TV work, so I second the call for a recording of:
1. Herrmann's scores for ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS
And though these are both esoteric choices, they do feature big name composers and really interesting music:
2. ENDLESS NIGHT (Herrmann)
3. HE RAN ALL THE WAY (Waxman)
I'm not a huge Max Steiner fan, but I find this score magical:
4. THE GLASS MENAGERIE (Steiner)
And finally, not as vintage, but still a favorite of mine:
5. SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (Horner)
In any event, I'm looking forward to hearing what you do next!

Wuthering Heights by Alfred Newman

Waxman: Taras Bulba
Korngold: Captain Blood

Herrmann: White Witch Doctor
Of course, I wouldn't mind any of the Nascimbene suggestions either...

Dear Mr.McNeely
It is difficult to choose, but it should be for sure a score from the golden age due to the incredible sound improvement that could be achieved. Maybe Dr.Rozsa's excellent score for The Jungle Book would be great.
Posted by Chat Noir | December 12, 2007 6:44 AM
Posted on December 12, 2007 06:44
With FSM's OST of Herrmann's On Dangerous Ground as evidence, I would love to hear this score in modern sound.
Also, I agree with many others in choosing Waxman's Taras Bulba. Waxman's own re-recording of selections is fine on its own terms, but the composer was forced to use a reduced orchestra, as many did at the time.
Posted by Gordon Thomas | December 12, 2007 6:46 AM
Posted on December 12, 2007 06:46
Isn't Taras Bulba being re-recorded by Morgan-Stromberg? Perhaps I misread that on the Film Score Monthly forum...
Posted by Joe Rixman | December 12, 2007 11:35 AM
Posted on December 12, 2007 11:35
Unfortunately no, that was a joking comment by Franz when "Spartacus" was brought up as a possibility for Morgan/Stromberg (unfortunately Bill Stromberg confirmed later in that thread that such a recording would be a massive undertaking not only because of the orchestral forces but the sheer amount of music involved). There are no (announced) plans for them to record "Taras Bulba."
At the risk of sounding like a parrot again, Mr. Thomas raised another title I think would be an excellent choice, "On Dangerous Ground."
Posted by Joshua Gizelt | December 12, 2007 12:47 PM
Posted on December 12, 2007 12:47
Sorry to chip in again, I've had my five, but I believe (I could be wrong) that J. Morgan mentioned that Rozsa's 'Five Graves to Cairo' is on his 'to do' list soon, and has even been researched.
Any Alex North at all would be welcome to me also.

Scores that have had a lot of music cut from them are always interesting - two come to mind
Quo Vadis - Rozsqa wrote and recorded over 95 minutes of music - only 67 ened up in the film.
Taras Bulba - The film was to be a three hour roadshow. Waxan wrote some two hours of music for the three hour version.
Rozsa- That Hamilton Woman
herrmann - White Witch Doctor, Naked and the dead, king of the Khyber Rifles, Prince of Players
North - Unchained

This is tough, but it would come down to:
Rosza - THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD, or QUO VADIS
Gold - EXODUS
J. Williams - FAMILY PLOT
Herrmann - Gotta go with ON DANGEROUS GROUND here!
But did I not read an interview once...in which you said...that you'd like to rerecord TAXI DRIVER - and play the saxophone solo?? :D That might knock that one up to first....
You'll certainly have a tough decision. Thanks for asking for our input, and NxNW really sounds fantastic, great work by all involved!

Hi Joel! It's really lovely you're asking opinions to the soundtrack fan community.
Here's my picks:
. TARAS BULBA (Waxman)
. THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO MUCH (Herrmann)
. THE LOST WEEKEND (Rozsa)
. CAPTAIN FROM CASTILE (Newman -- this score really cries for a full-blooded digital recording!)
. ON DANGEROUS GROUND (Herrmann)
Other pretty fine candidates would be: THE SPIRIT OF ST LOUIS (Waxman), DRAGONSLAYER (North), THE JUNGLE BOOK (Rozsa), CAPTAIN BLOOD (Korngold), THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER (Herrmann).
I'm still waiting for my NXNW to arrive... I really can't wait to hear your take on this one.
Thanks for asking! It's appreciated!

Very difficult to pick just five and I am a bit surprised that stuff that is already being planned is also appearing here. I though eg James Fitzpatrick is actually planning to record complete Lawrence score in the future.
So I'd choose:
Bernstein - Slipstream
Goldsmith - Reincarnation of Peter Proud
Bernstein - Heavy Metall or Ten Commandments (although that is hardly smaller than Spartacus)
Delerue - just anything - eg House on Carroll Streeet would be amazing when masters are confirmed lost
Marco Beltrami - Texas Rangers / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - that would kill me on the spot to see this announced but one can at least dream, right?
