With an excellent script by Anthony Shaffer, the film was immediately considered one of Hitchcok’s best and has since become a classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the parting of ways with Bernard Herrmann, Hitchcock changed composers in each of his last four films, choosing from those who were popular at the time. For FRENZY, his first choice was Henry Mancini (BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, THE PINK PANTHER, HATARI!, CHARADE), who wrote a sumptuous, gothic-hued score featuring an unusual orchestral palette. The main theme uses the dolorous tones and sepulchral pedals of a mighty organ, and the tension-filled score that follows is grim and at times almost brutal. Hitchcock, feeling it was too “dark and cruel,” turned it down and hired celebrated British composer Ron Goodwin (MURDER, SHE SAID, BATTLE OF BRITAIN, WHERE EAGLES DARE, SQUADRON 633) to compose a lighter, yet still suspenseful, score. For the main title, a panoramic shot over the Thames, Goodwin wrote a majestic melody ornamented with trumpets and timpani, in the best English tradition of pomp and circumstance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFRENZY was the only completely rejected score in Henry Mancini’s long career, and also one of the most famous and requested Goodwin scores over the ensuing decades.

He collaborated with Almodóvar on two other films (MATADOR and WOMEN ON THE VERGE OF A NERVOUS BREAKDOWN) and with many other directors, completing more than 60 films and TV series before his untimely passed at the age of 48, ending the career of one of the most respected composers of Spanish cinema and one of its most personal voices.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBonezzi’s score for ¿QUÉ HE HECHO YO PARA MERECER ESTO! 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe score was never released on album and the masters were considered lost for ages.

The composer always found a way to create cool tunes that managed to tie together the insanely wide-ranging episodes that featured inconsistent quality and tone—and when all else failed, he created singular, individually successful cues for self-contained segments that saved as much of the film as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA 1978 LP release of the music from BRUTES AND SAVAGES is quite hard to come by.

With an excellent script by Anthony Shaffer, the film was immediately considered one of Hitchcok’s best and has since become a classic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter the parting of ways with Bernard Herrmann, Hitchcock changed composers in each of his last four films, choosing from those who were popular at the time. For FRENZY, his first choice was Henry Mancini (BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S, THE PINK PANTHER, HATARI!, CHARADE), who wrote a sumptuous, gothic-hued score featuring an unusual orchestral palette. The main theme uses the dolorous tones and sepulchral pedals of a mighty organ, and the tension-filled score that follows is grim and at times almost brutal. Hitchcock, feeling it was too “dark and cruel,” turned it down and hired celebrated British composer Ron Goodwin (MURDER, SHE SAID, BATTLE OF BRITAIN, WHERE EAGLES DARE, SQUADRON 633) to compose a lighter, yet still suspenseful, score. For the main title, a panoramic shot over the Thames, Goodwin wrote a majestic melody ornamented with trumpets and timpani, in the best English tradition of pomp and circumstance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFRENZY was the only completely rejected score in Henry Mancini’s long career, and also one of the most famous and requested Goodwin scores over the ensuing decades.

Based on the popular novel Le Locataire Chimerique by Roland Topor, the film was directed by Polanski, who also co-wrote the screenplay with his usual partner, Gérad Brach. It co-stars Isabelle Adjani, Melvyn Douglas, Shelley Winters and Jo Van Fleet. Although the film was given a cold reception at the Cannes Film Festival in 1976, over the years it has become a cult film, and one of the most valued in the career of the famous and controversial Polish director. The Tenant was also Polanski’s third production with Paramount after the classics Rosemary’s Baby and Chinatown.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOne of the most important aspects of The Tenant is that it was the first collaboration between Polanski and composer Philippe Sarde—who was only 28 years old when he composed the score.

He took very similar approaches in the American gangster films STATE OF GRACE, THE UNTOUCHABLES and BUGSY.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe original 10-track LP of REVOLVER was released in 1973 by General Music and reissued lately in Italy and Japan.

It breathes, vibrates, transmits, and is characterized by its episodic and atmospheric structure, taking the form of an evocative soundscape. The composer draws on resources that recall a primitive, spiritual component: tribal percussion (tablas and bongos), solo woodwinds (flutes and clarinets), guitar, sitar, clanging metal and harp. The fusion of timbres in this instrumentation is unconventional. He expressively sets to music ideas associated with wind or nature, sound textures that construct Tanai’s intimate journey: we hear the sea, we feel the air roaring over the sail of his canoe, the danger lurking in the ocean, his loneliness. The music is another character that gives the film a lyrical dimension and complements the visual element, transcending its narrative function to become a gateway to meditation on the mystery of the sea and existence.

Furie in 1965, is a landmark of British cinema. The first film in the series centered on spy Harry Palmer—the anti-Bond—and it marked Michael Caine’s first leading role and immediately catapulted him to stardom. Set entirely in London, the story follows a small group of unassuming civil servants as they quietly pursue an even smaller network of traitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDuring one of the most prolific and successful periods of his career, when he was producing one masterpiece after another, John Barry composed a remarkable score for THE IPCRESS FILE. He sought a unique musical identity tailored to the story and its characters, one that would distinguish the mundane world of real-life British intelligence operatives from the larger-than-life fantasy of James Bond. The score features an iconic main theme, infused with jazz influences and highlighted by a distinctive cimbalom solo. For Barry, the film’s Cold War setting provided the perfect showcase for the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAround the time of the film’s premiere, Barry assembled a lavish album for Decca. However, it consisted primarily of imaginative variations, arrangements and jazz improvisations based on the main theme. Barry composed nearly 50 minutes of original music for THE IPCRESS FILE, yet only 17 minutes were included on the album—edited, rearranged and presented alongside jazz interpretations to create an ideal listening experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe have not attempted to recreate the various jazz improvisations, as no professional jazz musician would seek to replicate another performer’s improvisations—nor should they. Transcribing them to paper is ultimately a futile exercise that can never fully capture the spirit of the original performances. Even so, we have always regarded this album as a complement to, rather than a replacement for, the irreplaceable original film recording. Each represents a distinct yet equally fascinating musical world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUsing our own new recording, Chris Malone has reconstructed the versions of the original underscore presented by Barry on the Decca album, faithfully reproducing the edits and alterations he made while also incorporating additional material not included on the original LP. The result is a cohesive album designed to provide the kind of rewarding listening experience that characterized the golden age of vinyl in the 1960s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressed on black and orange-colored vinyl, this limited edition features lavish artwork by Jim Titus and is strictly limited to 400 copies worldwide.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n[[Selling Points]]\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew recording of John Barry's iconic score composed for the 1965 thriller starring Michael Caine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLimited edition of 400 copies\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePressed on black and orange color vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n[[Catalog Number]]QRLP69[[Artist]]John Barry","brand":"Quartet Records","offers":[{"title":"The Ipcress File \/ Album \/ LP Orange \u0026 Black","offer_id":48392481472757,"sku":"QRLP69","price":31.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0080\/6417\/2096\/files\/8436560849698.jpg?v=1783640053"},{"product_id":"la-polizia-e-al-servizio-del-cittadino","title":"La polizia è al servizio del cittadino?","description":"[[Release Detail]][[Release Description]]\n\n\u003cp\u003eQuartet Records presents the premiere vinyl edition of Luis Bacalov’s iconic urban score for LA POLIZIA È AL SERVIZIO DEL CITTADINO?, a 1973 film directed by Romolo Guerrieri and starring Enrico Maria Salerno.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe film is a compelling entry in the golden age of the Italian poliziottesco.
