The Cinematic Sound Radio Show turned 14 years old back in September of 2010. Better late than never we are proud to present our 14th Anniversary Special featuring 14 (actually 15) of my personal favorite re-recordings of all time. This are albums that I reach for when I want to hear the very best in re-recorded film scores whether being a complete re-recording of a classic score or a compilation album featuring a variety of themes from various composers. Over the course of the next few weeks (maybe months – hopefully not years) we will be uploading one new audio file containing a review of the album and an extended suite of music from that album. With that, happy listening and enjoy the countdown. Visit the 14th Anniversary archive page HERE!
Our number 14 re-recording of all time (tied with Miklos Rozsa’s EL CID) is Leonard Bernstein’s only film score to the classic film ON THE WATERFRONT (1954) recorded by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by the composer. This suite is available on the 2CD compilation album called PANORAMA released by Deutsche Grammophon.
Wow, I was not familiar with this work at all (still trying to add more Bernstein to my library. Well seems like a great addition. Like you mentioned I hear a lot of stuff that would obviously influence Goldsmith. Thanks for highlighting this one!
Good to read that you enjoyed this one!
