It's odd that the writers of the jettisoned songs remain so distinctly anonymous. I'm rather fond of the old Pye album and it's a shame Castle Music (Sanctuary Music) never got around to releasing it on CD, but maybe ITC own the masters and some licensing problems prevented it at that time. The score was recorded at CTS in London with the New Philharmonia Orchestra in 1974. There are a few minutes in SLIGHTLY better sound on the Universal 4cd box. I'm forever indebted to a lovely, knowledgable, respected & lovely member of this board when I think of this score.
Sounds like a fairly large orchestra but the Pye recording belies that if so.ĭont know about the songs - never heard them, never released, sorry OP. It's one of those loopy, off kilter waltzy scores, grown from the tree of Ryan's Daughter. This is like Henry praising a Conti score, so take that into consideration. What's the Jarre score like? I'm guessing orchestral and slightly off-centre, in that inimitable Jarre wayġ1. I take it this score was never even released on LP at the time? Never even heard of this one, I'm afraid, so can't help with your query. However, I've been trying to discover who wrote the songs that were apparently discarded after several weeks of shooting, but with no luck so far. A very stodgy affair, to be sure, though I do like Maurice Jarre's score and wish it was on CD. This was on Talking Pictures TV here in the UK over the weekend.
