We are UNDER 100 LEFT!!!








FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Composed by Victor Young

Victor Young’s score for For Whom The Bell Tolls is simply one of the greatest he ever wrote. We are so excited to be presenting this score for the first time in almost 25 years and sounding better than ever! Victor Young began his film career in 1935. His scores include Around The World In 80 Days, The Quiet Man, Shane and Scaramouche. His songs include When I Fall In Love, Stella By Starlight, Golden Earrings and Love Letters. If you don’t know this score, just give these samples a listen.

Based on the best-selling controversial novel by Pulitzer and Nobel Prize-winning author Ernest Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls graces the screen with legendary stars Gary Cooper and Ingrid Bergman. The story follows expatriate American demolition expert Robert Jordan (Cooper) who aides anti-fascist freedom fighters of Spain. Assisting him is a band of warriors including the strong-willed Pilar (Katina Paxinou in an Oscar winning performance), the dangerously undependable Pablo (Akim Tamiroff) and the lovely, innocent Maria (Bergman). As danger mounts, Robert and Maria develop a closeness that blossoms into one of the screen's greatest love stories. Epic in scope yet intimate in feeling, For Whom the Bell Tolls remains a shining example of Hollywood moviemaking at its finest.

The recording date says 1958 and the sound is audiophile....was this a rerecording?

But wow, this sounds great. Those who asked for golden age sure got their wish...

This is not "an original sound track", it a re release of the 1950 ' s warner bros re - record. Nice artwork.

This sounds remarkable.

It's a gorgeous score and soon it will be mine.

One of the finest scores in all film music. Beautiful music.
I just realized this is the Heindorf re-recording that was previously on the Stanyan label.
But the clips do sound a like a big improvement.

Yeah looking it up the film is from 1943. Why doesn't Varese's blurb say these things?

So, despite the fancy artwork, this is essentially the same WB lp that Ray Heindorf recorded in the 1950's?

And here I was thinking these were the music tracks.

I began to suspect something, when I noticed this has no Overture, Entr'acte, or Exit tracks, all of which are part of the film in its roadshow version, which is available on DVD, with those cues intact.

Oh well.

Nice packaging, though.

The cover does state "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack". But this is an error isn't it?

Would have preferred something unreleased, so maybe next year for me... Although Golden Age re-recording is still from Golden Age, I guess.

That's quite a bad slip actually. When I first saw the announcement I saw "Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" and decided immediately to buy it. Only subsequently did I look at the back and see it's the same re-recording I have already and NOT the soundtrack.
Well, the sound quality of the clips have made me decide to order it anyway (I already know it's a very fine performance), but there might be some people who, seeing the cover, order immediately and only afterwards realize it isn't the soundtrack.

In all fairness, the original Warner LP says Original Motion Picture Score:

I bought the Stanyan CD in London during my autumn term at the University of Surrey in 1993.

And thanks to Varèse, today I feel 21 years younger !

The old LP/CD was correct, it is the motion picture score, not the original soundtrack.

The Stanyan symbol is also on the back cover of the CD. I guess this means we can also expect a re-issue of THE NUN'S STORY from Varese in the future.
