The last time I got an update from Bernstein website was that Elmer was planning the issuance of the series before his passing. If Varese Sarabande is upto the challange of restoring this series and I think combined with Matthew Peak's paintings much like the Varese Classic Score series would become a boon to these releases. I'd say lets make this happen and let the logistics workout a good deal. The fans will definetly pay a good deal of money for this. I know Varese tried to acquire the license in the past but it was said that "Its all upto Elmer" Im sure Elmer Bernstein's estate would be more than happy to get these series out. A wonderful homage to Bernstein's legacy! Amer    Posted:   Aug 11, 2005 - 6:13 PM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) This very subject was discussed only recently. A search on past subjects will find it. Cheers    Posted:   Aug 11, 2005 - 9:12 PM     By:   Robyn Hood   (Member) I just transferred his re-recording of Herrmann's rejected TORN CURTAIN score from LP onto CD. It's really a terrific record. Though Joel McNeely's re-recording of TORN CURTAIN is excellent, I prefer this version.    Posted:   Aug 11, 2005 - 10:48 PM     By:   Paul MacLean   (Member) I tend to prefer the recording quality of the Bernstein FMC over more recent re-recordings. Most were recorded at CTS or Olympic Studios by Dick Lewzey or Keith Grant, respectively. More recent re-recordings have gone for the "concert hall" sound (which is a valid approach) but I like the style of these earlier recordings, which used closer miking, resulting in (to my mind) cleaner, more crisp reproduction.

Just received a response from the BERNSTEIN office: " Glad that you are continuing to enjoy Mr. B's music.. and yes the Film Music Collection should be out toward the end of this year! Finally! Will be lovely to have all that music to listen to." Start saving...this will be an astonishing release!

There are many advantages to being as incredibly young as I am - casual sex being high on the list; but there are also many disadvantages - not having been around when Elmer's Film Music Collection was released on LP being high on THAT list. I've been itching to hear these releases ever since I first heard about them, years ago. Time, I think, to ask the age-old question: can someone make a listing of all the titles in the collection? That'll start me drooling again...    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 8:10 AM     By:   quiller007   (Member) 1) HELEN OF TROY / A SUMMER PLACE (Steiner) 2) THE MIRACLE / TOCCATA FOR TOY TRAINS (Bernstein) 3) THE SILVER CHALICE (Waxman) 4) THE GHOST & MRS. MUIR (Herrmann) 5) YOUNG BESS (Rozsa) 6) WUTHERING HEIGHTS (Newman) 7) TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (Bernstein) 8) THE THIEF OF BAGDAD (Rozsa) 9) VIVA ZAPATA / DEATH OF A SALESMAN (North) 10) TORN CURTAIN (Herrmann) 11) SCORPIO (Fielding) 12) MADAME BOVARY (Rozsa) 13) LAND OF THE PHAROAHS / GUNFIGHT AT THE O.K.

If they're out by the end of the year, we must be talking BOX SET !!!!. How much will that be ?.    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 9:18 AM     By:   Gordon Pym   (Member) Well, I must confess I'm a bit confused. I thought most masters had been either lost or destroyed. Hmmm... Maybe Lukas can give us a few clues. Or should we hire agents Mulder and Scully ? If this news turns out to be bona fide TRUE, then we're all in for a rare treat indeed!    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 10:43 AM     By:   Amer Zahid   (Member) According to Elmer these were in neglected shape and were thus degraded and damaged. But then again somebody musth ave worked hard on their restoration. Listenng to LP rips for THE THEIF OF BAGHDAD/THE JUNGLE BOOK and TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD the sound quality is wonderful. Its does not have the airy concert hall feel to it. More Elmer Bernstein surprises are also in store for us. I believe the cds will be relased on Amber Records. Will keep you all posted as more news is confirmed. Amer    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 12:25 PM     By:   Dana Wilcox   (Member) YOU WONT BELIVE THIS!!!

I only hope that the time frame is more on target than the one(s) given for KINGS OF THE SUN...    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 12:35 PM     By:   George A Flaxman   (Member) Good work Amer, and great news!!! I only hope that the time frame is more on target than the one(s) given for KINGS OF THE SUN... Point taken, but the release of "Kings of the Sun" was originally undertaken by the Maestro himself, and he just never had time to do it. I imagine that the estate has hired someone to do it, so having other things to do is no longer an impediment.    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 1:02 PM     By:   Neil S. Bulk   (Member) Please be SA-CDs. Neil    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 2:17 PM     By:   John B. Archibald   (Member) Does anyone know what other releases Bernstein considered doing? And, did he record anything that was never released? Are there any extended or unreleased cues from these original recording sessions, which could be added to CD releases of them? Just curious...    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 4:21 PM     By:   quiller007   (Member) I believe the cds will be relased on Amber Records. Will keep you all posted as more news is confirmed. Amer I wouldn't count on album no.11 - SCORPIO getting released in this bunch. That was the only original soundtrack recording that was in the series, and from what I understand the tapes are owned by MGM / Warner. SCORPIO had been previously released on cd by Bay Cities in their limited edition series of Jerry Fielding titles. Den    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 4:46 PM     By:   Anonie_Mouse   (Member) Does anyone know what other releases Bernstein considered doing? Why? You think he'll get to them now?    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 4:57 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) Are there any extended or unreleased cues from these original recording sessions, which could be added to CD releases of them? I don't know about any unreleased or extended cues, but Bernstein did do at least two FMC recordings that were not part of the original series - "Music From the Films of John Wayne" Vols. 1 & 2. They featured his own compositions and were released by Varese. If Varese is involved in this reissue I wonder if these will be included?    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 5:08 PM     By:   mistermike   (Member) And, did he record anything that was never released? --- When the Tiomkin recordings were done, I recall hearing that Rhapsody of Steel was recorded. Does anyone know if this is correct? Didn't EB do a recording of Tiomkin for RCA several years after this?    Posted:   Aug 12, 2005 - 5:15 PM     By:   EdG   (Member) If this pans out the reappearance of the FMS recordings will be THE film music event of the year...at least for those of us who have been collecting soundtracks for - ahem - a while. What a treat! Thanks, Amer, for the heads-up. This is a great time to re-read Elmer's Film Music Notebook, which has been collected and published in a beautiful hardcover by the folks at the Film Music Society. It's absolutely essential reading, and has some comments on the recordings themselves.     General Discussion: Elmer Bernstein's FILM MUSIC COLLECTION Series..    < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
