This will be a definite buy for me. The only score I already have is LIAMST (how's that for an acronym?).

hmm... I guess this is especially for those few that don't already have THE BLACK SWAN, five other versions of CAPTAIN FROM CASTILLE and two versions of LOVE IS MANY SPLENDORED THING...

Not sure I am that eager to spend 60 + massive shipping costs to get the CD 4 that only holds some new material frown


This was the first post in this thread. I found it rather off-putting then and even more off-putting now - I think from the last many responses it is very clear how many people don't actually have any or at least some of the scores in this set. And just to state for the record again, the shipping cost for this is the same as for one CD - you really kind of should apologize. I don't think you will, but, you might want to think about it and maybe not do this kind of thing in the future. And what, pray tell (from your other post) WAS the last interesting Kritzerland release from last year?

Thanks to all who've ordered and continue to order.

I'm not a big Newman fan, and only got the FSM Prince Of Foxes cd last year on Amazon (where it continues to be half-price). But the soundtracks I don't buy immediately from Bruce, I usually get a hankering for a few years later, so I figure I should get this now. Before it sells out. Hate it when that happens.smile

It does! But then I already thought it sounded fantastic on the SAE release (and the rest of the score, even better). Is there anything that stands out about it sounding better than the SAE? I'm buying this set regardless; I'm just curious.

Re. Captain from Castile

I always thought that the Main Title cue was the weakest sounding cue on the SAE release.

I go to Venice around twice a year. this will be the first time I can play the song of venice while I am actually on the canal.

This set is a fun cross reference of reused Newman themes.
The very opening notes of Black Swan uses the motif for the New World from Captain from Castille
Love is a Many Splendored Thing uiss a theme for Hong Kong that was originally the them3e for Chine in the film Keys of the Kingdom.
Best of all - Newman uses a theme used only in the final scene of the Snake Pit - and it becomes the love theme in Prince of Foxes.

May I ask - where where the complete tracks for Prince of Foxes found? What format were they on?

I've been wondering that myself... I'm assuming it was a similar situation to David and Bathsheba, but I'd like to know the details.

Of course...it's the other way around, since Black Swan was half a decade before Captain from Castile. It's a really good theme and works great for the New World, so I don't begrudge Newman the re-use, especially since Captain from Castile was such a monumental work with a dozen themes in it.

Re. Captain from Castile

I think for some reason the main title only survived in mono, whereas the rest of the score was able to be reconstructed in stereo. I don't remember the details of why...

You certainly may ask Mike Matessino. They obviously found it.

Forgot to mention-
Prince of Foxes cue - Festival of Spring this was originally the music for the feast of Fools in Hunchback of Notre Dame, Later used as a wedding festival music in A certain smile

Also Prince - the Dukes Entrance - this march was originally Phoebus rescues Esmeralda in Hunchback and later used as the Rescue of Demetrius in The Robe.

Dare I say it?
Would this not be a good time for La La Land to release
Diary of Anne Frank?

How the packaging looks like?

Is it the same 5-6CD jewel case as FSM's Ben-Hur or is it the box set including jewel cases with individual scores as for example LLL's Harry Potter?

That indeed would be amazing timing, but they're already contributing The Bride of Frankenstein to this Golden Age love fest at the moment.

Methinks we Golden Age fans will need to replenish our funds a bit now. smile

I'm just glad to know it's still in the works at LLL and they haven't cancelled it like they had to do with the long-expected expansions of Waxman's Sayonara and The Spirit of St. Louis...

Same as FSM's 5-CD jewel case for TV Omnibus.

Bruce, can you say how the Henry King at Fox is selling? Hope it will sell out!

We've done better than I thought with it at Kritzerland, but while I know what the main dealer is taking, which is a good number, I don't know what the others are taking - that will tell the tale.

Well, it's number ONE at Screen Archives and, in fact, Kritzerland has six titles in the top-ten!

How are sales coming along? I'm aiming to get this ASAP and I don't want to miss out.

BTW - the set is nothing short of FAN-FREAKING-TASTIC!
