Presumed Innocent: The Deluxe Edition (CD)
JOHN WILLIAMS
UPC: 888072419094
Release Date: 5/20/2022
Regular price$ 19.99


Presumed Innocent, the debut novel of Scott Turow, was a bestseller upon publication in 1987: a twisty, ultra-smart account of a prosecutor investigating the murder of a brilliant colleague with whom he was having an affair—and all clues point to himself as the perpetrator.

The book was made into an equally riveting, first-class film in 1990, directed by Alan J. Pakula (Klute, All the President’s Men) and starring Harrison Ford, Brian Dennehy, Raul Julia, Bonnie Bedelia, Paul Winfield, Greta Scacchi and John Spencer.

By 1990, John Williams was a worldwide icon for his soundtracks to blockbusters—but he was a master of every possible genre, including the unique combination of crime thriller and courtroom drama that was Presumed Innocent.

Williams created a haunting, beguiling score of subtle piano, noble yet melancholy French horn, churning strings and even a wisp of synthesizer to express the film’s exploration of guilt and innocence, virtue and obsession. It is an exquisitely subtle score, but melodic and stimulating—and dramatically pitch-perfect.

Presumed Innocent was released by Varèse Sarabande at the time of the film, and has now been expanded and remastered by Mike Matessino in a new program of the complete score, followed by unique album versions and alternates. New liner notes are by Jeff Bond.

Limited edition of 2,500 copies.

This is a terrific score. I always admired how Williams took this long, classically structured melody but then could break it down to its component parts and just a few notes had such gravitas. What a nice surprise!

Wonderful score. More additional music than I would have thought.

I'm astonished I guessed this one correctly - that's never happened before. wink

WOW! Did not expect this to come true.

Always loved this score. Can’t wait to have it expanded.

THANK YOU, VS!

This is one of my favorite John Williams scores. I love the Original Soundtrack album too, it is very well put togethet and flows well. But this is a re-release I will definitely get. Very interested in this.

I have not had a copy of this score since the cassette days, but I liked that tape quite a bit.
Has there been any mention of digital availability?
Iron Giant was available digitally at the same time as the cd, but I notice the cd here says ready to ship June 1st, so maybe then?

Seriously... I'm really glad that this great score got an expanded edition.
Always loved both the film and the score.

I wanted the OST presentation on a second disc. Boo! Hiss!!!!

I really dig the structure of this release, with only unique album versions presented on the back half rather than the whole OST with repeats.

I'm delighted to see this release. This is one of those old Varese titles that cried out for a re-do (Witness and The Sixth Sense are others). I'll be getting it.
