The latest release from Intrada is a re-recording of some of Jerry Goldsmith's earliest works, episode scores for the TV anthology series GENERAL ELECTRIC THEATER, which aired from 1953 to 1962. Leigh Phillips conducts this recording with the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, with the scores dating back to as early as 1959. The collection also includes "Autumn Love," a suite Goldsmith composed for the CBS Music Library.

DID THEY MENTION THE MUSIC?
BANEL & ADAMA - Bachar Mar-Khalifé
"Sy’s film is a curious little fable, not quite fully formed in its final stages, and occasionally so sedate and opaque, under Bachar Mar-Khalifé’s melodic, piano-forward score, that it feels like it is drowsing. But it’s a striking debut nonetheless, especially as it revolves, with graceful poetry around the inner experiences of such a curious, unknowable woman."
Jessica Kiang, Variety
"That decision comes with consequences. After Adama turns down the role of chief, catastrophic occurrences begin taking place in the village. An extended drought kills all of the cattle, forcing the men to leave their homes for work opportunities elsewhere. People start dying off, instigating a steady procession of funerals, all of which Adama must preside over. This destruction is rendered with devastating beauty and gestures toward the deleterious effects of climate change in countries like Senegal. Sy, along with DP Amine Berrada and a laconic score by composer Bachar Mar-Khalifé, nimbly convey the progression of the village’s ruin. The arid conditions drain the sand of its color, turning what was once a desaturated orange nearly white. The bodies of cattle decompose, leaving brittle and parched skin. Brown mounds mark the site of newly dug graves."
Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter
HANDLING THE UNDEAD - Peter Raeburn
"This translation to the screen has many elements that 'work,' at least on an individual level. Composer Peter Raeburn’s score, which picked up a special jury award at the Sundance Film Festival when the movie made its debut there earlier this year, trades in thin ribbons of surging dread that subconsciously mirror the movie’s triggering electromagnetic pulse."
Brent Simon, The Onion AV Club
"The actors commit with uniform solemnity and intelligence to the premise, though 'Handling the Undead' treats its performances as merely another contributing element to its tensely poised climate of kitchen-sink surrealism. Equally active in its maintenance are the watchful, stalking presence of Rokseth’s camera, the dusty carpeting and lived-in decay of Linda Janson’s production design and, most gnawingly of all, the shrilly anguished strings and discordant piano of Peter Raeburn’s excellent score. In her first fully-fledged feature after an eye-catching series of shorts and music videos, Hvistendahl cultivates baleful atmosphere with aplomb, but the film’s beautiful sorrow shifts and shivers with subtle changes in human (and not-quite-human) mood. Even zombies, it seems, have better days and worse ones."
Guy Lodge, Variety
"Hvistendahl shows great control, maintaining a solemn tone, matched by the detached observational style of DP Pal Ulvik Rokseth’s camera, favoring medium or long shots. The movie’s stillness and the sparseness of its dialogue make the sparingly used jolts of startling violence effective. There’s economy also in the way Peter Raeburn’s score is employed, building major dramatic intensity only in the wrenching final act."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
HORIZON: AN AMERICAN SAGA - CHAPTER 1 - John Debney
"Because as much as Costner tries to play an even hand, attempting to give the Indigenous and settler perspective equal attention, it doesn’t wholly work. Yes, we meet the family of the Apache warriors, but their screen time pales in comparison to their white counterparts. It also doesn’t help that the white women characters are, for the most part, so clean and luminous -- nary a speck of dust on them despite their grungy surroundings -- that they appear angelic on screen. The score is equally telling: It’s a gorgeous, big, triumphant Old Hollywood score whose most sympathetic notes are reserved for the film’s white characters. Costner does at least include a diverse cast, nodding toward the presence of Black people and Chinese immigrants in the history of the West, tracing across the vast, sumptuously photographed landscape by DP J. Michael Muro."
Robert Daniels, RogerEbert.com
"Everything about 'Horizon' is retrograde. Men are noble heroes (like Hayes Ellison, the drifter played by Costner), or brutes who toss around the women, themselves either saintly like Miller or frivolous and nagging. Even the score from John Debney, with its sweeping strings, feels like it was piped in the ’90s. But Costner was better in that era -- there’s more nuance in 'Dances with Wolves' than there is here."
Esther Zuckerman, The Daily Beast
"Besides the debate over whether it is or isn’t a movie, there’s also the question of the depiction of Native Americans in the end product. It’s initially refreshing to hear Gephardt question the settlers as to why of all places they set up camp in Horizon. Did the three graves across the river not suggest perhaps this riverbed was off-limits? Gephardt and Riordan also give much-needed exposition on the other Apache tribes and indigenous groups that are relatively peaceful to settlers if you leave them alone. The conversations within the Apache tribe also depict an old guard attempting to make the argument to an angry, impatient new generation ready that they are safe in the hills. They don’t need to engage with the settlers. The youngsters want nothing of it and demand their land back by any means necessary. In theory, this is a smart depiction of the various viewpoints of this era. But Costner and composer John Debney score the attack on Horizon (and other Indian encounters) with a sweeping and grandiose sympathy only for the settlers (who, again, shouldn’t be there). It almost undoes all of the positive portrayal that comes before it."
Gregory Ellwood, The Playlist
"'Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1''s title card is accompanied by the sound of John Debney’s Old West score swelling to a crescendo -- an announcement of writer/director/star Kevin Costner’s epic intentions for this throwback oater, which is the maiden segment of a four-installment magnum opus. However, no matter that bellowing introduction or the fact that it runs a whopping three hours long, the Oscar-winner’s first behind-the-camera effort since 2003’s 'Open Range' feels surprisingly small, slender, and scattershot. A multi-pronged look at the Civil War-wracked 1860s, it’s a stab at widescreen grandeur that’s so expansive and incomplete that it resembles a modern television series awkwardly edited into feature form."
Nick Schager, The Daily Beast
"There is a distinctly retro feel to this project -- and not in a classic, old-fashioned way, but rather, in a dated, out-of-touch way, in the plotting and the style. It looks and sounds like a 1990s television miniseries, photographed with flat, bright compositions and scored to a syrupy, sentimental and emotionally oppressive score by John Debney."
Katie Walsh, Los Angeles Times
"The movie, set in 1859 in territories that sprawl from Wyoming to Kansas, has stately mesa backdrops that look like they’d fit right into Monument Valley. It’s got a rousing 1950s-syle musical score (by John Debney) that lays on the Old West sentimentality even when dire things are happening. And a good portion of the movie is built around the violence that erupts between settlers and Indigenous tribes -- a theme that takes it back to the age when American Westerns were flagrantly racist (which isn’t true of 'Horizon,' though when it comes to dealing with Native issues the film is not without its problems)."
Owen Gleiberman, Variety
"The blustery notes of John Debney’s score over the opening title card announce that we’re about to watch A Work of Great Importance. It begins in Arizona’s San Pedro Valley in 1859, as three surveyors, one of them just a boy, hammer stakes into the ground to mark a plot of riverside land. Two Indigenous kids observing from the rocky hills wonder what the white folks are doing and why they have come. The two adult Native brothers who appear shortly after, Pionsenay (Owen Crow Shoe) and Taklishim (Tatanka Means), are not so much curious as simmering with rage."
David Rooney, The Hollywood Reporter
THE WATCHERS - Abel Korzeniowski
"Shyamalan also shares her father’s penchant for classicism, and her painterly framing -- along with Abel Korzeniowski’s spiraling violin score -- helps to prevent the movie’s clear and present dangers from overshadowing the more ancient nature of its secrets. Even in its darkest stretches, 'The Watchers' is soaked in moody blues that separate it from so much horror dreck. Even in its most generic moments, Shyamalan’s film is fringed with Irish myth in a way that suggests the story might not fall to ribbons the second that Mina starts to figure things out."
David Ehrlich, IndieWire
"An important thing to know going into 'The Watchers,' the feature directorial debut of Ishana Night Shyamalan, is that it isn’t a horror movie -- it’s folkloric fantasy. That distinction will only matter to people who watched an initial trailer and walk in expecting a focus on scares and violence, instead of on unpacking the mystery and history around the movie’s titular Watchers. Anyone who goes in with the wrong expectations will probably just find 'The Watchers' baffling. It has its share of creepy moments, rising tension, and sudden-blast-of-music jump scares, but as a suspense story, it fizzles out surprisingly early."
Tasha Robinson, Polygon.com
"Produced by dad M. Night Shyamalan and adapted from the novel by West Irish author A.M. Shine (apparently a real name), the movie charges right into its souped-up atmospherics, accompanied by Abel Korzeniowski’s hyperventilating score."
