LAST TANGO IN PARIS (2-CD SET IN FULL STEREO!)
Music Composed by Gato Barbieri
Arranged and Conducted by Oliver Nelson
Release date: In stock
Quartet Records and MGM present the world-premiere complete 2-CD edition of the classic score composed by Gato Barbieri for the no-less-classic film directed by Bernardo Bertolucci in 1972, Last Tango in Paris, starring Marlon Brando, Maria Schneider and Jean-Pierre Leaud.
The Argentinian-born composer and saxophonist Gato Barbieri—one of the most prestigious Latin-jazz artists and a living legend (awarded a Latin Grammy last year in recognition of his career)—composed one of the most sensual, unforgettable, catchy and infectious scores of the seventies, whose main theme immediately became a hit.
The successful album released in 1972 by United Artists Records was in fact a re-recording made in New York with great musicians, and a real gem in terms of sound recording. It was first released on CD in the mid-nineties by Ryko, who added to the album about 25 minutes from the original film recording in mono (Varèse Sarabande reissued this same program a few years later). For this edition, we have been fortunate to find the original 8-channel multi-tracks with the complete original film recording, made in Rome.
Listening to all the material prepared by Barbieri for the film (orchestrated and conducted by Oliver Nelson)—an hour of music on 49 different tracks (of which Bertolucci used only about twenty minutes)—adds a wide perspective to this marvelous score heard for the first time in pristine stereo sound.
The second disc features the original album, offered here for the first time mastered from the first-generation 3-track album master tape.
The package includes a 16-page booklet with in-depth liner notes by Tim Greiving, including new interviews with Mr. Barbieri and Mr. Bertolucci.

I'm pretty surprised that this release didn't get more response here. Today's mail had a notice that I can pick up the CDs from the post office tomorrow - I'm really looking forward to it. This is really an AMAZING release. The sound samples from the eight-tracks sound incredible! What a discovery!

I wonder how many hours it took them to come up with the track titles on the first CD? You would have thought they would have had someone watch the movie and give names for the cues.

Sometimes this has happened on previous issues (usually foreign scores) and we were told it was for legal or licensing reasons. The actual liner notes might have titles.
I must admit I had no interest in this title until I noticed Oliver Nelson was involved. If this actually has his sound I might be interested. Love all his stuff. Wish he'd had a much bigger and more high profile career.

Please listen to the sound samples or go to spotify and listen to the album recording and convince yourself that this is an amazing score. And those who are already familiar with the Ryko/Varese/Italian CD should compare Quartet's sample to those available on spotify/amazon to find out that this is a revelation in comparison to anything available from the movie recordings - and I'm saying this without having yet heard the complete disk myself...

This arrived last week, but because of a faulty CD-player, I haven't been able to spin it until yesterday. My gratification may have been delayed, but it is no less complete.
The Album's never sounded better to my ears, and having the complete film tracks is really pretty revelatory - especially when compared to how they were diced up, shuffled around, and used in the film, which I haven't seen since college. But this is really great music, impeccably performed - and it somehow bears the very clear imprimaturs of both Gato Barbieri & Oliver Nelson. Wonderful string arrangements throughout, and gorgeous saxophone work. If you don't have this yet, there's nothing I can do for you. It's a wonderful, totally welcome release, and Quartet's done tremendous work with it, from the aces sound quality to the informative notes. I'll be very surprised if this isn't on my list of favorite film score releases from 2016.
