The new Varese Club whopper set is:
http://www.varesesarabande.com/servlet/the-980/Bernard-Herrmann-At-20th/Detail
Bernard Herrmann At 20th Century Fox
18 Original Motion Picture Soundtracks
14 CD set!
Music Composed and Conducted by Bernard Herrmann
Album Produced by Nick Redman and Robert Townson
In 2010 we celebrated Alex North's 100th birthday with the release of his masterpiece score … SPARTACUS!
Now in 2011 we celebrate the 100th birthday of another of film music’s immortal masters – the legendary Bernard Herrmann!
We’ve been celebrating all year long … premiering 5 CDs of music from The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, a deluxe 2-CD set of The Egyptian, and a thrilling concert in Tenerife at Fimucité 5. But now it is time for the grand finale of our 2011 Bernard Herrmann salute. And it’s a whopper! We conclude our Bernard Herrmann centenary celebration with the most important chronicle of Bernard Herrmann’s music that has ever been assembled ... Bernard Herrmann at 20th Century Fox.
Eighteen scores, representing an 18-year relationship with 20th Century Fox are all included here, and each one of them sounds better than they ever have before!
Four scores are making their premiere appearance. Never before have Herrmann’s original recordings of The Snows of Kilimanjaro, White Witch Doctor, 5 Fingers or Hangover Square appeared on CD. But the premieres contained herein by no means stop with these four.
The collection opens with one of the most significant of all restorations. Jane Eyre appears in its entirety for the very first time, nearly doubling its previous length. Along with the significantly improved sound, the expansion makes this presentation a revelation in every way.
Anna and the King of Siam was already premiered in its entirety back in 2000, but has been remastered for inclusion here.
One of the most beloved Herrmann scores of all, The Ghost and Mrs. Muir, here receives its definitive presentation, featuring additional material, together with stunning new sound.
The bonus tracks for the landmark The Day the Earth Stood Still feature a particularly fascinating track allowing us to eavesdrop into the original recording session.
Discs five and six, featuring the premieres of 5 Fingers, Hangover Square (famous for its brilliant Concerto Macabre) and The Snows of Kilimanjaro are historic in their importance.
An expanded A Hatful of Rain shares disc seven with the world premiere release of White Witch Doctor, a score principally known (and much loved) thanks to its inclusion (in suite form) on the Gerhardt RCA album.
Beneath the 12-Mile Reef features improved sound but no new material.
The Egyptian was expanded for our Deluxe Edition earlier this year but disc nine here isolates just the Herrmann music from the famous score co composed with Alfred Newman.
Garden of Evil has here been significantly expanded, adding some 15 new cues to what has been released previously.
Until now, King of the Khyber Rifles has been represented by only six cues on an earlier compilation. Presenting the entire score for the first time is a significant find.
While Blue Denim’s previous release was already complete, Prince of Players is another score that is, essentially, a premiere here (and a major one at that) as only seven of the score’s 29 cues have been released previously.
The Man in the Gray Flannel Suit expands from the eight cuts available previously to 21 here.
Our earlier release of Journey to the Center of the Earth was already pretty comprehensive, but we did add a few cues before remastering. The score is both a musical and sonic showpiece.
Eight cues have been added to Tender Is the Night, along with a few bonus cues.
All of this accumulates to a veritable mountain of Herrmann!
This boxed set includes:
- seven double CD slim line jewel boxes
- a 108 page full-color, hardcover book featuring:
an introduction by Robert Townson
extensive notes on all of the films and scores by Julie Kirgo and Bernard Herrmann biographer, Steven C. Smith
a huge selection of film stills
rare recording session photos and a historic selection of photographs of Bernard Herrmann himself!
Easily ranking among the most historic film music releases ever assembled, Bernard Herrmann's body of work produced for 20th Century Fox is a priceless film music archive, all assembled in one place for the very first time.
Our special pricing for this set places a $19.98 value on the book and just $10.00 per score! Don't miss it!
Limited Edition of 1000 copies
Price: $199.98
Catalog #: VCL 1211 1128

I guess this is how I will be introduced to Herrmann's work on disc.

Ordered!

I just bought it. I cannot wait until the end of December. I suspect this will go fast, too.

Very nice set!
Although in this case I'm not going to partake as I have most of the material already.
Enjoy, those who do.
Cheers

Compared to the "Jerry Goldsmith at 20th Century Fox" set, this release is a bargain.
Goldsmith: 6 CDs for $125 ($20.83 / disc)
Herrmann: 14 CDs for $200 ($14.29 / disc)

I agree, and at only 1,000 units, this will definitely become an enormously important collectible for all film music fans alike.

Although I'd have preferred a single OBSESSION or a box of Herrmann at Universal, I have ordered this new Fox set. I had budgeted 200 dollars for this release in case it was something I wanted, so it's a good fit for me.
With the limit of 1,000 copies being pressed, I gather that Varese realized that many potential buyers would feel that they already have many of these scores.
But many are remastered and extended.

Sorry to see that the product info fails to mention that I did a complete ground-up new restoration, mix & assembly on The Day the Earth Stood Still.

Remastered and extended, this seems to be the two MAGIC words of late, sorry, but I have most of this material.I am really against double dipping and even triple dipping. Would rather spend my money on scores I dont have. Just because it is a low pressing. is not an excuse to buy! For the people who dont have any of these scores,then this is a great buy.

Wow, Nick Redman & his team have been busy over at Fox. A 29 track White Witch Doctor (& in stereo), a 24 track King Of The Khyber Rifles (only 6 tracks on the last release). Varese have a winner here, I have to pass, but I think it will sell out before too long, & then hopfully some of these discs will have individual releases.
All the flailing, when Hainshisway marked our card about this one early on!

Bernard Herrmann is one of the most iconic, important composers of all time, and yes some of this has been released before, but to Varese's credit, they tell us this wide openly. This is a celebratory release - a moment to relive the power of a film music titan who has had a major influence on so many composers. I cannot wait to flip the pages of that 108-page hardcover book and see those rare photos of Benny, while finally hearing The Snows of Kilimanjaro. Life is good with great music.
