I am very pleased to announce the latest BYU/Screen Archives/CR Studios production. It is Max Steiner's magnificent score for the Walt Disney Studios feature THOSE CALLOWAYS.
Produced by Walt Disney in 1965, THOSE CALLOWAYS is one of the producer’s least-known live-action features and is also one of his most intriguing. Remarkably adult in both its writing and presentation, THOSE CALLOWAYS was an early cinematic look at conservation themes. It was also the last film released sporting a Max Steiner score (his final composition, TWO ON A GUILLOTINE, made it into theaters just weeks prior). Steiner’s score is lyrical and majestic, with many moments of humor, tenderness and danger. It is orchestrated by Max’s longtime colleague Murray Cutter and brilliantly performed by the Walt Disney orchestra under Steiner’s baton.
This CD presents the complete score as composed by Steiner, and the songs composed by Richard M. and Robert B. Sherman. It also presents, for the first time, the original cast performance of “Rhyme Around”, featuring Paul Hartman, Ed Wynn, Brian Keith and Walter Brennan. The score is presented in full stereo, mastered from the three-track magnetic recording sessions preserved by Disney Studios. In addition, we offer a demo recording of Max Steiner’s song “Angel”, preserved on acetate in the Steiner Collection at Brigham Young University. The album includes a 32 page book with notes by James V. D'Arc and a special introduction by Leonard Maltin.. Disc mastering by Yours Truly. Package design by the Great Jim Titus.
A Brigham Young University Film Music Archive Production. All proceeds from this limited edition compact disc go towards the acquisition, preservation of film music elements and public future releases.

Thanks, Ray. I'm sold! (While you were writing the above, I was adding the list of cues.) Appreciate the attention you devote to this.

Thank you so much for this release. I had missed the Intrada which now fetches a pretty price with third party sellers.
An immediate, excited order!

I've been listening a few times to my new BYU/SAE version that arrived yesterday.
For those (like me) who already have the earlier Intrada version, there is a clear difference in sound quality. The BYU/SAE has a more liquid, smoother sound. This is noticeable throughout, but especially in the brass passages. The Intrada is presented at higher levels and is grainier in comparison. Of course, the Intrada has also received plenty of praise for its sound, so I'm talking of a particularly high level of quality from the BYU/SAE.
I prefer the sound of the latest version. Only slight negative is a little dropout in track 1 (around 1'32") that wouldn't be an issue worth reporting if it wasn't for the fact it's absent on the Intrada.
The graphic presentation is outstanding, and is well up to the usual visual standards of this label (even if the proof-reader passed some typos here and there (cam's instead of Cam's and form instead of from, for example).
For me, the new BYU/SAE is definitely the more natural and "lovelier" presentation, making it the version I'd recommend.
