Now matter how archival the sound quality might be, this is still a must-have.

"Archival" and "archive quality" are preservationist terms which mean excellent quality. Something from an "archive" like the typical university or private collection with poor quality copies, is not "archival." It's just ancient.

Did Wax use an Index Montenot?

As a kid watching Universal's first classic Flash Gordon serial, it wasn't just the visuals that enthralled me. It definitely was the music also.

That's because they used the.music of Franz Liszt!


Indeed they did ! Les Preludes most notably, but there was other music also. Ming's soldiers marching through tunnels as an example.




Franz Waxman .... Franz Liszt ..... A match made in heaven! smile


What's with all those German composers at Universal?
.hey, that would make a good box set![/

AGREED ! Are you " listening",MV and Mike ?

Salter had known Waxman at Ufa before he came to Universal.

Probably the earliest score by Waxman (not a rerecording) to be put out on C.D..

Austrian Hans J. Salter had worked briefly for Universal's German studio before he came to the U.S. in '38.

And with the years of expertise from Mike Matessino its sure will be an excellent release.

Speaking of whom, you can hear a rare recording of that recluse, infamously known as...

I have my ticket!

That answers that.

Heading for Tarrytown from Ellenville. Hmmm! Beware of the headless horseman.

Was waiting for hh reference. Mistuh Oiving would be proud.

And the Tarrytown event seems quite doable…

Whoa! The oh-you-were-there-too-who-else-would-wear-a-hat-like-that-in-Rockland-County Mr. F and the elusive Swashbuckler at the same event!! A flight up for BOF and another FSContingent sure is mighty tempting. OK guys, where shall we meet for the inevitable post-screening discussion, hmm? My old haunt (AB&G) is over the border about a half hour away. But there is a place that escapes me at this moment and it's closer and in Lafayette Theatre territory. Calling Mr. Apruzzese!

I'll buy a CD of Waxman's classic BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN in ANY sound quality!

Amen. The [aforementioned] Swashbuckler Principle still holds: Performance trumps sound quality.

Definitely, because I’m pretty sure this was his first Hollywood film score and none of his European scores have ever been released even re-recorded, to my knowledge...

Wow! From original elements. You don't see much of that anymore for material this old.

A suite from LILIOM (1934) was included by MovieScore Media on their CD release of CINEMA'S EXILES: FROM HITLER TO HOLLYWOOD. It's billed as a "archival recording" and I believe is from the OST. It's a spellbinding 6+ minutes, sharing tonal similarities with BRIDE.

Who holds the rights to the original Korngold soundtracks these days?

 
 Posted:   Sep 7, 2019 - 10:05 PM   
 By:   Ray Faiola   (Member)

Warners owns the Korngold tracks.

FLASH GORDON CONQUERS THE UNIVERSE (the third serial) features "Les Preludes" and also the re-recordings of the BRIDE cues under the direction of Charles Previn.

I especially love the music in the chapter where they are looking for a mineral to counteract one of Ming's devilish deeds in the frozen wastes of Frigia on Mongo.

If anyone is interested Chapter 3, in fact the entire serial, is available on YouTube.

Hi again, Mr. Marshall!

I'm puzzled by your apparent non sequitor, "No KORGOLD!" Did I miss something?

***

Also, you mention being sufficiently pleased by Gerhardt's "suite," when what Gerhardt recorded from BRIDE was not a suite but one single selection. As I told George Korngold when he, too, expressed satisfasction with it, "You've given us an impressive performance of one aria, but there's still a whole opera crying out to be recorded."

***

As for the Silva CD, I've always been very grateful for its existence. My only quibble was to wonder why they had stuck with brass in the victory procession, ignoring Waxman's switch to strings.
