Those who appreciate Elmer Bernstein’s singular talents are in for a treat this week with Tuesday’s first ever release of the charming and dramatic score he wrote for The Amazing Mr. Blunden. The 1972 film, directed by famous British character actor Lionel Jeffries, involves an old cottage, new caretakers, two children who meet ghosts of yet another pair of children from 100 years earlier, murder and a terrible fire, all of which are terrific inspiration for Bernstein to fashion music anchored in charming simplicity and surrounded with vivid orchestral dramatics. This is an amazing one! Listen to samples and peruse the artwork and contents this coming Monday evening. Orders begin shipping on Tuesday.
