Intrada Soundtrack Forum

We invite you to take advantage of the nice sale prices attached to a number of our releases, specially discounted from now through October 2, 2022. We don’t run sales like this often. Hopefully you will find some titles of interest, priced to own.

As happens from time to time, we are in a holding pattern on final packaging approvals for several new releases all ready for manufacturing… with some really cool ones in the bunch, too! We’re also amidst some major new upgrades and additions to the Intrada studio while we wait, with quite a few new curves to learn. Fun!

William Stromberg and Anna Bonn are finalizing the complete scores and parts for the two upcoming Bernard Herrmann recordings we are readying. The Man Who Knew Too Much and On Dangerous Ground are the two masterpieces on the docket. The Royal Scottish National Orchestra is again our performing group of choice. Setting the actual session dates has taken a bit longer than what we have encountered in the past for a couple of reasons, one being the growing popularity of the musicians and their magnificent hall. We like to think Intrada has been a factor in their increased profile, even if just in a minuscule way. The other reason is our musician requirements are significantly larger than our previous sessions, with the addition of a larger brass section than we typically utilize. Six trombones, six trumpets, eight French horns, two tubas… and a sizable string and percussion section to balance with all those horn players… as well as a key soloist on the viola d’amore parts for On Dangerous Ground. We're even planning on recording Nathan Van Cleave's fabulous VistaVision logo that appears in front of The Man Who Knew Too Much and so many other Paramount films from the era. Yep. It’s all going to be impressive for sure.
