INTRADA Announces: THE BIG GAMBLE Composed by MAURICE JARRE TREASURE OF THE GOLDEN CONDOR Composed by Sol Kaplan INTRADA Special Collection Volume 67 Fasten your seatbelts and keep your hands inside the car at all times -- Intrada unleashes upon the unsuspecting soundtrack world two colorful action adventure scores from the 20th Century Fox 1950s and 1960s archive. The first features multi-Oscar winning composer Maurice Jarre's score to The Big Gamble (1961). Stephen Boyd stars as an Irishman who sets out to start a trucking company in Africa's Ivory Coast, only to find that everything that can go wrong, does go wrong. Coming just a year before his Oscar-winning score to Lawrence of Arabia, The Big Gamble almost seems like a trial run for that sweeping epic and features flowing exotica conveyed through escalating, full-throated string passages backed by vibrant brass and percussion. Everything big, bold, and larger-than life from Maurice Jarre is heard here in this early work. Going back earlier in time finds the second feature (from 1953), Sol Kaplan's score to Treasure of the Golden Condor. Cornel Wilde stars as a French aristocrat, cheated out of his inheritance and looking to refurbish his fortunes by searching for buried treasure in the jungles of Central America. Kaplan ignites his score with a prelude of sterling ferocity, the film's main theme layered with assertive and exciting percussion. It launches a score replete with moments of high adventure, romance, thrills, and exoticness, backed by lush string passages and driving percussion. This Intrada release is the premiere for both scores. The Big Gamble is featured here from the original stereo elements. Treasure of the Golden Condor is presented from original mono elements. Both lend to a dynamite, adventure filled listen you won't want to miss. And limited to only 1200 units! INTRADA Special Collection - Volume 67 Retail Price: $19.99 IN STOCK NOW For track listing and sound samples, please visit http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.5814/.f Also Released by INTRADA in 2008: |

In a certain way it was also LA TETE CONTRE LE MURS that placed him on the map. I admit I never heard of THE BIG GAMBLE until now but am personally very excited of seeing any new Jarre, especially from this era ! |
