Some Kaplan's cues are really good for me, but Harline's work is wonderfully pleasant to listen. Thanks and congrats to 50's fans.

INTRADA Announces: THE HOUSE ON TELEGRAPH HILL Composed by SOL KAPLAN 10 NORTH FREDERICK Composed by LEIGH HARLINE INTRADA Special Collection Volume 176 20th Century Fox's The House On Telegraph Hill (1951) is a woman-in-jeopardy tale that begins deep in noir territory, offering a protagonist telling her own story in flashback and almost immediately confessing to the sin that sets the plot gears grinding: she has stolen the identity of a dead woman. Sol Kaplan's score features echoes of Miklos Rozsa (a virtuoso of noir tension) and Herrmann (a virtuoso of tension period) and that's no accident: Kaplan is working firmly in a tradition of which these two were the masters. For all its dazzling versatility what particularly distinguishes Sol Kaplan’s music is its fine-tuned strangeness—its tone of taut yet almost other-worldly eeriness. Leigh Harline’s score for Ten North Frederick hints at something possibly worse: knowing that everything has already happened, and there’s nothing that can be done to change it. He cleverly begins with a cue that might, at first listen, seem like the opener for a Disney film: a genial piece of modern Americana. But then during the last few bars of the cue, a subtle modulation to minor chording suggests that all is not right. The lonely yearning of the main character becomes the central inspiration for this brief but almost inexpressibly poignant score. Ten North Frederick (1958 is a melodrama focusing on the tragic private life of an ambitious politician -- more bitter than sweet, a startlingly resigned story about a middle-aged man (Gary Cooper) whose half-hearted attempts to run for lieutenant governor are dashed by a series of domestic problems that eventually find him hitting the bottle. This release is limited to 1000 units.

The Kaplan score sounds dark and angry (just the way I like it), but I have to say that the Harline just sounds sublime. I'm looking forward to getting this. Thank you! |

Was The House on Telegraph Hill mastered from a lossy source? I'm getting a large dip in the frequency response. Just curious Thanks |

House On Telegraph Hill is one of my favorite releases in Intrada's series of Fox scores so far (and I have all the CDs!  ). Sol Kaplan was a real master. This score must have impressed the Fox music department very much. Parts of it remind me of the new score written for the Lost in Space episode "The Derelict".
