Intrada Soundtrack Forum

Thus far, what are your top five favorite Kritzerland releases?

I'm very interested to hear the Intrada gang's lists, but I'll play (to save me time I'll have to do ten, in no particular order):

Taras Bulba (because they made the sound of this flawed, flawed recording much more acceptable)

Love with a Proper Stranger / A Girl Named Tamiko (two Bernstein premieres; how could I not include this?)

Fear Strikes Out / The Tin Star (ditto, and was especially surprised at how great Fear Strikes Out was)

One Eyed Jacks (I think we were all surprised that the complete score actually survived!)

The Counterfeit Traitor (AWESOME late Alfred Newman score; can't believe it hasn't sold out!)

Drango (just the LP program but a CD premiere of such a great early Bernstein must be acknowledged)

The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (AMAZED at how great this Rozsa score sounds, and that it survived at all!)

The Rains of Ranchipur / Seven Cities / Blue Angel (AWESOME Friedhofer three-fer for the price of one; can't believe it hasn't sold out when the inferior Varese release at the same quantity and price went so fast, with half the music!)

David and Bathsheba (great to have the complete score for this Newman masterpiece sounding so wonderful)

Rio Conchos (I've appreciated all their Goldsmith releases but I love this score in particular and Mike Mattessino worked a miracle with the sound quality compared with the old FSM)

Yavar

Okay, I think I have my list complete. After debating over 16 choices or so I came up with following: (In no particular order)

One-Eyed Jacks
Genghis Khan
Rat Race
The Molly Maguires
The Geisha Boy

Almost making it - God's Little Acre, Too Late Blues, The Day the Earth Stood Still, Taras Bulba, Breaking Away

I'll throw in a quick ten as well since the label has released a lot of great product.

Carrie (Pino Donaggio)
Twisted Nerve/The Bride Wore Black (Bernard Herrmann)
Busting (Billy Goldenberg)
Cops and Robbers (Michel Legrand)
Dead of Winter (Richard Einhorn)
Falling in Love (Dave Grusin)
Cross of Iron/Good Luck, Miss Wyckoff (Ernest Gold)
Two for the Seesaw (André Previn)
Thelma & Louise (Hans Zimmer)
Inspector Clouseau (Ken Thorne)

The ones that spring to mind for me are...

CARRIE (Donaggio - expanded)
AUDREY ROSE (M Small)
MOLLY MAGUIRES (Mancini/Strouse)
GOD'S LITTLE ACRE (Elmer B)
3 SCORES (Stu Phillips)
BUSTING (B Goldenberg)
BUTCH & SUNDANCE (P Williams)

I found it hard to leave off many titles, particularly Thorne's Inspector Clouseau which I really enjoyed just recently as part of my listening to all the Pink Panther scores recently issued by our beloved specialty labels:

While I'd certainly buy a complete release of the score, it's a fantastic album as-is and Kritzerland's sound quality is STUNNING!

Yavar

Inspector Clouseau
Girl named Tamiko
Legend of the lost
Marco Polo
My Geisha
But my number one goes to... Sabrina

Dave Grusin's HEAVEN CAN WAIT.

Short score, for many perhaps but a trifle, to me, it was a grail.

Lady In A Cage

Won Ton Ton; The Dog Who Saved Hollywood

Cops And Robbers

Think of the other two later.

Drango (Elmer Bernstein)
Thelma and Louise (Hans Zimmer)
Two for the Seesaw (André Previn)
Taras Bulba (Franz Waxman)
Bananas (Marvin Hamlisch)/Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex* *but were afraid to ask (Mundell Lowe)
