INTRADA Announces:
MR. ATLAS
Composed and Conducted by Terry Plumeri
INTRADA Signature Edition ISE 1040
The 1997 film Mr. Atlas is the story of young Danny Nielsen (T.J. Lowther), still broken from the untimely death of his parents, who goes for a bike ride in the hills one day and unwittingly falls into a magical cave. Unable to find his way out, he begins to cry. When Danny’s tears touch the wall of the cave, an ancient curse is broken—a curse which has imprisoned the Greek Titan Atlas (Diederik van Nederveen) in stone for 2000 years. After an earth-shattering entrance, Atlas pledges his absolute devotion to Danny and the two become inseparable friends.
Mr. Atlas provided a broad range of character elements with which composer Terry Plumeri could work. In addition to the world of a young boy, there was fantasy, acts of the superhero, friendship, love, tongue-in-cheek comedy, deviousness and serious drama -- which almost ends in tragedy. The simplistic world of the child asked for a less-sophisticated harmonic and melodic vocabulary, whereas the super-heroic acts of Atlas required a more majestic orchestration, as well as a vocabulary which conveyed an increase in harmonic and melodic intensity. The dynamic music was thrillingly performed by the Moscow Philharmonic.
