Ollie 1,059 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Now that FSM 250 has been released and not what quite a few thought it would/ should be, we can now look forward to it's upcomming release from another label. Bruce Kimmel at Kritzerland hinted that it was in the works awhile back and now Doug Fake drops this little tidbit today at Intrada's website. Quote You'll be getting a spectacular presentation of The Ten Commandments before too long, so don't worry. When you hear it all, you'll elevate it from "a fine score" to one of the greatest ever. But in the meantime, definitely enjoy FSM's spectacular release for The Wild Bunch. Another one of the greatest ever. --Doug http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5465 Outside of Dimitri Tiomkin's The High and The Mighty, this may be one of the last true grails of mine, a majestic film that was part of my Easter Sunday for more years than I can remember. Elmer Bernstein's score ranks up along other biblical epics such as Rozsa's Ben Hur, King Of Kings and Newman's The Robe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I read the subject and my heart leapt into my throat, believing it's release was at hand. Grrrr. This is indeed one of my favorite scores of all time, and is certainly my last film score grail to expand. I grew up quoting so much of this film, I need to rewatch it. And it was definitely one of the first movies that I noticed the music was carrying more weight than just covering up the silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,346 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 It must be coming from La-la Land or Quartet if its not FSM, Kritzerland, or Intrada. I'd guess LLL. (I have no inside info or anything) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Brausam 214 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Doug didn't say Intrada isn't releasing it though, did he?But I agree, if not from Intrada then I think it would be LLL. I don't really see Quartet issuing this title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,346 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Doug didn't specifically say they weren't, but I think if his label were releasing it, he would have worded his post differently. I took his choice of words to imply a different label was releasing it.... but I certainly could be wrong! I would also guess the final product is finished and possibly pressed, and they are waiting until closer to Easter to release it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Brausam 214 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I do actually agree on both your points there - Doug seems to usually say outright if Intrada is working on something. And Easter would certainly be the window of opportunity for its release, I can see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTennisBallKid 17 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Yeah, I think he'd be more coy and clue-dropping if it was going to be from Intrada.LLL for Easter sounds right. That's when they released The Robe last year. (which is still getting lots of plays from me)In any case, can't wait for this. And now I can't get that sweeping main theme out of my head.

Jay 37,346 Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Bruce Kimmel is talking about this release again - he says it is NOT Varese releasing it, and strongly hints that it's Intrada. But I thought based on Doug's post (quoted in the first post of this thread) that Intrada was NOT doing it, meaning it would be Quartet. But maybe I just interpreted Doug's words wrong. Elephino. Why is Varese a likely candidate? I don't believe you can name one Paramount catalog title on Varese in the last five years, maybe more. There's only three labels that can pull off such a project: LLLR, Varese, Intrada. This, of course, is utter nonsense. Certainly Kritzerland could have and would have pulled off such a project had it not been gotten by another label. Anyone can pull off such a project if the project is, in fact, available to them and they WANT to pull off such a project. "There's always a first" - I don't think so or you would have seen some Paramount titles from Varese - and you haven't. You can take La La Land out of the equation and you can take us out - that leaves you with the label that's doing The Ten Commandments. I think it's pretty obvious (at least to me - insert smiley face here) who is taking up those kinds of projects - a simple look at recent releases should tell you that. Intrada has a few Golden Age things coming from Paramount, but we have more than a few and I love doing them. In fact, I just heard two scores (which will be on one CD with some other stuff by the same composer) that are utterly charming and never before released. We've got more Young coming, more Waxman coming - we love doing this stuff. I think if Counterpoint were going to be releasing any further stuff, it would have happened by now, but, who knows. The Shadow knows, but he ain't talkin'. What is so hard to understand here??? It's NOT Varese.

JohnnyD 1,223 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Hello, there.Maybe someone can help me out with this. Has there been any news as to the release of the original recordings of Elmer Bersteins' epic biblical score to "The Ten Commandments." Over the years, like with many other biblical epics of the period, the music has since seen releases in which the composer re-recorded selections of the score. However, unlike most biblical epics of the period, Elmer Berstein's original recording of his score to "The Ten Commandments" has not been released yet. If and when it is released, I think I should be done in the same format in which Film Score Monthly released Miklos Rozsa's greatest score, "Ben-Hur."Is there any word as to the release of Elmer Berstein's score to "The Ten Commandments"?Why has this timeless gem not been released in all its glory yet?

Naïve Old Fart 9,515 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 I have recently bought an expanded "The Ten Commandments". It's French, and it says "Le Dix Commandments". It seems to have a lot more music than my other CD, and, given the recording techniques in the 1950s, the sound in pretty clean. And it's in stereo!

Jay 37,346 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 James Fitzpatrick from Tadlow just confirmed that it is indeed Intrada releasing the new set. The Ten Commandments must be close to setting a new "in development" record by now. Yes it must...because 3 years ago I was going to do a new complete recording of THE TEN COMMANDMENTS but was put of doing so by Intrada as they were going to issue "the ultimate" Ten Commandments set. Wish I had gone ahead with the recording now.Still have to to a new recording of BLU MAX sometime as had all the score and pats done and a recording date set when LaLa then announce their edition...And the Herrmann score I will be re-recording in just a few weeks will now also have a re-release just about the same time I wanted to release my recording... a case of bad timing?Looks like record labels are falling over themselves to release as many titles are possible that the whole market is now swamped and depressed which I forecast even before Intrada started on their Ten Commandments quest.... http://filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=106229&forumID=1&archive=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romão 2,274 Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 I think I'd actually prefer a Tadlow re-recording than a release of the original tracks. And I hope he gets around to record The Blue Max eventually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
