Shock Treatment and Fate Is The Hunter by Jerry Goldsmith (New Intrada CD March 18 2013)

[Jay 46,242]

INTRADA

Announces:

SHOCK TREATMENT/FATE IS THE HUNTER

Composed and Conducted by JERRY GOLDSMITH

INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 237

For Shock Treatment, where an actor is hired to commit himself to a gruesome insane asylum in an attempt to discover where another inmate secreted a fortune, producer Aaron Rosenberg encouraged Jerry Goldsmith to go wild. And wild he went, using techniques that would later be drawn on for his groundbreaking score for Planet of the Apes. In Shock Treatment Goldsmith used the esoteric instrumentation that would mark so many of his later scores, but he also experimented with recording effects of a kind that few other composers of this era would have dared to attempt, including the speeding up and/or reversing piano phrases.

Fate Is the Hunter, on the other hand, provides another musical terrain entirely. This is Jerry Goldsmith in classic symphonic mode, supporting a far more traditional film. The composer’s contribution here is spare: less than 30 minutes of music, mostly consisting of variations the main title. This is one of Goldsmith’s loveliest themes: searching and magical. “Moon Fish” and “Forest Scene” are two cues that move the audience from the difficult present to the idealized past via a single character. Such is the genius of Jerry Goldsmith on display, early in his career. Brief, but impactful.

This release offers music that, a mere decade ago, would have been impossible to present on CD. Thanks to new technology, restoration specialist Mike Matessino, producer Nick Redman, and executive producer Douglass Fake have been able to offer this extraordinary disc in stereo for the first time, re-syncing and conforming each individual track to bring us the premiere release of these scores in expanded format.

SHOCK TREATMENT / FATE IS THE HUNTER

Label: Intrada Special Collection Volume 237

Date: 1964

Tracks: 30

Time = 55:03

World premiere of two full Jerry Goldsmith soundtracks in stereo! New elements & technology allow presentation of 20th Century Fox's SHOCK TREATMENT & FATE IS THE HUNTER to play both expanded and with audio previously not possible. First score accompanies Aaron Rosenberg production starring Stuart Whitman, Roddy McDowall, Lauren Bacall. Shocker from 1964 finds Goldsmith writing eerie, suspenseful music for strings, harp, twin pianos, percussion, experimental electronics, more! Intense ideas showcase composer's gift for unique orchestrational effects. "Shock Treatment Main Title" is one such chilling piece. Dynamic "Nelson's Escape" sets exciting trend for still-to-come PLANET OF THE APES. Sensational, scary music! Second up is soundtrack for Aaron Rosenberg's production of FATE IS THE HUNTER, starring Glenn Ford, Rod Taylor, Nancy Kwan, Suzanne Pleshette. Here, Goldsmith anchors with gorgeous major-key solo trumpet theme, joined soon by orchestra with chorus. Rich melody one of composer's absolute finest! Cues that follow provide haunting variants of melody, now for gentle unison violins with vibraphone, now for woodwind solo with bell tree. One of Goldsmith's gentlest cues, "Moon Fish", looks forward to classic A PATCH OF BLUE with haunting harp/vibraphone arpeggios balanced by transparent strings. Keen ears will even note melodic slant of later THE BLUE MAX during opening of gorgeous "Forest Scene". When finished, composer ushers return of trumpet theme to bring score to sublime finish. All beautiful, all in stereo! Jerry Goldsmith, Lionel Newman co-conduct. Intrada Special Collection release available while quantities and interest remain!

The Goldsmith box is rapidly losing value.

The Goldsmith box is rapidly losing value.

You should have counted on that most of the scores from that set would get released on their own and in complete (or as best as it can be) form.

[crocodile 9,724]

Yeah, but I don't think it was that obvious back then.

Can't wait to listen to this.

I'm hoping for it.

No wai

Where is the Goldsmith at 20th re-release of this?

[Stark 1,023]

Whatever happened to that series anyway? They made 5 volumes in quick succession and… no more.

[Jay 46,242]

20th Century hasn't licensed music to any specialty label since 2022

I was really hoping there would be one, as I discussed with Mike Matessino himself during our podcast conversation on the amazing fifth volume:

https://goldsmithodyssey.buzzsprout.com/159614/11302249-odyssey-soundtrack-spotlight-goldsmith-at-20th-vol-v-music-for-television-1968-1975

 

At the time he seemed optimistic that it wouldn't necessarily be the final volume. He's a huge fan of Shock Treatment too and painstakingly restored the score with all the proper sweeteners (piano notes played backwards) for the 2013 Intrada release. We talked about the still missing music -- one really excellent cue, at least, which I'd even be happy to have in damaged form if it can't be fully restored with new tech.

 

Alas, as Jay pointed out, it seems like LLL hasn't been able to re-establish a relationship with 20th under their new Disney ownership. (The deals for these Goldsmith releases were made years before when the Disney/Fox merger had not been completed yet.) So even though they had promised more forthcoming volumes even in their official Vol. V announcement, it doesn't seem too likely at this point.

 

Maybe Intrada could reissue it through their active Disney relationship.

Any idea whether we'll get to hear his score from the telly flick Lights Out? Its notorious reputation as a lost film precedes it.

[Brundlefly 2,402]

I hate Disney for buying anything and everything and when it comes to well made expansions they block everyone with ambition and want to do it themselves and if they actually get to it they make it lazily and poorly.
