There is always a dash line under the name that he does. P.S. mine came directly from his agency a decade sgo.

When it pours... ...then it's Quartet and LLL!!

Here they are...

Yet another terrific podcast from the TLOJW team and nice having John Takis on board discussing this fantastic new release. So much incredible behind the scenes information that fans should revel and I loved the nugget HOOK preview in the end.

I'd love a proper studio recording of these.!! In retrospect, I feel Williams penchant for securing more versions of his themes in this format ie violin and orchestra is something very important. After having successfully established film music in the concert hall as well as live to film format It now seems to me he has now entering a new movement of bringing a more sophisticated sound to the concert hall so as to have a more prominent binding position of film music influence. Once a highly snubbed genre is now a thriving platform in the classical arena. So kudos to Williams in helping this grand achievement.

I use it and number of other apps like 17Track and Parcels. They are pretty OK and correct. But once inland I use the local postwebsite. So far mine has departed the US. but still looking...

It would be awesome if this was issued as a cd or blu ray. The two new pieces premiered are incredibly good! I want them.

Was it Air Lyndhurst in London??

Lets have the first impressions...

Both JURASSIC PARK and HOOK are the defining moments of the 1990s top Williams scores! of course there is SCHINDLERS LIST and FAR AND AWAY also.!!

So nothing coming on DG from this concert? Oh wait.. what about the Japan tour? I just remembered that!

Ordered!

The 4 new JANE EYRE Cues are worth it!!!! I guess we will have to wait for Mike Matessino to do the podcast to disucss both HOOK and these !!

Quartet Announces: http://quartetrecords.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/BLOODLINE-1.jpg BLOODLINE (2-CD) Expanded Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Music Composed and Conducted by Ennio Morricone Produced and Mastered by Chris Malone Liner notes by John Takis Limited edition of 1500 units Release date: 12/12/2023 Quartet Records and Paramount Pictures present an expanded and remastered 2-CD edition of 1979 Ennio Morricone’s classy thriller-drama score for Terence Young’s BLOODLINE. Based on a best-selling novel by Sidney Sheldon, BLOODLINE mixes bizarre stories of family inheritance, control over a failing international pharmaceutical company, family business, betrayal, infidelity, murder and snuff movies! It features a cast of international stars including Audrey Hepburn, Ben Gazzara, James Mason, Romy Schneider, Omar Sharif, Irene Papas, Maurice Ronet and Gert Fröbe. Ennio Morricone was no stranger to Terence Young (with whom he had previously worked on L'AVVENTURIERO) and the studio, having just received his first Academy-Award nomination for DAYS OF HEAVEN. Morricone offers one of his best efforts for a Hollywood film, with an unforgettable love theme performed by Edda Dell’Orso, tension cues, dramatic and violent music. The score is mainly dark and fatalistic, in a style that the Italian maestro would continue in other Hollywood adventures such as THE THING, STATE OF GRACE and BUGSY A 47-minute soundtrack album of BLOODLINE was released in 1980 by Varèse Sarabande. The same program was later reissued in their limited CD Club in 2012. Unfortunately, the film suffered several changes in the final cut, which moved some cues from their original places and omitted several important passages. Disc 1 includes the score as it was conceived by Morricone with music never heard before, plus some delightful source pieces for party and casino sequences that appear here for the first time. Disc 2 includes the newly remixed original soundtrack album as well as numerous alternate versions and extras. The entire collection has been mixed and mastered by Chris Malone from the 16-track masters preserved in mint condition and courtesy of Paramount Pictures. The package includes a 16-page booklet with in-depth liner notes by film music writer John Takis. Tracklist Disc 1. The Film Score 1. Main Title – Part I (Love Theme From Bloodline) 2:31 2.

http://quartetrecords.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/VENOM1.jpg Quartet Announces: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack VENOM Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Music Composed and Conducted by Michael Kamen Produced and Mastered by Chris Malone Liner notes by Jeff Bond Limited edition of 1000 units Release date: 12/12/2023 Quartet Records, in collaboration with Aribage Limited and the Michael Kamen estate, is proud to present the premiere release of the early Michael Kamen (BRAZIL, LETHAL WEAPON, DIE HARD, LICENCE TO KILL) score for 1982 British thriller VENOM. Directed by Piers Haggard and based on the novel by Alan Scholfield, starring Sterling Hayden, Klaus Kinski, Sarah Miles, Nicol Williamson, Susan George and Oliver Reed, VENOM tells the story of a group of international terrorists who attempt to kidnap a wealthy couple’s child. Their plan comes unstuck when a deadly Black Mamba escapes with the terrorists and several hostages trapped in the boy's London home. A tense evening is had by all as the snake creeps around the house, picking off the characters one by one. The young Michael Kamen composed a tremendous score, one of his best and an obvious precursor to some of his future successes. In VENOM, one can hear everything from a variation of his future and celebrated theme for THE DEAD ZONE to echoes of what would later be the CONCERTO FOR SAXOPHONE AND ORCHESTRA (as well as parts he later used in ROBIN HOOD and DIE HARD 2). Kamen wisely avoided mimicry, instead imprinting the film with his distinctive voice. Using low woodwinds, low strings and muted brass, he masterfully crafted an atmospheric and personality-rich soundtrack. VENOM is a pivotal score in the composer’s filmography, not only suitably serves the film, but also foreshadows Kamen’s rapid ascent to the ranks of Hollywood’s A-list composers in the years ahead. Performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of the composer (who also orchestrated the score in its entirety), this release utilizes three reels of two-track Abbey Road mixes by Eric Tomlison and provided by the Michael Kamen estate. Upon reviewing these masters, it became apparent that editorial adjustments had been made to Kamen’s original compositions for the film. Notably, the “End Titles” music, intended as an unsettling coda, was repurposed within the body of the film. In presenting this release, we restore Michael Kamen’s music to its intended sequencing, allowing the composer to present his story arc. Bonus tracks, including “snake” motifs and drones, conclude the listening program. This album has been meticulously produced, restored and mastered by Chris Malone. The package includes a 20-page booklet with in-depth liner notes by film music writer Jeff Bond. Tracklist: 1. Main Titles 2:52 2. Seduction 1:05 3. Mugambo 1:44 4. Picking Up Jacmel / Drive To Jacmel House 3:08 5. Boy In Car / First Kill 6:06 6. One Dead Maid 2:49 7. Praparate / Waiting 0:57 8. One Dead Rabbit 0:49 9. Grandfather Hunt 3:25 10.

http://quartetrecords.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/SEANCE-ON-A-WET-AFTERNOON.jpg http://quartetrecords.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/KATHARINE-HEPBURN.jpg WORLD PREMIERE RECORDING OF THE FILM SCORE SÉANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON / MUSIC FOR KATHARINE HEPBURN (2-CD) Music Composed by John Barry Performed by Orquesta de Córdoba Conducted by Fernando Velázquez Score Reconstruction: Leigh Phillips Release date: 12/12/2023 Quartet Records is proud to present a brand-new recording conducted by Fernando Velázquez of another film score that is either lost or inaccessible – in this case no fewer than five films scores by John Barry: a suspense classic from the '60s, a film adaptation of a classic play, and three television movies starring Katharine Hepburn. John Barry would have turned 90 on November 3, 2023. The unforgettable music of this five-time Oscar winner continues to be celebrated around the world, and indeed the impact of his innovative scores for dozens of movies from the 1960s through the '90s continues to reverberate to this day. Disc 1 includes the complete score of SÉANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON (1964), a major work previously missing from the composer’s discography. It was one of his masterpieces for Bryan Forbes that, unfortunately, remained unreleased due to the absence of master tapes. Orchestrated for a small ensemble featuring vibrant percussion and woodwinds, it's a mysterious, suggestive, unsettling score, reaching its culmination in the long rescue sequence. As a bonus, we have included another rarity that deserves to be rescued. A DOLL'S HOUSE (1973) was one of Barry’s briefest scores: a single, sad melody for celeste, harp, harpsichord and piano, repeated three times during the film's length. Disc 2 is devoted to three lovely telefilms: a trilogy of period play adaptations starring Katharine Hepburn. LOVE AMONG THE RUINS and THE CORN IS GREEN, both directed by George Cukor in 1975 and 1979, respectively, contain memorable main and love themes, brilliantly orchestrated. The two scores are stylistically similar, featuring strings, woodwinds, piano and harpsichord. THE GLASS MENAGERIE, adapted from Tennessee Williams’ famous play and directed by Anthony Harvey (with whom Barry had previously worked on THE LION IN WINTER) was written for solo piano, performed by the composer himself, who always claimed to be a not-very-good pianist, but it was precisely this innocence and imprecision that Harvey was looking for. For our recording, celebrated pianist Silvia Mkrtchian has approximated the spirit of the original Barry recording. If there is one thing that the five scores presented here have in common, it's John Barry's great ability to work with small, almost chamber-like ensembles, seeking the specific sound of each story without being an intrusive voice, always with a British personality of reserve and deftness. Leigh Phillips has painstakingly reconstructed and orchestrated all five scores. They are performed by the prestigious Orquesta de Córdoba conducted by Fernando Velázquez. Recorded and mixed by Marc Blanes, the audio has been meticulously mastered by Chris Malone in the spirit of Barry's original recordings. Elegant design by Nacho B. Govantes with cover art designed by Jim Titus graces a 28-page booklet with an in-depth essay by film music journalist and writer (and major Barry connoisseur) Jon Burlingame. Tracklist: DISC 1.

Quartet Announces: ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACKS HEIDI / JANE EYRE (2-CD) Revised, Remastered and Slightly Expanded Scores Music Composed and Conducted by John Williams Produced, Restored and Mastered by Mike Matessino Liner notes by John Takis Limited edition of 2500 units Release date: 12/12/2023 Quartet Records, in collaboration with Capitol Records and Universal Music Entertainment, present a 2-CD set with a revised, remastered, slightly expanded edition of scores for two landmark made-for-television films composed by John Williams (STAR WARS, E.T., JURASSIC PARK, HOOK) between 1968 and 1970. Both of these adaptations of classic stories were presented by Omnibus Productions and directed by Delbert Mann, and both also earned Emmy® Awards for John Williams’ original music. Through these scores, the composer shaped the destinies of two classic literary characters as well as his own. Every effort was made to locate surviving audio elements for both HEIDI and JANE EYRE. The discovery of the original ½″ four-track masters from HEIDI containing all of the cues selected for the 1968 narrated story album facilitated an attentive new mix of the music and a presentation in narrative order. The narration record was newly transferred by Universal Music Group and is presented after the musical score. For JANE EYRE, a new high-resolution transfer of the 1971 ¼″ stereo album master was provided by Universal Music Group, with audio then fully restored. This is followed by four tracks of additional material, including a short segment of source music that is heard in the film but was not on the album. The other three tracks are alternate performances of three selections recorded for the album, “To Thornfield,” “Restoration” and the “Love Theme.” This material was sourced from two ½″ 3-track tapes that were discovered at Twentieth Century Fox in early 2019. While no additional score cues could be located, the recovery of any new material from this enduring and highly regarded John Williams work is most welcome. The entire collection has been painstakingly remixed, restored, assembled and mastered by Mike Matessino, preserving all the freshness of the original recording. The package includes a 28-page full-color booklet with in-depth liner notes by film music writer John Takis and classy art direction by Jim Titus. Tracklist Disc 1.
