Looking for a list of "Classic Film Scores" series

[robthehand 3]

I'm trying (with some financial difficulty) to collect as many as I can of the Gerhardt Classic Film Scores series released on RCA.

I know of:

- Now Voyager: Max Steiner's Classic Film Scores

- Captain from Castile: Alfred Newman's Classic Film Scores

- Casablanca: Classic Film Scores for Humphrey Bogart

- Gone With The Wind: Max Steiner's Classic Film Score

- Citizen Kane: Bernard Herrmann's Classic Film Scores

- Classic Film Scores for Bette Davis

- Elizabeth & Essex: Erich Wolfgang Korngold's Classic Film Scores

- Spellbound: Miklos Rosza's Classic Film Scores

- Lost Horizon: Dimitri Tiomkin's Classic Film Scores

As well as the three Star Wars albums and the "Spectacular World..." disc.

I know this list isn't complete, and I'd appreciate it if someone could help me fill in the blanks. Thanks!

I've stopped trying to collect them all and instead try to have the money ready when a remastered release of the entire series comes out someday.

Add to your list:

Captain Blood - Classic Film Scores for Errol Flynn

The Seahawk - Classic Film Scores of Erich Wolfgang Korngold

Sunset Boulevard - The Classic Film Scores of Franz Waxman

Kings Row (Korngold)

ttbk, who only has five of these so far...

I acquired the Kings Row CD a while ago for about $15 after hunting it on eBay for about a year...

*Really* worth it.

I did the same for Now Voyager (I really wanted the Big Sleep suite on it), hunted on eBay for more than a year and got it under 10 dollars. Doesn't pop up often.

Thanks for the help! These things, in my experience, do pop up often, just it's not often you can find them cheap, or even affordable.

Shameless plug!

Have a listen! 4 Part Radio series dedicated to Charles Gerhardt!

BTW, you can easily find some of Gerhardt's releases - used - at Amazon.com.

Also, don't forget about the fabulous Lee Holdridge CD - East of Eden: Charles Gerhardt conducts Lee Holdridge

and the Gerhardt produced Laura/The Bad & The Beautiful/Forever Amber which was conducted by David Raksin.

And don't forget about one of Gerhardt's earliest film score albums, Hollywood Screen Classics

Finally, my all time favorite Gerhardt album, Sunset Boulevard: The Classic Film Scores of Franz Waxman - The Prince Valiant suite is absolutely brilliant!

Wow, thanks! My wallet is now screaming even more.

What are the Readers Digest albums, if you know?

I've stopped trying to collect them all and instead try to have the money ready when a remastered release of the entire series comes out someday.

That might be a reason for me to buy them.
