Incanus 5,714 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Quartet Records releases: Quote Papillon Jerry Goldsmith PRE-ORDER €16.95 Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music France and the Ecoutez le cinéma! Collection, are glad to present the expanded, definitive release of Jerry Goldsmith’s masterpiece for Franklin J. Schafner’s 1973 prison drama Papillon. The bestselling autobiography of Henri Charrière, one of the few people to successfully escape from the notorious French penal colony of Devil's Island, served as the basis for Papillon. Steve McQueen plays the pugnacious Charrière (known as "Papillon" because of a prominent tattoo), incarcerated—wrongly, he claims—for murdering a pimp. He saves the life of fellow convict Louis Dega (Dustin Hoffman), a counterfeiter who will later show his gratitude by helping Charrière in his many escape attempts, and by smuggling food to Charrière when the latter is put in solitary confinement. Papillon was an expensive French production by Robert Dorfman, with financial support from some American studios. When Schafner entered the project, he wanted to score the film with his favorite composer, Jerry Goldsmith, with whom he had already made three films (including the classics Planet of the Apes and Patton) After Papillon, Goldsmith had the opportunity to compose another three magnificent scores for Schafner (Islands in the Stream, The Boys From Brazil and Lionheart). The sublime Academy Award-nominated score of Papillon is among the best and most celebrated of Goldsmith’s scores, and one of his personal favorites. It features a memorable main theme (a “Montmartre-like tune”), Impressionistic passages à la Debussy, intense and dramatic music, all colorfully orchestrated by Arthur Morton. This new release has been carefully remixed and mastered by Mike Matessino from the recently discovered multi-tracks masters of the complete sessions, recorded in Italy and preserved in mint condition. It features every note Goldsmith recorded for the film, including music ultimately not featured in the final cut, extended versions of some cues trimmed during film editing, and alternates. There is also a generous selection of source music specially arranged by Alexander Courage and conducted by Goldsmith (these cues are quite important in the film, since they appear in Papillon’s dreams and in the band concert during the escape). The 20-page full-color booklet includes liner notes by Ecoutez le cinéma! producer Stéphane Lerouge, and by John Takis, who provides a comprehensive track-by-track analysis. 01.

Jim Ware 526 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 The Universal France release has a number of cues running at an incorrect speed (and therefore at incorrect pitch). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,000 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Ordered. And this marks a first speciality label purchase of 2017 for me. I'm shocked just how dull this year has been so far. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Hmmmm, this comes out to $32 USD when converted with shipping... that certainly crosses a threshold where I have to think twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 8,000 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 That is why I always think twice before ordering anything from Varese. They charge me customs on top of everything else. Still haven't bought Stanley & Iris for this very reason. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 16.95€ is nothing! Just compare Quartet's and Varese's prices! In Germany you pay 35€ for a 1CD Varese album and 25€ for a 2CD Quartet album! I love you, Quartet records! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post John Takis 206 Posted June 20, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted June 20, 2017 This is the real deal, folks! If I hadn't worked on it, I'd have ordered it instantly.

publicist 4,643 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Regardless of who worked on it, the music speaks for itself and should be ordered immediately especially by those who devote their time to lame modern superhero scores and the like. This was a time when a score still counted! (and there's not even music in the first 30 minutes). Incanus and DaiMajin29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No love for Stanley & Iris / Pete N Tillie, Twister, Sky High, Cliffhanger, Spielberg / Williams III, Lockhart Williams Rarities, Simone Pedroni piano Williams? All of those are fine. But weak lineup compared to previous years. To put it in numbers, I used to buy 50-60 albums a year for the past 6-7 years. We're in late June now and I only got 4 so far. I have yet to fully listen to 3 of those and none of them contain music written specifically for a 2017 film. And no, new arrangements of Alan Menken stuff, with few additions, don't count.

Jay 37,346 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 World premiere of a completely unreleased John Williams score is weak. What a world we live in... The second half of the year will be more exciting than the first, don't worry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Stu 15,495 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Who is honestly excited by Pete n' Tillie? Nice music, but it's a box that's been checked, that's mostly it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Papillon is by far the highlight of the year, so far! Would you recommend to buy it immediately? I'm worried because of those 1000 copies. I mean it's PAPILLON!!!

A. A.
