Popular Post Jay 38,660 Posted November 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2018 Quote We are very honored to announce our first release for our final batch of 2018: This title goes on sale November 27, 2018 at 12pm pst at www.lalalandrecords.com SCHINDLER’S LIST - 25th ANNIVERSARY SOUNDTRACK: LIMITED EDITION (2-CD SET) LLLCD 1485 Music Composed and Conducted by John Williams Violin Solos by Itzhak Perlman Limited Edition of 4000 Units RETAIL PRICE: $29.98 In commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the landmark film, SCHINDLER’S LIST, La-La Land Records, Universal Music Special Markets, Universal Studios, Amblin Entertainment and Geffen proudly present SCHINDLER’S LIST – 25th ANNIVERSARY SOUNDTRACK, a 2-CD remastered re-issue of legendary composer John Williams’ (JAWS, CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND, JURASSIC PARK) Oscar-Winning original motion picture score to the 1994 Best Picture, SCHINDLER’S LIST, starring Liam Neeson, Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, and Jonathan Sagall, and directed by Steven Spielberg. Winner of seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Original Score, this incredible true story follows the enigmatic Oskar Schindler (Liam Neeson), who saved the lives of more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust. It is the triumph of one man who made a difference and the drama of those who survived one of the darkest chapters in human history because of what he did. Williams’ musical masterwork is an indelible part of this powerful story, whose lessons of courage and faith continue to inspire generations. Disc One of this special 2-CD presentation showcases the original soundtrack assembly, sourced from the original 1993 release’s 24-karat gold Ultimate Masterdisc digital master, while Disc Two contains previously unreleased tracks, sourced from engineer Shawn Murphy’s stereo digital masters, including two major cues that are now presented in the versions heard in the picture: “Schindler’s Workforce” and “I Could Have Done More,” both of which underwent revisions after the 1993 album had been prepared. This 25th Anniversary Edition, produced, edited and mastered by Mike Matessino, is approved by composer John Williams and director Steven Spielberg. It is limited to 4000 units and features classic art design by Jim Titus and exclusive, in-depth liner notes by Matessino. Schindler’s List returns to cinemas nationwide beginning December 7.

Popular Post crumbs 14,582 Posted November 23, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2018 Most marvellous, thank you Mr. Matessino. EDIT: Oh, wow. I just read the tracklist. That's, ummm... a little disappointing. An absolute mountain of music left unreleased, especially source music. Understandable given the film it accompanied, guess it was just an uphill battle convincing Spielberg/Williams to expand this score with all the bells and whistles. 1977, The Illustrious Jerry and A.

filmmusic 2,128 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Yes, a bit underwhelming. (no film chronological order either) I guess the sessions aren't obsolete.

Incanus 5,784 Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 Yeah there was not that much unreleased music.

I guess it depends on your definition of what constitutes as 'everything'. Don't the sessions have alternate inserts of I Could Have Done More before the final film version? Arguably just early takes but still different enough from the final film version to warrant release (IMHO). Perhaps the volume of source music in the session leaks skews the impression of how much material is missing, I'll wear that. I never expected choirless versions of cues to be released, that's for sure. As I said earlier, I completely understand why this was probably a difficult release to convince Williams/Spielberg of a chronological, film order assembly with OST + alternates at on disc 2. I'll still buy it but, as @filmmusic says, it just means the sessions are not made obsolete (mostly thanks to source music). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of Williams-conducted source music unreleased from this score. There's nothing "false" or "accusatory" about my statements whatsoever and your attempts to label them such are disingenuous, so you might want to reconsider your comment. There's nothing wrong with being disappointed that Williams has vetoed this music from being included on this release. For me, any music conducted by Williams is a precious thing and it would have been nice to "close the book" on requiring the recording sessions for this score.

I think in this case he wants the release to focus only the original music written for the film, presented in the way he prefers (the OST assembly), but also offering bonus cues for fans and admirers of his work. I think source music stuff is always just a curio for JW and he wouldn't have it out on a commercial release. Sometimes he doesn't oppose for specialty releases, other times he might have a consideration or two about it. I guess he feels particulary proud and protective about his work on SL and probably doesn't feel the source music is something fitting for this presentation.

Yeah the sessions track list is misleading since there are quite a few takes of each piece (including all the source music) on it without many significant changes to the music itself and not a huge amount of unreleased music so the OST already contained lion's share of the actual score. I am perfectly fine with Williams wanting to preserve the album and adding the rest of the music, however little there is, on disc 2 as a bonus. The release also ties into the 25th anniversary release of the films in cinemas so I can understand that this release is to commemorate that in a more mass market format and as such follows the suit of the Saving Private Ryan with similar release earlier this year.

I don;t see it there I'm not familiar with the leak, but is this a true alternate (i.e. a different composition, or at least a performance intended to be choir-less), or is it just the instrumental session that was always intended to be mixed with a separately recorded choir part? Because I suppose that's what we had with the HA2 alternate, and such things in general are pretty pointless, because the instrumental parts have all kinds of "gaps" (in volume and orchestration) where the choir is supposed to come in. In that case, it's not an alternate, just an incomplete mix. Like releasing the theme (in its original version) without the violin. It can be "interesting", but it doesn't make sense musically, and I'd expect most composers to be against releasing something like it. (I do have a bit of a soft spot for the HA2 simply because the choir in the full mix is so shrill that I've always had conflicted feelings about it) Jurassic Shark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll also be seeing it in theaters One curiosity though: I heard that there was an alternate of the entire Schindler's Workforce, in addition to two alternates of the cue called The Money Exchange. Is that true, and is that included? Basically, is all of John Williams' score included? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
