Not only do we have a much better master of that LP program, but we have the complete program as well. The mix is a little different on the complete program so we're presenting both on this new release. Film dates from the early '80s."http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=8163&sid=b88b39aceea62e9dbfa4a3874a31f7b4 Doug’s Corner: "Also coming in this week are not one but two more CDs, one premiering yet more scary soundtrack music from one of our favorite veterans of the genre, as well as an expansion of a masterful 80’s title scored by a true master.

Popular Post Dr. Rick 1,157 Posted June 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2019 Sweet! Ordered! One more gap filled in my collection, looking forward to reading the liner notes courtesy of Mr. Matessino! @pete This should be easier on the eyes lol http://www.intrada.net/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8169 Quote MONSIGNOR Music Composed and Conducted By JOHN WILLIAMSLONDON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA INTRADA ISC 430 Intrada's latest release from 20th Century Fox and UMG is an expanded edition of John Williams' 1982 score to Monsignor. This new release features two programs. The first is the original Casablanca LP program (previously released on Intrada), but with improved mastering as well as the complete score in film order, including additional music not heard on the LP program. In the early 1980s, John Williams composed the scores to one blockbuster after another (the Star Wars sequels, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark), not to mention carving out time as principal conductor of the Boston Pops. And yet, Williams found time for another project with the London Symphony Orchestra, a drama, in which Christopher Reeve plays John Flaherty, an ordained priest who, once summoned to Rome and assigned to the position of Cardinal within the Vatican, becomes involved with black marketeers and has an illicit romance with a nun. John Williams' score remains one of the truly memorable aspects of the film some 37 years later. With Mike Matessino at the helm, this new release sources the LP program from the first-generation master stored at UMG in London and the 1-inch, 8-track masters stored in the vaults at 20th Century Fox. Both source elements featured very different mixes, so Matessino elected to include the two aforementioned programs. The album-only material includes "The Meeting in Sicily" and "At the Forum" which were recorded specifically for the LP at a later session, while the complete program includes some previously unreleased tracks, including "The Vatican" and "The Book Shop." One of the score's highlights featured in both programs is "Gloria," a set piece featuring 500 costumed extras in Rome's Basilica of Saints of St. John and Paul -- a five-minute musical sequence with no dialog or sound. The main theme itself is a haunting melody, first heard for solo trumpet, performed by long-time LSO trumpet player Maurice Murphy. At last collectors can enjoy John Williams' score in this definitive presentation from Intrada.

Jurassic Shark 12,075 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Rich, emotional John Williams classic gets expanded CD! 20th Century Fox presents, Frank Perry directs from Jack Alain Leger’s novel, Christopher Reeve, Genevieve Bujold, Fernando Rey, Adolfo Celi, Tomas Milian star. Newly ordained priest (Reeve) heads off to WWII service, witnesses violent death, ultimately lands position in Vatican post where he becomes embroiled in black market activities involving U.S. military and Mafia. Amidst moral challenges, priest meets and falls in love with young postulant (Bujold), adding to crisis of conscience. John Williams, deep in fertile period that included Raiders Of The Lost Ark, E.T.and Star Wars: Return Of The Jedi, anchors with beautifully expressive main theme spotlighting radiant trumpet of Maurice Murphy, celebrated soloist with London Symphony Orchestra who, interestingly, began his gem-filled career performing for Williams with LSO on initial Star Wars film in 1977. Williams created a multifaceted score combining not only the afore-mentioned expressive trumpet theme but also sequences ranging from deeply reflective to dramatically intense. Spotlight this time goes to magnificent 5-minute “Gloria”, scored for orchestra with organ and full chorus, heard in the film in celebratory sequence in Rome’s Cathedral of St. John and Paul. Intrada premiered the original 1982 Casablanca label LP program on a long out-of-print CD many years ago. That 1982 presentation contained much of the score in a unique mix made especially for the album, produced by Lionel Newman. Included were several sequences recorded expressly for the record, while two other cues heard in the actual film were dropped. Now, courtesy of 20th Century Fox and Universal Music Group, producer Michael Matessino works from the 1” 8-channel scoring session masters as well as the first-generation 1982 two-track album master, assembles the complete film soundtrack including the premiere release of the remaining two unreleased cues plus several minutes of additional unreleased soundtrack versions of sequences dropped in favor of special album takes on the 1982 LP. Maxing out this special Intrada CD is a fully re-mastered presentation of the 1982 Casablanca LP program in the best audio ever made available! Listeners can enjoy at last the complete soundtrack in the original film versions, mixed in stereo from the session elements AND the 1982 album with its unique mixes, all in one beautifully packaged release! Matessino provides informative liner notes, Kay Marshall designs the package. Eric Tomlinson records at EMI Abbey Road, John Williams composes, conducts the London Symphony Orchestra. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remain! http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.11896/.f?sc=13&category=-113 SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess that comment generated from the talk with Rodney Newton last October in London during Mike's symposium at NBC Universal. Rodney talked about Williams writing and recording "traveling music" for Monsignor that wasnt used in the film. I think he likely was referring to the "Meeting in Sicily" piece, which is a concert arrangement of the "traveling" theme heard during the score. 4 hours ago, King Mark said: It's top notch 80's Williams by the way which are the unreleased tracks? It's stated in the press release: Quote the complete program includes some previously unreleased tracks, including "The Vatican" and "The Book Shop" It's just two brief cues, but we're talking about a quite short score (at least from the perspective of Williams' standards in those years) 13 hours ago, Thor said: Meh.

While all the hard-core Williams' fans probably already have the previous release, I think it's nice to have it back in circulation for people who didn't, but first and foremost I'm particularly glad Mike was able to work with better-resolution tapes this time. It's an archival process of restoration and preservation which is very important to keep going on. 1977, Once, Arpy and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, they all feature different mixes than their filmic counterparts, so it would be nice to have newly expanded releases for all three like this one of Monsignor, mostly because of preservation and restoration from the best-sounding elements available. 26 minutes ago, King Mark said: They should have included Esplanade Overture "The Meeting in Sicily" IS basically the Esplanade Overture. Williams reworked the piece furtherly after the recording of Monsignor, extending the opening, the middle development section and the coda. He premiered the piece at the opening concert for the 1983 Pops season. The best hope to have the piece properly recorded is telling some of Williams' friends like Dudamel or Lockhart to convince the Maestro to dust off the piece... 1977, Yavar Moradi and Will 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Yavar Moradi 2,599 Posted June 4, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 4, 2019 It should be noted that in addition to the two previously-unreleased cues totaling around 3 minutes, there are also several other cues here being premiered in their film performances, the original album using alternate takes for those cues. So technically this includes more than 3 unreleased minutes (and even that would be a lot more than Saving Private Ryan, and *that* still got an expansion!)
