Really great movie music!
Without any doubt, James Dean is and will be one of the most remembered actors in a whole galaxy of movie stars.
Although his career covered only three feature movies, they still stand as classics, and so does the music!
For the first two features "East Of Eden" and "Rebel Without A Cause", the producers turned to Leonard Rosenman, who (although these were some of his first works) created outstanding scores for both.
While "East Of Eden", JD's first major movie, is an outstanding symphonic work (based on the never-forgotten main theme), "Rebel Without A Cause" includes more jazzy tones.
Warner-veteran Dimtri Tiomkin scored the final of the three features, "Giant". Although I regard all three scores among my favorite soundtracks, I think, "Giant" is the most outstanding. Tiomkin's variations of the three main themes (Giant, There's Never Been Anyone Else But You, Jett Rink) are nostalgic treasures, nobody should miss! I can't wait, when they're finally going to release the entire score!

Last, but not least, this album is the best possibility, to get the scores, as they were recorded for the movie! Previous issues included drastical hiss and other noise or were taken directly from the music and effect track of the movies!
