Intrada December Schedule.

"11/28/08

If you've got room after turkey for more music, we'll have 2 new releases on Tuesday, December 2. Hopefully you'll have room, of course. The CDs coming in are pretty cool. One's a 2-CD set, with a pair of 20th Century-Fox scores from a composer known pretty much as the king of film composers. The set boasts two scores representing some of the best he's written for this particular genre. And the price is reasonably attractive, too. Golly. Great music and great value at the same time!

The other CD offers a complete presentation of a score we've visited in the past only with highlights. In addition to being complete, it's been newly remixed and remastered from MGM's actual multi-track session elements for the first time, too! It may come from the 1970's but it sounds as crisp and dynamic as if it came from today. Think of it as part of a series we've been doing with this most fascinating and complex of composers and you'll no doubt want to add it to your set!

In fact, December's a busy month for us with several other releases as well. Due on the 16th are three titles. One literally ranks amongst the most-requested 1980's titles we've ever had. The other two are certainly worthy of consideration as well, premiering colorful Latin-flavored music by an all-time top honored composer and horror music by one of the genre's more popular composers. I can't say these two CDs have much in common beyond the Intrada brand and the good music contained therein. But maybe that'll be enough to whet your appetite.

And if the above isn't enough to keep you busy, we're also bringing you an exceptional symphonic score that William ross penned for Universal's big animation movie opening on Christmas day. THE TALE OF DESPEREAUX not only boasts a huge cast of famous actors supplying voice talent but it also has one of the most exciting and emotionally rich orchestral scores ever to grace an animated film. Really. This project's keeping us extra busy since we're actively working with Universal on marketing schedules and whatnot. The score was recorded by a massive group with veteran Armin Steiner in the booth. Rest assured Ross' orchestral splendor and detail has been vividly captured. Nearly an hour of it!

So it should be a month where there's something for everyone - and maybe even everything for someone, too!"

So, any guesses as to what this 80`s score could be?
