Quartet Records, in collaboration with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, presents the premiere complete CD release of Billy Strange terrific score for De Sade, an ambitious 1969 American International Pictures production directed by Cy Endfield. The film is a fictionalized biography of the world’s most famous sexual and physical pervert: Marquis De Sade, who was notorious for his sadistic behavior. The film stars Keir Dullea as the Marquis, Senta Berger, Lilli Palmer and John Huston. With the full support of AIP’s experienced music department (and tips from industry veteran Les Baxter), Strange created an exciting blend of symphonic pseudo-classical music juxtaposed with contemporary pop-psychedelia for the numerous extended orgy sequences. The music was recorded by the Berlin Symphony Orchestra conducted by Strange himself. On this 80-minute CD, with the music from the 8″ multitrack preserved in mint condition in the MGM vaults, the ambitious and lavish score can be heard in all its glory.
