ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS (ROCCO E I SUOI FRATELLI / 2CD / 1000 EDITION)

Wed, 31 Jan 2024 12:48:52 EST

$24.95

Composed by: Nino Rota

To celebrate the 60th anniversary of one of the most important neo-realist movies ever filmed in Italy, Quartet Records proudly presents ROCCO E I SUOI FRATELLI (ROCCO AND HIS BROTHERS), a 2-CD set featuring for the first time the complete original score of the landmark collaboration between Luchino Visconti and Nino Rota.

The film finds the young Rocco (Alain Delon), his mother and three siblings moving from the South to Milan, hoping to reunite the family with the eldest brother. However, diverging life goals as well as the appearance of a prostitute (Annie Girardot) cause a jealous rift between the siblings and inevitably lead to the family falling apart.

Following an operatic scheme, the music of ROCCO E I SUOI FRATELLI is one of the most radiantly beautiful scores composed by Rota, and one of his great dramatic classics, singled out by Francis Ford Coppola as one of the main reasons he hired Nino Rota to score THE GODFATHER. The low-key, sultry jazz score manages to depict Milan as a city of endless possibilities as well as cruel realities.

This 2-CD release contains the expanded score presentation on Disc 1 and the remastered original LP program plus unused alternates on Disc 2, all restored and mastered by Chris Malone from first-generation master tapes courtesy of Gruppo Sugar. The 20-page booklet includes liner notes by Gergely Hubai that discuss the film and the score in detail. -QUARTET RECORDS

HEIDI / JANE EYRE (2CD / 2500 EDITION)

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 08:44:45 EST

$27.95

Composed by: John Williams

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Capitol Records and Universal Music Entertainment, present a 2-CD set with a revised, remastered, slightly expanded edition of scores for two landmark made-for-television films composed by John Williams (STAR WARS, E.T., JURASSIC PARK, HOOK) between 1968 and 1970. Both of these adaptations of classic stories were presented by Omnibus Productions and directed by Delbert Mann, and both also earned Emmy® Awards for John Williams� original music. Through these scores, the composer shaped the destinies of two classic literary characters as well as his own.

Every effort was made to locate surviving audio elements for both HEIDI and JANE EYRE. The discovery of the original ½? four-track masters from HEIDI containing all of the cues selected for the 1968 narrated story album facilitated an attentive new mix of the music and a presentation in narrative order. The narration record was newly transferred by Universal Music Group and is presented after the musical score.

For JANE EYRE, a new high-resolution transfer of the 1971 ¼? stereo album master was provided by Universal Music Group, with audio then fully restored. This is followed by four tracks of additional material, including a short segment of source music that is heard in the film but was not on the album. The other three tracks are alternate performances of three selections recorded for the album, �To Thornfield,� �Restoration� and the �Love Theme.� This material was sourced from two ½? 3-track tapes that were discovered at Twentieth Century Fox in early 2019. While no additional score cues could be located, the recovery of any new material from this enduring and highly regarded John Williams work is most welcome.

The entire collection has been painstakingly remixed, restored, assembled and mastered by Mike Matessino, preserving all the freshness of the original recording. The package includes a 28-page full-color booklet with in-depth liner notes by film music writer John Takis and classy art direction by Jim Titus.

DAD (2CD / 2000 EDITION)

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 08:44:17 EST

$27.95

Composed by: James Horner

Quartet Records, Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment, Universal Music Special Markets and Geffen Records present an expanded and remastered 2-CD edition of DAD, the sensitive score composed by James Horner (FIELD OF DREAMS, CASPER, BRAVEHEART, TITANIC) for the 1989 Steven Spielberg production. The film is a family drama written and directed by Gary David Goldberg, and features stars Jack Lemmon, Ted Danson, Olympia Dukakis and Ethan Hawke.

The film tells the story of John Tremont (Danson) who returns home after his mother (Dukakis) suffers a heart attack, and ends up caring for, and developing a new bond with, his dad, Jake (Lemmon). This new stage in their relationship restores Jake�s will to live. Meanwhile, Jake�s relationship with his grandson Billy (Hawke), upset by the separation of his parents, encourages the rebuilding of the family.

James Horner composed a touching score, dominated by a beautifully heartwarming theme. This expanded collection has been produced by Mike Matessino and Neil S. Bulk and mastered by Matessino from original 2-track mixes by engineer Shawn Murphy. Disc one includes the film score presentation with never-before released material and additional bonus tracks. The original MCA album, long out of print, is on Disc 2, which features performance variation in some tracks. The package includes an in-depth essay by film music writer and conductor Deniz Cordell.

PASCAL GAIGNE: HIC ET NUNC (2CD)

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 08:43:49 EST

$19.95

Composed by: Pascal Gaigne

Quartet Records presents a double CD that features several non-film compositions by Pascal Gaigne, a composer with whom we have proudly worked for fourteen years on a total of 28 albums.

A sunny, enigmatic composer, Gaigne has patiently developed, alongside an impressive output of music for film and intense activity as a stage musician, a catalog of challenging works drawing on instrumental, vocal and electronic resources. These encompass a very broad musical spectrum, including electroacoustics and microtonality, constantly reinventing the relationship between traditional music and symphonic music� particularly of the 20th century. Gaigne is also one of those composers who can move with equal ease from instrumental writing to acousmatic composition (a form of electroacoustic music that is specifically composed for presentation using speakers, as opposed to a live performance), and to their synthesis. This album gathers 10 pieces from his catalog�only the tip of the iceberg of his entire musical production.

Produced by the composer and mastered by Mikel F. Krutzaga, the package includes a 28-page booklet with exclusive liner notes by Bertrand Dubedout. This album represents, once again, the powerful and unique voice of Pascal Gaigne within the contemporary European music community.

CUTTHROAT ISLAND (2CD)

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 08:42:55 EST

$27.95

Composed by: John Debney

Quartet Records and StudioCanal present the CD return of John Debney�s symphonic opus for the adventure classic CUTTHROAT ISLAND. Directed by Renny Harlin and starring Geena Davis, Matthew Modine and Frank Langella, the movie is a big-budget, swashbuckling throwback about Morgan Adams, a female pirate, and her crew racing to find a hidden island containing a fabulous treasure before her uncle, Dawg Brown. Along the way there are sword fights, chases, storms at sea and all sorts of high adventure, all produced on an epic scale.

Keeping up with the massive visuals was composer John Debney (HOCUS POCUS, WHITE FANG 2, LITTLE GIANTS, THE PASSION OF CHRIST) who led the London Symphony Orchestra and the London Voices for the recording. Considered one of the 90s best adventure scores, and one of Debney�s most highly regarded works, this orchestral tour de force returns to CD with the same expanded program as the previous La-La Land Records album released in 2016 and long sold out.

This reissue has been produced by Neil S. Bulk, and mixed and mastered by Mike Matessino. The package includes a 16-page booklet with updated liner notes by Jeff Bond and original artwork by Drew Struzan.
