Sony Masterworks Broadway is proud to announce the release of the Original Cast Recording of Stereophonic. Direct from it's smash hit world premiere at Playwrights Horizon, Stereophonic opens on Broadway on April 19. With original songs by Academy Award nominee Will Butler, formerly of Arcade Fire, Stereophonic is written by David Adjimi, directed by Daniel Aukin and stars Will Brill as Reg, Andrew R. Butler as Charlie, Juliana Canfield as Holly, Eli Gelb as Grover, Tom Pecinka as Peter, Sarah Pidgeon as Diana, and Chris Stack as Simon reprising their highly lauded performances. The album features Butler's music from the show including the hit song and act one closer, "Masquerade." - Dominating the "Best Theater of 2023" lists, Stereophonic mines the agony and the ecstasy of creation as it zooms in on a music studio in 1976. Here, an up-and-coming rock band recording a new album finds itself suddenly on the cusp of superstardom. The ensuing pressures could spark their breakup - or their breakthrough. In Stereophonic, Adjmi invites the audience to immerse themselves-with fly-on-the-wall intimacy-in the powder keg process of a band on the brink of blowing up.

Personnel: James Horner (conductor).
Recorded at Todd-AO Scoring Stage, Studio City, California.

Music by Golden Globe nominee Daniel Pemberton (Steve Jobs, Gold)

In February 1993, the eyes of the world converged on Mount Carmel, a small religious community located just outside of Waco, TX. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) conducted a raid on leader David Koresh and his devoted followers, known as the Branch Davidians. After what became the longest gun battle in U.S. law enforcement history, four ATF agents and six civilians were dead, and dozens more were wounded. A 51-day standoff ensued, and the conflict ended after an FBI siege led to a fire that engulfed the entire Mount Carmel compound, killing 76 men, women, and children Taylor Kitsch is starring as Koresh. The cast also includes Oscar® and Golden Globe® nominee Michael Shannon, Andrea Riseborough, John Leguizamo, Melissa Benoist, Paul Sparks, Shea Whigham, Rory Culkin, Julia Garner and Camryn Manheim.

1958 TV Cast

Robert Oboussier was born in Antwerp and spent much of his youth in Germany. As a staunch opponent of National Socialism he emigrated to Zurich in 1939 where he held a number of important musical positions. However, the circumstances of his death in 1957 served to plunge his name into immediate obscurity and only now is his music being revived. This selection of mostly world premiere recordings demonstrates his personal use of twelve-tone rows, abrupt contrasts and a fondness for fantasia patterns. Oboussier's radical piano miniatures, 25 Abreviations, are heard here in their original versions and in excerpts arranged for plucked string ensemble by Christian Wernicke.

This album also feartures arrangements of Gershwin songs played by the New York Philharmonic.

Produced by George Korngold

Recording Engineer: K.E. Wilkinson

Recorded in February 1973

"In his notes for this CD, Gerhardt states, "it is my conviction that so powerful an artist as Miss Davis, through the strength of her portrayals, inspired a variety of composers to produce some of their best work....her composers created a 'Bette Davis sound'." Here is a varied program of music written for some of her greatest roles, high points being the excerpts from Dark Victory and Now, Voyager." - Robert Benson, Classical CD Review

"A magnificent compilation of music of one of the truly great cinema composers, Max Steiner, opening with the sublime Now Voyager love theme and continuing with a suite from King Kong. For many the highlight will be the suites from two of Steiner's finest scores, The Big Sleep and The Fountainhead." - Robert Benson, Classical CD Review

"Once again, as for this album's acclaimed predecessor, The Sea Hawk, producer George Korngold and conductor Charles Gerhardt have collaborated and approached the project with love and enthusiasm alsong with a thorough knowledge of Max Steiner's scores. The repertoire was carefully researched and selected to provide the listener with a proper cross selection and some of the highlights - within space limitations - of the composer's film career prior to 1950

The National Philharmonic Orchestra, consisting of 92 of the best musicians from London's five symphony orchestras, was again used, as was the acoustically superb Kinsway Hall. The augmented orchestra - necessary for the optimum re-creation of the Steiner sound - included two vibraphones, marimba, xylophone, gongs, chimes, organ, celesta, tom-toms, orchestra bells, two pianos, two harps and a further assortment of percussion instruments." -- Rudy Behlmer (from the liner notes)

Produced by George Korngold

Recording Engineer: K.E. Wilkinson Recorded on September 6 & 7, 1973 Remastered in BMG Studio D on August 18, 1989

"One of the most popular recordings of the series, this opens with an extended suite -- with big orchestra treatment -- of Max Steiner's music from Casablanca including of course "As Time Goes By" Equally memorable are the excerpts from The Treasure of the Sierra Madre and The Two Mrs.Carrolls." - Robert Benson, Classical CD Review

Shangri-La, the utopia of James Hilton's novel Lost Horizon, had a powerful grip on the world's imagination in the dystopian 1930s. Frank Capra achieved his cinematic vision of this mystic land of peace and contentment (Columbia Pictures, 1937) in no small measure by engaging Ukrainian composer Dimitri Tiomkin (1894-1979) in the first of their many collaborations. Tiomkin was a master at using melody--whether his own sweet themes or familiar traditional tunes--to carry a film's emotions. A suite from his score is the main work on this 1989 CD remastering of a 1974 LP entry in the legendary RCA Classic Film Scores series, now restored to availability via Arkivmusic's "on-demand" re-publishing program.

Like everything in that series (conducted by Charles Gerhardt, produced by George Korngold, and recorded by Kenneth Wilkinson), this re-release is mandatory for film music devotees and cannot be too strongly recommended to the general fan of classical orchestral music. Tiomkin's score features entrancing bell-sounds and a lovely processional theme to evoke Shangri-La, and contrasts these with the hurly-burly of the real world and the various emotions of the Westerners who find themselves shanghai-ed to paradise. Also included on the disc are shorter selections from five films of widely varying genres: war, western (the type of film that dominates Tiomkin's output), romantic comedy, a family drama, and a Cinerama travelogue.

The performances are masterful, made at a time when the National Philharmonic Orchestra and the John Alldis Choir comprised some of London's best classical session musicians and singers. The sound of the original LP was stunning, and gorgeous as it still is on this CD, listeners who remember the original will notice just a bit less presence, less "shimmer" in the effect of the 22-member bell ensemble. Meanwhile, Sony/BMG should seriously consider making SACD versions of this and other "Classic Film Score" masters that were recorded in Quadraphonic sound.

GRAMMY-nominated, BAFTA-winning composer Austin Wintory created this orchestral score for this single player role-playing tactical game, currently available on PC and Mac.

Original score composed by John Frizell and Randy Edelman.
Producers: John Frizell, Randy Edelman, Jeffrey Lesser, Jack Frost.
Includes liner notes by Ronald F. Maxwell.
The Soundtrack for director Ronald F. Maxwell's Civil War film GODS AND GENERALS consists of a score by John Frizell and Randy Edelman, book-ended by original songs from ex-October Project vocalist Mary Fahl and folk/rock icon Bob Dylan. The former track, "Going Home" is a haunting, Celtic-influenced piece that sounds similar to the best work of June Tabor and Maddy Prior. Dylan's contribution is a typically insightful and poignant look at a difficult topic, and lends the proceedings a quiet grandeur. Musically, "'Cross The Green Mountain" recalls his early-'70s work with Leon Russell. Frizell and Edelman's score is appropriately melancholy and sweeping, perfectly reflecting the epic proportions and painful subject matter of the film. The best tracks pair the symphony orchestra with country fiddler extraordinaire Mark O'Connor and Chieftan's frontman Paddy Mahoney, who impart an air of 19th-century authenticity.

Original score composed by John Williams.
Producers include: John Williams.
Principally recorded at Sony Pictures Scoring Stage, Culver City, California. Includes liner notes by Alan Parker.
ANGELA'S ASHES was nominated for the 1999 Academy Awards For Best Original Score.
"Theme From Angela's Ashes" won the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Composition.
