In celebration of the 20th anniversary of Spider-Man 2, Sony Classical proudly presents Danny Elfman's iconic original score on vinyl for the first time ever. Conducted by Pete Anthony and performed by the 100+ piece Hollywood Studio Symphony orchestra, this special release features Elfman's masterful compositions for the second installment of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy, starring Tobey Maguire, Kirsten Dunst, James Franco, and Alfred Molina. - As Peter Parker navigates his dual life as a college student and superhuman crime fighter, Elfman's score delves deep into character emotions, revisiting and expanding on his classic Spider-Man themes while introducing a bold and ominous new motif for Peter's latest nemesis, Doc Ock. The album also includes two bonus tracks composed and recorded by Elfman but not included in the final film: the action-packed, brass and percussion-led "Train / Appreciation" and the tender, heartfelt "Aunt May Packs," offering fans a glimpse into Elfman's original vision. The album closes in true superhero fashion with a revisited villain motif on "Green Goblin Returns" and the emotionally charged "At Long Last, Love," which blends cinematic romance with Elfman's climactic "Farewell" theme from the first film. - The 20th Anniversary release features a soft-touch jacket with UV spot-gloss webbing on the front cover, along with a 12x12 credit insert showcasing photos from the film, offering a nostalgic addition to any Marvel fan's collection.

Zdenek Liska Archives is a project aimed at releasing a sequence of vinyl records featuring a selection of original recordings of film music by this important Czech composer, from his personal audio-tape archive. The first album of the collection contains music from three short films by Jan svankmajer from 1966 to 1977 - Don sajn (Don Juan), Leonarduv denik (Leonardo's Diary) and zvahlav aneb saticky Slameneho Huberta (Jabberwocky). Out of a total of ten short films by svankmajer, which Zdenek Liska provided music for, the recordings of these three films have been preserved in his home archive. In the album's booklet, Jan svankmajer highlights Liska's brilliant film-composing skills: "What was amazing about Liska's music was that, unlike most other composers, he didn't attempt to go with the mood of the film and milk the emotions but listened to the rhythm of the movie itself. Especially in an animated film, this helped to greatly enhance the sense of the picture's pace and drama. He was able to discover rhythms in films that even their authors weren't aware of." The album is released in the year of Jan svankmajer's 90th birthday. The work of this exceptional surrealist artist is represented by a retrospective exhibition presenting works by Jan and Eva svankmajer in the Central Bohemian Region Gallery or a program section dedicated to his film work in the Dafilms online cinema.

After releasing the complete set of Ennio Morricone's Cinema Suites for violin and orchestra on two albums (Cinema Suites, A495 and Cinema Rarities, A554), Marco Serino now presents world premiere recordings of the Maestro's own arrangements for violin and piano. Marco is joined by pianist Leandro Piccioni, who, like Marco, brings over twenty years of experience working closely with Morricone in his favoured orchestra, Roma Sinfonietta. These original arrangements, all from celebrated soundtracks, represent the point of departure for an original anthology in which the two musicians investigate the wider repertoire connected to the cinema. Cinema Memories ranges from works that have since become classics such as the Three Pieces from Schindler's List by John Williams to Bernstein's West Side Story Suite, one of the outright masterpieces of musicals on film, and Myroslav Skoryk's Melody in A minor, a jewel of a piece that has since become a sort of national anthem for the Ukrainian people. It is a programme that interweaves memory and imagination, melancholy and light, dreams and reality, making each listening experience a truly multifaceted experience.
