5.0 out of 5 stars Some of Bernstein's greats..., August 23, 2006
By 
Forrest Wildwood "Phil" (The house with the narrow gate) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: True Grit: Elmer Bernstein Conducts His Classic Scores For The Films Of John Wayne (Audio CD)
It is good to see this music being re-released. Many years ago I purchase the 1985 Varese Sarabande out of print album, with the Utah Symphony Orchestra, that only included the music from 'True Grit' and 'The Comancheros'...the first sixteen tracks on this CD. This recording is a straight combining of those Bernstein conducted sessions, with the Orchestra, adding three more John Wayne Western movie scores..basically putting two albums on one CD. My album, of the True Grit/Comancheros tracks, has very sharp and clear orchestral sound..very good miking. It carries the grand sweeping strings and horns that never seem to get tiresome. With this being a direct recording, the True Grit/The Comancheros tracks alone make this CD a must buy. It allows film score lovers a chance to appreciated the great work that Elmer Bernstein did in the movies..especially the Western. The True Grit tracks on this album, unlike the new Tadlow Music release of the True Grit score, come very close..quite possibly indistinguishable..to being original soundtracks. It's nice to know that this great music is still available for format updating or replacing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Elmer Bernstein Rides Again!, April 9, 2006
This review is from: True Grit: Elmer Bernstein Conducts His Classic Scores For The Films Of John Wayne (Audio CD)
In the 1980s, Mr. Bernstein conducted two spectacular digitally recorded albums with the Utah Symphony Orchestra featuring his distinctive sound for John Wayne films. Long out of print in the U.S., Varese Sarabande has at long last released both 35 minute albums on a single cd. For fans of his landmark score for "The Magnificent Seven" (also recently reissued on VS) these scores have the welcome familiarity of an old friend. Bernstein's music energized many film genres, from science fiction (Spacehunter and Heavy Metal) to drama (To Kill A Mockingbird, Age Of Innocence, Far From Heaven) to action-adventure (The Great Escape) to epics (The Ten Commandments) and comedy (Ghostbusters, Stripes, Animal House), but his most memorable scores have captured the excitement and violence of the Old West. Many of these re-recordings stand as the definitive performances of these scores. If you're looking for a introduction to the work of one of film music best composers or simply a collection of classic Western music, you'll find it all here.
