The Betsy

John Barry’s complete score available on 11/25/14

Prometheus Records and Tadlow Music will release on November 25th 2014 John Barry’s complete score to The Betsy. After recording Mister Moses, an early score from John Barry, in the same series of sessions they tackled a more mature offering from the composer, The Betsy. This is very much Barry in his more subdued and romantic mode … although there are a few touches of his “Bond” style in the more violent passages. Romance is certainly to the fore in his beautiful main theme – a waltz which, in its many variations and repetitions, displays Barry’s elegance, sophistication and assured dramatic instinct. This complete score is re-recorded by The City of Prague Philharmonic Ochestra conducted by Nic Raine. The total playtime of this release will be 47 minutes.
