A Time to Love and a Time to Die (1958)

Lust for Life (1956)
A winning pair of the late fifties from the great Hungarian-born maestro who became a legendary figure in Hollywood.

Although a more intimate work than the historical epics with which Rózsa's name is usually associated with, the score for Douglas Sirk's A Time to Love and a Time to Die features the composer's usual rich orchestral palette and powerful bursts of dramatic tension with the support of a large brass section. Romance takes also an important place in this story of a German soldier (John Gavin) dealing with the consequences of the Second World War. The Decca soundtrack album of A Time to Love and a Time to Die, performed by the Universal-International Orchestra, was reissued by Varčse Sarabande in 1978, then on CD in 1993 by MCA Japan, which is a long time out of print.

We complete the program with the 22-minute stereophonic recording of the Lust for Life Suite, performed by the Frankenland State Symphony Orchestra in Germany. The composer gathered here the main themes from his 1956 score for Vincente Minnelli’s drama based on the life of artist Vincent van Gogh, starring Kirk Douglas. This suite, close to the original soundtrack but intended for the concert hall, was first released on a Decca LP in 1958, along with other concert adaptations of Rózsa film scores (Brute Force, The Killers, The Naked City). Varčse Sarabande would reissue this program 20 years later, and then re-release it on compact disc in 1993

We believe that our release of the Lust for Life Suite and A Time to Love and a Time to Die, produced from mint vinyl sources using state-of-the-art technology, is a better rendition of the original analog recordings and offers a more enjoyable listen than the compact discs previously available. 12-page full color booklet.

Une combinaison gagnante datant de la fin des années 1950 du maestro natif de Hongrie, devenu une figure légendaire d'Hollywood. Męme si on n’y retrouve pas le souffle épique qui caractérise les fresques historiques et bibliques auxquelles le nom de Rózsa est généralement associé, A Time to Love and a Time porte la signature distinctive du compositeur, une riche palette orchestrale et de puissantes poussées de tension dramatique ŕ grand renfort de cuivres. La romance occupe aussi une place importante dans cette histoire d'un soldat allemand confronté aux terribles conséquences de la Seconde Guerre mondiale.D’une durée de 22 minutes, la Suite Lust for Life est interprétée par le Frankenland State Symphony Orchestra sous la direction de Miklós Rózsa. Le compositeur a regroupé ici les principaux thčmes de sa partition de 1956 pour le film de Vincente Minelli qui évoque la vie du peintre Vincent van Gogh, incarné par Kirk Douglas. Cet enregistrement stéréophonique, qui tenait ŕ la fois de la bande originale et d'oeuvre de concert, est d’abord paru en album chez Decca en 1958, avec d’autres adaptations de musiques de film de Rózsa (Brute Force, The Killers, The Naked City). Varčse Sarabande l’a réédité vingt plus tard, pour ensuite l’offrir sur CD en 1993.

Nous croyons que nos versions de la Suite Lust for Life et de A Time to Love and a Time to Die, réalisées ŕ partir du support vinyle en utilisant le meilleur équipement de numérisation et de restauration disponible, se rapprochent davantage des enregistrements analogiques originaux et procurent une écoute plus satisfaisante que les disques compacts déjŕ parus. Livret de 12 pages en couleurs.
