Welcome to New Orleans!
Alex North's music for Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize winning A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE is probably the single most revolutionary film score of all time. It was the first film ever to feature jazz in its score and this began the transition from the orchestral style of Hollywood's Golden Age to today's more subtle approach. All of this and A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE was Alex North's very first score!! North had originally composed his themes when STREETCAR was on Broadway. The cast was the same for the film with one exception: for the film Vivian Leigh took over the role of Blanche DuBois from Jessica Tandy. She also won the 'Best Actress' Academy Award! Marlon Brando was Stanley Kowalski. This was the role that made him a star. Kim Hunter won an Oscar playing his wife Stella. Karl Malden also won an Oscar for his role as Mitch. Tennessee Williams' magnificent play has won one of the widest audiences in contemporary dramatic literature. He created an immortal woman in the character of Blanche DeBois - a fragile southern belle whose last grasp at happiness is cruelly destroyed by her barbaric brother-in-law Stanley Kowalski.
This release is a dramatic follow-up to Varèse Sarabande's best-selling CD Alex North's 2001. Two years to the day, producer Robert Townson reunited with conductor Jerry Goldsmith and London's acclaimed National Philharmonic Orchestra to again pay tribute to film music's greatest composer, Alex North (1910-1991). In addition to composing the historic scores for Spartacus, Cleopatra, Death of a Salesman, The Rose Tattoo and many others, North also wrote the hit song 'Unchained Melody' and the poignant and beautiful score for Good Morning, Vietnam.
Jerry Goldsmith is the master composer of our time. His own credits include Chinatown, Patton, Basic Instinct, Star Trek, The Omen, Congo, First Knight and the theme for the new Star Trek TV series, Voyager. This is only his second recording ever of music by another composer, showing how important the music of Alex North is to him.
Like with the recording of 2001, the recording session for A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE turned into a media event with photographers and film crews from around the world - including members of The Today Show. The result was what may be the single best film music recording EVER!
