Jaws 3-D 2-CD set & Killing Season

New releases Intrada

Intrada has released 2 new soundtracks this week. The first is Alan Parker's score to Jaws 3-D and the second is Christopher Young's score to Killing Season.

This is the long-awaited premiere of the entire thrilling soundtrack by Alan Parker for installment three of the legendary Jaws franchise, this one shown in 3-D when debuting in 1983. Following our restoration of the complete Jaws The Revenge release, this 2-CD presentation of Jaws 3-D includes a boatload of music previously unreleased - much of it never before heard! Joe Alves directs, Dennis Quaid, Bess Armstrong, Lou Gossett, Jr. star, young Lea Thompson debuts, Richard Matheson & Carl Gottlieb script. The film heads to aquatic Sea World park in Florida, bringing continuity with Steven Spielberg's justifiably famous first Jaws movie by having Chief Brody's young boys (Michael & Sean) now becoming young men. Plenty of shark terror ensues as all concerned prepare for the opening of their spectacular park, including a lavish underwater viewing chamber for tourists. Alan Parker anchors with the obligatory theme by John Williams, then heads in all-new directions with a plethora of large-scale symphonic material all his own. Parker was a session player on Jerry Goldsmith's First Blood as well as on projects with John Barry, Henry Mancini and others. A soundtrack album was released in 1983 by MCA Records (and subsequently on CD by Intrada) featuring select highlights. For this new restoration of the complete score, Intrada went back to the complete stereo session masters recorded by Chris Dibble in London and vaulted at Universal. The film itself underwent numerous post-production changes. As such, many of Parker's cues were re-cut, truncated and moved elsewhere throughout the picture. Many others were completely re-scored during the recording sessions while still others were re-composed entirely for future television broadcasts that would alter certain scenes for TV audiences. By the time Parker was finished recording everything, he had over 100 minutes of music! The 1983 album itself cuts between both used and unused takes. For this new presentation of everything Parker recorded, we opted to present as closely as possible the sequence used in the picture, including the revisions, then follow with the unused and re-composed cues, including those written especially for the TV showings and versions made for the 1983 album, finally wrapping with all of his original source music for various restaurant and bar sequences. 108 minutes of music, all in stereo, all courtesy Universal Pictures and UMG! Highlights are many but premiering the complete opening musical sequence of the movie deserves a spotlight as do the complete 'Sub Search', 'Night Capture' cues. Another highlight: 'Restaurant Source' is almost completely lost in the film and here finally reveals itself to be a beautiful variant of the love theme, scored entirely for flute and harp. For the complete Jaws 3-D soundtrack, enjoy music that is exciting and melodious, soaring and spectacular! Alan Parker composes, arranges and conducts.

Premiere presentation of Christopher Young's soundtrack for Killing Season offers his exciting symphonic portrait for cello and orchestra as a fully-drawn classical work in four movements. 'The Purest Form Of War Is One On One' states the film poster's tagline. Stars Robert De Niro and John Travolta fight their private war in a remote wilderness, with a focus on haunted Bosnian War experiences, pain and isolation, distant battlefields and ultimately the catharsis of confession. Young creates what might be his finest, most emotionally rich theme of his career to date, with a haunting minor-key line over harmonies both minor and major, in quotes both gently transparent and surging through the full orchestra. Sadness, bitterness and pain can all be heard in this heartfelt primary idea for cello with orchestra. As the conflict gets grim, Young brings ferocious action material for full orchestra into the foreground. The juxtapositioning of these two ideas, one painfully emotional, the other intensely violent, becomes the framework of this superb score. Instead of becoming just a series of short film cues, Young actually reworked new cello passages throughout the score, weaving all into a magnificent, cohesive symphonic work in three lengthy movements plus a brief interlude. Recording engineer Peter Fuchs captures the detail with stunning clarity. This unusual and moving presentation of a film score recalls an earlier era when Vaughan Williams, Korngold, Rozsa and Herrmann sometimes fashioned their film scores into wholly new symphonic works for the concert hall. Now Christopher Young brings that concept into today's world. Rich and rewarding! Allan Wilson conducts. Intrada Special Collection CD available while quantities and interest remain!
