A Dog of Flanders OST available digitally
American composers Paul Sawtell and Bert Shefter teamed together on a large number of soundtracks for science fiction and horror movies in the 1950s and the 1960s: Kronos, The Fly, Cosmic Man and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, to name some of the best known. A Dog of Flanders (1959), directed by James B. Clark, starring David Ladd, Donald Crisp and Theodore Bikel, was one of their rare assignments devoted to the family drama genre with a special appeal to children.
Mission accomplished. For this well-crafted story of a young boy and his dog, Sawtell and Shefter delivered a gentle and richly textured score with a pastoral flavour. Warmly performed by the Santa Cecilia Academy Orchestra and Choir of Rome, it shows a melodic concern with a variety of themes perfectly blended together.
The soundtrack to A Dog of Flanders was released on LP at the time with a true stereo version that has become a collectors’ item. For our digital restoration we sough the best available stereo sources. Despite the persistence of a small amount of analog distortion in a few passages, the overall listening experience proves to be delightful. This new Disques Cinémusique release is available for download and streaming on most internet sites.
