The Twilight Zone - 06/10 - Critique de Tom Daish, ajouté le (Anglais)
By some remarkable coincidence (or by the will of some mysterious higher power) both Varese and Silva have released albums of music from the Twilight Zone. Whereas Silva's featured many different composers and contained original recordings, this Varese album is another re-recordings and features music solely by Bernard Herrmann, conducted by Joel McNeely and performed by various ensembles drawn from the musicians of the ever excellent Royal Scottish National Orchestra. Herrmann was a pioneer in writing music for radio dramas and the skills he acquired in this line of work undoubtedly helped greatly with writing under the budget and time constraints of weekly television. This double album features seven complete scores as well as various versions of Herrmann's title and credits music. This is not however, the famous Marius Constant four note motif, but Herrmann's own increasingly surging idea mainly for strings, although brass makes a bigger contribution in the later versions. As I have commented elsewhere, the initial theme is not outstandingly memorable on its own, even if the atmosphere is spot on. The later versions are a lot more impressive with still the correct amount of menace.

The opening installment of the series, Where is Everybody? is a protoypical Bernard Herrmann effort filled with his very distinct mysterioso science fiction style. It is predominantly a strings effort, but there are brief additions of harp and his favourite, the vibraphone which give it a feeling that suggests his score for Fahrentheit 451. Walking Distance is often cited as one of the best of Herrmann's Twlight Zone scores, which is ironic given that it is very elegaic and warm, especially compared to his other music for the Zone and comes across as somewhat atypical Herrmann. The penultimate cue of the score, Elegy is as sumblimely heart breaking a piece of music as you're ever likely to hear.

The final two episodes from the first disc are perhaps less impressive. The Lonely doesn't really do much or go anywhere until toward the end when the gorgeous and elegant The Stars brings the score the a romantic and impressionistic touch. If the entire thing had been similar, it would have been an absolute treat, but otherwise it just isn't very interesting. Eye of the Beholder is also frankly rather boring. Every track seems to start with the same short motif and only with the slightly more chaotic Hysteria is there any life in the music. It also has the virture of featuring the shortest track I've ever seen; it is four seconds long. The disc also features the 2nd Revision of the Main Theme which improves on the original with a more dynamic and threatening build up.

It seems that the series creator, Rod Sterling wanted Herrmann to up the dramatic impact of his theme every season and as a result the New Twilight Zone theme becomes almost a fanfare, with bright brass playing off against the more mysterious aspect. It is certainly more striking than the other variations. Little Girl Lost starts pretty unpromisingly, but slowly gets more interesting when the harp and percussion become increasingly more prominent with some athletic harp and vibraphone arpeggios which play off well against some agile woodwind motifs. Another Herrmann favourite, a solo viola d'amore adds a more delicate and mournful edge to the music. Living Doll features the smallest ensemble so far, just bass clarinet, harps and celeste and so the orchestral timbre is even more limited, but Herrmann's magical touch for conjuring up great music from unlikely ensembles is certainly in evidence; the deep clarinet plodding about surrounded my whispy harp arpeggios.

The recording technique for these smaller ensembles does not feature the grand acoustics of the Symphony Hall, but uses the famous studios of Abbey Road in London and results in a more immediate sound. For that reason, this is perhaps a lot closer in style to the dry acoustic of the original recordings and so is sure to abate the wrath of all but those totally fanatical about hearing nothing but the original. As mentioned, the clarity is exceptionally good and almost every detail can be heard perfectly. The performance is virtually flawless and captures the spirit of each episode beautifully. As with the Silva album, I still occasionally had the feeling that one could hear similar, but better music elsewhere. However, I enjoyed hearing this re-recording as the delicacy of Herrmann's music comes across much better with the superior sound and recording and it is certainly bound to delight both fans of Herrmann and The Twlight Zone.
