Intrada has just released their brand-new re-recording of Dimitri Tiomkin's complete score for the 3D Hitchcock classic DIAL M FOR MURDER, with William Stromberg conducting the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in the label's first completed Kickstarter-aided project. Extras include an eight-minute suite from another Hitchcock/Tiomkin classic, Strangers on a Train.
Their other new Tiomkin release is PARIS UNDER THE STARS: BALLET MUSIC FOR ALBERTINA RASCH, a two-disc set featuring a new recording (with William Stromberg conducting the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra) of dance music composed by Tiomkin between 1927 and 1932, before his Hollywood scoring career.
The latest release from Caldera presents music by Andrew Dickson composed for films from legendary British director Mike Leigh -- the 1996 Best Picture nominee SECRETS & LIES, the TV movie MEANTIME, the comedy HIGH HOPES, and the drama NAKED, which earned raves for David Thewlis' breakthrough lead performance.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has announced shortlists for the nominations in nine categories, including the two music categories; the credits listed may not be the final credits for nominations (the other seven shortlists are featured at the end of this column):

Quartet has announced their final batch of soundtrack releases for 2019: the first CD release of Ron Goodwin's score for THOSE DARING YOUNG MEN IN THEIR JAUNTY JALOPIES (also known as Monte Carlo or Bust!), a two-disc set featuring both an expanded version of the original LP selection (in stereo) as well as the full score in mono; an expanded, 50th anniversary edition of Quincy Jones' score for the heist comedy THE ITALIAN JOB; a two-disc remastered edition of Jerry Goldsmith's wonderful THE GREAT TRAIN ROBBERY, featuring the original film score cues, alternates, and the original LP sequencing; a re-release of their 3-disc edition of Henry Mancini's SANTA CLAUS; a remastered re-release of Ennio Morricone's score for Pedro Almodovar's Atame, known in the U.S. as TIE ME UP! TIE ME DOWN!; and an 11-disc boxed set, PEDRO ALMODOVAR & ALBERTO IGLESIAS: FILM MUSIC COLLECTION, featuring remastered (but not expanded) versions of all the films the director/composer team has made together, from The Flower of My Secret to Pain and Glory.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is expected to announce shortlists for the nominations in several categories next week, including Original Score and Original Song. Starting last year, the Academy stopped publicizing the lists of all eligible scores and songs, but according to a Jon Burlingame article in Variety, some high profile scores were not included on the list. Nathan Johnson's Knives Out was omitted due to "an administrative mixup," while Pinar Toprak's Captain Marvel was not submitted by its studio. Max Richter's Ad Astra was also not submitted, since he and fellow composer Lorne Balfe did not personally collaborate on the final score.
Scores which were apparently declared ineligible due to the preponderance of non-original music include James Newton Howard's A Hidden Life (as with any Malick film, there were apparently concert pieces tracked in to supplement the original score), Robbie Robertson's The Irishman (which featured only a small amount of score plus a substantial amount of Scorsese-style period music) and Bryce Dessner's The Two Popes (which prominently features ABBA and Beatles songs along with the score).
The Hollywood Foreign Press Assocation has announced this year's Golden Globe nominations, including the following film music categories:
BEST ORIGINAL SCORE - MOTION PICTURE
JOKER - Hildur Guonadottir
LITTLE WOMEN - Alexandre Desplat
MARRIAGE STORY - Randy Newman
MOTHERLESS BROOKLYN - Daniel Pemberton
1917 - Thomas Newman
BEST ORIGINAL SONG - MOTION PICTURE
"Beautiful Ghosts" - Cats - Taylor Swift, Andrew Lloyd Webber
"I'm Gonna Love Me Again" - Rocketman - Elton John, Bernie Taupin
"Into the Unknown" - Frozen II - Robert Lopez, Kristen Anderson-Lopez
"Spirit" - The Lion King - Beyonce Knowles-Carter, Timothy McKenzie, Ilya Salmanzadeh
"Stand Up" - Harriet - Joshuah Bryan Campbell, Cynthia Erivo |

Intrada has announced two new soundtrack CD releases this week:
A two-disc, first-ever release of Lalo Schifrin's score for the 1978 Disney sci-fi thriller sequel RETURN FROM WITCH MOUNTAIN, directed by John Hough (The Legend of Hell House), in which Escape to Witch Mountain stars Kim Richards and Ike Eisenmann are joined by screen legends Bette Davis and Christopher Lee. Disc One features Schifrin's complete score including unused cues, and Disc Two is an edited "album presentation" of 49 minutes of score highlights.
From this summer comes DORA AND THE LOST CITY OF GOLD, the live-action adventure film starring Isabela Moner (Instant Family, Sicario: Day of the Soldado) as TV's Dora the Explorer, with music co-composed by Oscar-nominee John Debney and Germaine Franco (Dope, Little). The Intrada CD features a whopping 76 minutes of score.
La-La Land has announced five new "Black Friday" soundtrack CD releases, all of which should begin shipping in the next couple weeks:
DISASTER MOVIE SOUNDTRACK COLLECTION is a four-disc set featuring three classic 70s disaster movie scores by John Williams -- the Oscar-nominated The Poseidon Adventure, remastered in a mix of stereo and mono tracks; the shortlisted Earthquake, featuring both the LP tracks and the first release of the original score tracks; and a remastered version of the nominated The Towering Inferno, featuring the original score sequencing as well as alternates and the LP tracks.
NEVADA SMITH: THE PARAMOUNT WESTERNS COLLECTION is a four disc-set of scores previously unreleased on CD, and most of them have never had soundtrack releases at all. The collection features Nevada Smith (Alfred Newman), El Dorado (Nelson Riddle), Three Violent People (Walter Scharf), Kid Rodelo (Johnny Douglas), Walk Like a Dragon (Paul Dunlap), Will Penny (David Raksin), The Hangman (Harry Sukman), Branded (Roy Webb), The Furies (Franz Waxman), Copper Canyon (Daniele Amfitheatrof) and Streets of Laredo (Victor Young).
STAR TREK: VOYAGER, VOL. 2 is a four-disc soundtrack for the long running series with music from episodes scored by Paul Baillargeon, David Bell, Jay Chattaway and Dennis McCarthy.
STARGATE: 25TH ANNIVERSARY EXPANDED is a two-disc set of David Arnold's popular symphonic score for director Roland Emmerich's 1994 time travel adventure, featuring the complete 80-minute score as well as 28 minutes of alternate cues.
THE KARATE KID: THE 35TH ANNIVERSARY is a newly remastered release of Bill Conti's score for the sequel- and remake-spawning 1984 hit, including several alternate cues. |
