New Seventh Voyage of Sinbad
Varese Sarabande is releasing a brand new complete recording of Herrmann’s 1958 score of The Seventh Voyage of Sinbad.
Joel McNeely has conducted 5 recordings of Herrmann’s music for Varese in recent years, Fahrenheit 451, Vertigo, Psycho, Torn Curtain and the upcoming Citizen Kane (coming October 20, 1998). Now, the series is taken over by John Debney.
Varese Sarabande: “Truly one of the all time classic film scores, Bernard Herrmann’s The 7th Voyage of Sinbad has never sounded better or been more complete. Wildly exotic, lushly romantic, bombastic, violent, magical, epic… this score has everything! Conductor John Debney, perhaps most famous for his own score for Cutthroat Island, here takes over Joel McNeely’s series of Bernard Herrmann recordings and does so in the grandest manner. This first CD of four recordings of Herrmann’s work for Ray Harryhausen is destined to become one of the staple recordings necessary in every film music collection. A film music masterpiece!”
As Bruce Broughton is doing a recording of Jason and the Argonauts for Intrada, does this mean there’ll be two releases of this score?
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra, conducted by John Debney, on Varese Sarabande VSD-5961 will be released on September 8, 1998.
