Label: BYU FMA/DT111 Date: 1952 Tracks: 28 Time: 79:17
1952 "Northwestern" starring Kirk Douglas inspires Tiomkin to create expressive main theme, play it in both solo colors, grand orchestral tuttis. Rich melody perfectly suggests expansive outdoor settings. Interior scoring bristles with Indian conflict, pioneer adventure. Add romance, folk tunes, keelboats - get quite a ride! Mammoth booklet spotlights production, restoration efforts, provides literate reading while you listen. Loving presentation from original mono elements. Dimitri Tiomkin conducts. Bullseye!
