Tracks: 14
Time = 42:57
CD from Belgium
Oft-requested premiere of original soundtrack to John Huston WWII P.O.W. drama with Sylvester Stallone, Michael Caine. Bill Conti anchors with two main melodic ideas: requisite marching theme in best WWII manner plus inspired variant symbolizing quest for freedom subtext. In between are dynamic passages for escape preparations, riveting montage cues for game itself. Tour-de-force highlights: hair-raising French horn lick ascending into stratosphere during "Team Outing", rousing sixteenth-note brass tutti that climaxes "Krauts on a Roll". CD offers complete score in crisp stereo sound courtesy original mixer Dan Wallin, album producer Ford Thaxton, engineer James Nelson. Bill Conti conducts. Bullseye!
