NIGHTCOMERS, THE

Label: Intrada Special Collection Volume 63
Date: 1972
Tracks: 23
Time = 40:12

World premiere of complete original soundtrack from intense Michael Winner prequel to Henry James' "Turn of the Screw", starring Marlon Brando. Jerry Fielding makes rare foray into horror genre, spotlights dynamic contrast between pastoral exterior of tale, violent interior. Elegant brass & woodwinds assist in former, strings are heart of latter. Fielding balances accessible harmonies for gentle scenes with dark, cerebral ones for perverse behaviors, violence, then finally turns score inside out with cold, atonal finish playing in total opposition to prim & proper beginning. Brilliant! Intrada CD presents entire score in sequence from original stereo session masters in superb condition. Authoritative notes from Nick Redman, dramatic graphics from Joe Sikoryak complete package. Jerry Fielding conducts. Special Collection release limited to 1500 copies! SOLD OUT!
