THIEF WHO CAME TO DINNER, THE
Label: FSMCD Vol.12 No.10 Date: 1973 Tracks: 29 Time = 63:13
World CD premiere of Henry Mancini soundtrack to Bud Yorkin jewel thief caper with Ryan O'Neal, Jacqueline Bisset. Mancini offers flavorful, hip seventies-style score with degree of sophistication. Electric bass, synthesizer add to cool vibe. Particulary striking are numerous brass chordal passages filled with extremely complex harmonies. Mancini's harmonic vernacular could be very sophisticated as this score showcases! Light percussive beat underneath much of score adds pace, tempo. "Love Theme for Laura" demonstrates Mancini's gift for melody. FSM CD offers complete original 1973 album sequence from multi-track stereo masters, then generously augments with plethora of previously unreleased cues, also mixed from multi-track masters. Superb liner notes by Scott Bettencourt & Lukas Kendall offer insights to film production, scoring plus a roadmap for listeners wanting to program entire CD in film order. Henry Mancini conducts, scores a knockout! Limited edition of 3000 copies.
