Two Basil Poledouris scores on one CD! First up is straight reissue of previous expanded version of CHERRY 2000. Same contents as excellent Prometheus release, drawn from identical 1/4" 15 ips two-track stereo masters courtesy MGM. Crisp, solid sound quality is identical as well, though Intrada moves repeated cues (alternate mixes) to "extras" segment of CD. Listeners will find terrific outdoor music full of action with nods to Morricone western style. Second score on CD spotlights world premiere release of full (albeit brief) Poledouris score for medical dramedy HOUSE OF GOD, directed by Donald Wrye, starring Tim Matheson, Charles Haid, Bess Armstrong. With aid of agent Richard Kraft (who contributes to Daniel Schweiger-penned liner notes), Intrada presents score from actual 1/4" 15 ips two-track stereo master retained by composer. Poledouris creates feeling of medical student academia with touches of baroque writing, then adds elements of lyrical classicism, gentle drama, forward motion. Former score will appeal mostly to composer's fans who missed out on earlier edition, latter score will appeal to all his fans, however, introducing them to beautiful chamber-orchestra music from rarely seen film. Basil Poledouris conducts Hungarian State Symphony Orchestra on CHERRY 2000, conducts 40-piece orchestra made up of Los Angeles studio session players for HOUSE OF GOD. AVAILABLE UNTIL JUNE 3 2013 OR WHILE SUPPLIES LAST!
