Press Release from Dragon's Domain:
Dragon’s Domain Records presents STAR TREK: A SYMPHONIC CELEBRATION, featuring music composed for STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES (1966-1969), performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Tony Bremner.
STAR TREK: A SYMPHONIC CELEBRATION presents music composed by Sol Kaplan, Samuel Matlovsky, Jerry Fielding, Joseph Mullendore and George Duning from all three seasons of the beloved show that starred William Shatner, Leonard Nimoy and DeForest Kelley.
It’s hard to imagine now as, for over a decade now, all of the music written and recorded for the original 1966 series has been available on CD and digital formats. But for more than a decade and a half after the show had been in cancelled in 1969, not a note of music from the show was available to listen to in any format. That began to change abruptly in 1985 when several record labels began to release Star Trek music. Producer John Steven Lasher was the first to release two volumes of Star Trek music during this time. He employed the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and had arrangements made for this symphonic ensemble, giving the scores a lusher sound and arranging the short cues into lengthy suites for an improved listening experience.
STAR TREK: A SYMPHONIC CELEBRATION presents music from the following episodes: ‘The Enemy Within’, ‘I, Mudd’, ‘Spectre Of The Gun’, ‘The Conscience Of The King’, ‘The Paradise Syndrome’ and ‘Is There No Truth In Beauty’.
Originally presented as suites across two separate volumes on vinyl and compact disc on Label X, those volumes have become scarce over the years. Dragon’s Domain Records is proud to bring these recordings back into the marketplace in a TWO DISC presentation with the suites separated and the music newly remastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland along with new liner notes written by author Jeff Bond including the classic notes written for these albums, featuring comments from the producers and composers Gerald Fried and George Duning.
