Upcoming CDs

Maybe coming for its 52nd anniversary (as opposed to its originally planned 50th anniversary release in 2015)

And here comes the bad news. April Fools!! No, I jest. The release is real. But I just heard from the plant this morning that the slip case with the fancy gold foil lettering for the title will take an extra TWO WEEKS. So, I apologize for the late breaking disappointing news, but I will try to give out additional info to help us all get through two more weeks of waiting.

In the meantime, not nearly as epic we do have another release to put in its place. This one is an oddball because it's a reissue of a title still in print in our catalog. But Doug and I both felt something things needed to be changed. So here you go.

No preorders on TC, you'll have to wait. The reissue won't necessarily appeal to people who already have it. It's essentially the same contents. I'm sure a few people who were unhappy will spring for the upgrade, but we figured we could improve it so we'll out what we currently had with a better version and keep selling until interest runs out. So it will be a minor release.

Captain Future wrote
What the hell do they put on 6 CDs? The score, some album re-recording, outtakes, the Man Theme sung by Adele, Justin Bieber and Paul McCartney?

Honestly to me the music always sounded more like a western than a Biblical epic. Yet I do have a fantastic suite somewhere that I need to find.

Edit: I found two. One by Prague/Raine on their dedicated album and the other by Cincinnati/Kunzel on "Hollywood's Greatest Hits Vol. 2".

L'HOMME PRESSÉ • LE BEAUJOLAIS NOUVEAU EST ARRIVÉ...
Original Motion Picture Soundtracks
Music Composed by Carlo Rustichelli

World Premiere CD release.
8-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Gilles Loison.
Limited Collector’s Edition.

Ref: MBR-098
Release Date: September 12, 2016

In collaboration with Gruppo Sugar, Music Box Records is pleased to present on the same CD two original motion picture soundtracks composed by Carlo Rustichelli: L'Homme pressé (The Hurried Man, 1977) directed by Édouard Molinaro and Le beaujolais nouveau est arrivé (The New Beaujolais Wine Has Arrived, 1978) directed by Jean-Luc Voulfow.

Based on the novel by the French writer Paul Morand, L’Homme pressé tells the story of a busy Paris antiques dealer who struggles against the running of time by living each moment of his existence to the fullest. The film stars Alain Delon, Mireille Darc, Michel Duchaussoy and Monica Guerritore. The score by Carlo Rustichelli has a strong melancholic theme coming in a range of variations.

Le Beaujolais nouveau est arrivé is a French-style road movie, loosely based on René Fallet’s eponymous novel. The film stars Jean Carmet, Michel Galabru and Pierre Mondy. Carlo Rustichelli composed a recurring tune (a very light ritornello) that follows the trio’s wanderings all along the film.

The CD features the two expanded scores previously released on LPs, in their first-ever complete presentations. The 8-page booklet features an essay by Gilles Loison discussing both films and scores.

LA CINÉSCÉNIE DU PUY DU FOU (1982-2002)
Original Music from the Light and Sound Show
Music Composed and Conducted by Georges Delerue

New remastered expanded edition.
Over 70 minutes of music.
16-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Florent Groult.

Ref: MBR-100
Release Date: September 12, 2016

In collaboration with the Grand Parc du Puy du Fou and Colette Delerue, Music Box Records is very proud to present on CD the complete soundtrack for the spectacular night-time sound and light show La Cinéscénie du Puy du Fou (1982-2002) composed by Georges Delerue.

The show was composed of a huge series of choreographed scenes evoking the history of the Vendée region in Western France and its inhabitants over 700 years, from the Middle Ages to the early 20th Century, relating the fantasized and idealized fate of the Maupilliers, a rural family that has actually existed. The park is a model of cultural success and financial independence, and has been awarded several prizes, among which a Thea Classic Award for Best Park in Los Angeles in 2012 and an Applause Award in Orlando in 2014.

The visitors to Le Puy du Fou in Vendée could admire Georges Delerue's magnificent music between 1982 and 2002. As this epic saga spread over several centuries, it allowed the composer to explore different musical styles. It goes without saying that Georges Delerue's creation was a perfect display of his knowledge of 'period' music. This CD release is itself intended as an experience that will allow everyone to relish the evocative power of this inspired score that has entranced for twenty years each and every spectator of the Cinéscénie du Puy du Fou. From the merriest scene to the most tragic episode, it expresses the whole scope of the quintessence of Georges Delerue’s musical talent: colorful music for full orchestra and chorus with composer's trademark melancholy string gift, gorgeous musical portrait in finest historical idiom, Regal fanfares, flavorful period dances and festivity scenes, disturbing strings suspense, aggressive drama with powerful brass and choir, tuneful melodies for flute over strings, harp, accordion and choral majesty... The music is pure Delerue at his very best.

To mark its 100th CD album and to celebrate its 5th anniversary in 2016, Music Box Records is very delighted to present this complete presentation of one of the most prestigious scores composed and conducted by Georges Delerue, one of our beloved French composers. This present edition has been fully remastered from the original master tapes and features all the music written by the composer (without the narration). The package includes a 16-page booklet with pictures of recording sessions and liner notes by Florent Groult, discussing the creation of the famous historical theme park and the music.

THE SERPENT (NIGHT FLIGHT FROM MOSCOW) (Expanded)
Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Composed and Orchestrated by Ennio Morricone

New remastered expanded edition supervised by Claudio Fuiano.
72 minutes of music, including 2 unreleased tracks.
8-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Sylvain Pfeffer.
Limited Collector’s Edition.

Ref: MBR-099
Release Date: September 12, 2016

In collaboration with Warner Chappell, Music Box Records is pleased to present on CD the expanded reissue of the original motion picture soundtrack of Henri Verneuil's Le Serpent (also known as Night Flight from Moscow, 1973) composed by Ennio Morricone and conducted by Bruno Nicolai.

Based on Pierre Nord’s book Le Treizième Suicidé (The Thirteenth Who Committed Suicide, 1969), this Cold War spy movie tells the story of Russian Colonel Vlassov (Yul Brynner), a high ranking KGB official who defects to the West while in France and delivers the Western Intelligence services with information on possible traitors in high places of the Western Security apparatus. Also starring Henry Fonda, Dirk Bogarde, Philippe Noiret, Michel Bouquet and Virna Lisi.

This music perfectly transcribes the cold and emotionless world of the secret services. With Le Serpent, Ennio Morricone gave French cinema one of his most original scores, a mix of radical atonality and exacerbated romanticism.

Supervised and mastered by Claudio Fuiano, this present edition features the same content as the latest CD issued by GDM in 2009. Some slight sound defects from the original master tapes have been reduced and restored, and two previously unreleased tracks have been added to this new album. The CD comes with an 8-page booklet with liner notes by Sylvain Pfeffer, discussing the film and the score.

What an odd combination. An Elfman pupil getting cobilling with a Zimmer pupil. Never thought I'd see the day.

Also, before this spring the idea of that score would have bored me to tears, but after hearing the unbelievably delicious Eddie The Eagle, I am extremely excited to hear what Mr. Margeson might have bouncing around in his head when he's free to step outside the stereotypical 21st-century Remote Control sound...

For those who may be interested, we have received a return of some sold out/out-of-stock titles from one of our distributors but in very limited quantities:

LE PARIA : 20
ENRAGÉS (RABID DOGS) : 12
REINDEER GAMES : 9
LES VOLETS CLOS : 25

Quartet Records is glad to present its 5 new releases:

A MONSTER CALLS
Music Composed and Conducted by Fernando Velázquez
Availability date: 09/26/2016


Quartet Records, Back Lot Music, Universal Pictures and Focus Features present the soundtrack album of the eagerly anticipated new collaboration between director J.A. Bayona and composer Fernando Velázquez, after their two previous collaborative triumphs: The Orphanage and The Impossible.

Bayona directs this fantastic drama based on the bestselling and acclaimed book A Monster Calls, written by Patrick Ness (who also wrote the script for the film). Felicity Jones (The Theory of Everything), Liam Neeson (Schindler's List), Sigourney Weaver (Aliens), Toby Kebbel (Fantastic Four), Geraldine Chaplin (Doctor Zhivago) and young Lewis MacDougall (Pan: Journey to Neverland) star in this moving story about a boy seeking the help of a tree monster to cope with his mom's terminal illness.

Fernando Velazquez’s masterfully written score focuses on the character of young Connor, his fears, doubts and feelings. The music encompasses tenderness, sadness and nostalgia, with dramatic passages and soaring climaxes, including powerful percussive passages—masterfully orchestrated and full of delicate nuances. The composer conducts the prestigious Basque Symphony Orchestra and the Orfeón Donostiarra choir.

The album features an original song composed by the famous British group Keane, the only English band other than Radiohead, Oasis and The Beatles to have two LPs on the Q magazine list of the 100 best British albums of all time.



JUSTE LA FINDE DU MONDE
Music Composed by Gabriel Yared
Availability date: 09/15/2016


Quartet Records, Idol and MK2 present the original soundtrack for the new collaboration between Gabriel Yared (Betty Blue, Chocolat, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Oscar winner for The English Patient), and Xavier Dolan (Mommy, I Killed My Mother), following their first film together—the thriller Tom at the Farm.

Juste la fin du monde, awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, is adapted from a play by Jean-Luc Lagarce. The plot concerns an afternoon in the family of a young writer who, after 12 years away, returns to his hometown to announce his imminent death.

Gabriel Yared provides a bittersweet, romantic, deeply nostalgic score, which was recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London.

The album also includes five songs by Camille, Blink-182, Grimes, Exotica and Moby.



SPAIN IN A DAY
Music Composed and Conducted by Alberto Iglesias
Availability date: 09/26/2016


Quartet Records, MediaPro and RTVE present the original soundtrack album composed by three-time Academy Award-nominated composer Alberto Iglesias (The Constant Gardener, Julieta, The Two Faces of January, The Kite Runner) for the film documentary Spain in a Day, directed by Isabel Coixet.

Based on Ridley Scott’s Life in a Day, the film Spain in a Day comes to Spain after the success of other adaptations in countries such as Great Britain, Japan and Italy. Currently, the project is also in production elsewhere, such as in Germany and the UAE. The film chronicles 24 hours in the life of Spanish people, created with 404 videos selected from the more than 22,600 filmed by thousands of anonymous Spaniards on October 24, 2015.

The music links all of the stories, and Alberto Iglesias offers a kind of ballet—dancing with rhythm and excitement between the different chapters—classy and fabulously written for an ensemble of 17 musicians.

With echoes of Rota and Delerue, the sweepingly melodic and deeply emotional music sincerely and respectfully represents the joie de vivre of the Spanish people. This score is a great surprise and certainly one of the great efforts of the composer.



CEZANNE ET MOI
Music Composed by Éric Neveux
In stock


Quartet Records and Pathé present the original soundtrack written by brilliant composer Eric Neveux (Standing Tall, The Final Lesson, Gazelles) for Danièle Thomson’s new film, starring Guillaume Canet and Guillaume Galliene.

Thompson, a prestigious writer (The Adventures of Rabbi Jacob, Queen Margot, Academy Award nominated for Cousin Cousine) and director (La bûche, Jet Lag, Change of Plans), directs Cézanne et moi, which tells the true history of the friendship between Paul Cézanne and Emile Zola. They left Aix-en-Provence for Paris and quickly became part of the art scene in Montmartre and Batignolles. They hung out in the same places, slept with the same women. They spat on the bourgeoisie (who spat back). They went skinny-dipping, drank absinthe and starved—only to overeat. Sketched models by day, caressed them by night... Traveled thirty hours by train just to watch a sunset... Now, Paul is a painter and Emile a writer. Glory has passed Paul by, but Emile has it all: fame, money, the perfect wife (whom Paul once loved). They judge each other, admire each other, confront each other. They lose touch, meet up again, like a couple who cannot stop loving each other.

Eric Neveux provides a beautiful, sometimes Impressionistic score, a pastoral symphonic poem. The score was recorded at Air Studios in London, with orchestra under the baton of Alastair King.



GERNIKA
Music Composed and Conducted by Fernando Velázquez
In stock


Quartet Records presents the original soundtrack album of the new collaboration between Fernando Velázquez (Mama, Zipi y Zape y la isla del capitán, Hercules, Crimson Peak) and director Koldo Serra, following their collaboration on The Backwoods, which was also Velázquez’s first score!

Gernika takes place in the Basque Country of Northern Spain during the country’s turbulent internal struggle in the lead up to World War II. Focused around a love story between journalists caught in times of war, social turmoil and competing politics, Gernika narrates the infamous bombing of the city, which would later inspire Picasso’s eponymous painting. Henry (James D’Arcy), a jaded American journalist who lives off the glory he achieved as a wunderkind journalist during WWI, is covering the northern front of the Spanish Civil War when he meets Teresa (Maria Valverde). An editor of the Republican press fighting for democracy against the advance of Franco and his fascist forces, Teresa finds herself courted by her boss, Vasyl (Jack Davenport), a Russian adviser to the Republican government, yet attracted to the dormant idealism of Henry. The film is centrally set in the press office, revolving around the daily hustle and bustle of international journalists, all trying their best to record the true nature of events transpiring in the world around them.

Composer Fernando Velázquez conducts the Budapest Orchestra and Chorus in an impressive full epic symphonic score, 75 minutes of pure film music composed as in the good old days—romantic, melodic, with a radiant love theme, exciting action music, and a 25-miunute tour-de-force piece for orchestra and choir which accompanies without stop the bombing massacre of Gernika.
