Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
This album is part of the series devoted to classic film music recorded by Charles Gerhardt in the 1970s and early 80s. Most albums featured particular composers but several concentrated on music written for the great Hollywood stars. There are albums for Errol Flynn, Bette Davis and this musical tribute to Humphrey Bogart, centred on a suite of Max Steiner's endlessly evocative music from Casablanca. Gerhardt brilliantly distils the essence of the classic wartime romance, capturing the most famous, timeless moments, before presenting music from a further 11 of the star's films. In fact the album is almost as much a homage to Steiner as Bogart, for he scored seven of the 12 featured films, and makes a particularly powerful impression with suites from Key Largo and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The much under-rated composer Frederick Hollaender is represented by Sabrina, followed by Victor Young's memorably moving love theme from The Left Hand of God and Miklós Rózsa's fiery "Main Title" from Sahara. Finally, there are two films scored by Franz Waxman: To Have and Have Not leads to a superbly crafted suite of his intensely dramatic music for The Two Mrs. Carrolls. With excellent sound, fine performances and informative notes, the album is ideal for anyone with a love of the classic sound of Hollywood.--Gary S. Dalkin

Amazon.co.uk Review
Some films grow more popular with each passing year. The appeal of Casablanca has been interpreted in hundreds of ways, but one easily agreed-upon factor is its memorable soundtrack. Steiner's underscore is rich with melody and positive feeling. Naturally, the immediate musical association anyone makes is to the song "As Time Goes By". To this Steiner cannot lay claim. It was written by Herman Hupfeld for a 1930s Broadway show. Through endlessly inventive arrangements within the score, Steiner still makes it his own however--and that's where this album comes in. It's a loving restoration of something that was unthinkably almost lost. From the Warner archives, the score cues have been slotted in-between stretches of dialogue lifted off a print of the film. The chronological presentation of this method effectively turns this into an experience akin to having the picture turned off and just listening to the film. It wouldn't work for most films, but as its popularity grows, more and more people now have this chance to play it again. --Paul Tonks

4.0 out of 5 stars One of the best music scores in Hollywood cinemas, 2 Feb 2001
By A Customer
Casablanca the movie and its music has always been popular since the movie first released several decades back. The whole essense of the music was romance, mystery and the fear of war in the back ground. As time goes by, will always remain as classic.
