Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Franz Reizenstein' s first film score for Hammer's The Mummy (1959) is a remarkably assured piece of composition. This is a very melodic score, with a consistent undertone of menace. And the real joy is in not hearing any sort of Hollywoodisation of Egyptian music. Instead the British setting for archaeologist John Banning (Peter Cushing, of course) inspired some lovely passages. The love theme for the resurrected Kharis (Christopher Lee, of course) is a highly memorable piece passed between instruments and is at its best with chorus (as in "The Mummy Sees Isobel As Ananka"). There was a preview, if you will, on the Hammer Film Music Collection, Volume 1--enough to whet the appetite for a full release. Expanded upon, this theme sees no end of guises in-between the measured shock chords for the results of the Mummy's curse. "Buried Alive" or "The Mummy's Final Attack" naturally build dramatic tension, but like Lee's sympathetic portrayal, it's in the tragedy of love lost across the ages that the music finds its voice. --Paul Tonks
