Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Peyton Place is considered only one of many jewels in composer Franz Waxman's crown (see also The Bride of Frankenstein, Sunset Boulevard, or Rebecca) but it is definitely one of the brightest. The RSNO has done wonders in polishing its gleam with this re-recording, which features four previously unavailable cues. Waxman studied the music of New England carefully in order to keep within what he saw as a story that took care of itself in many ways. Instead of highlighting drama (bar the shock of "The Rape"--a horrific blast of brass that triggers a turning point in both film and score), he portrays the sense of recent or imminent loss the small town suffers. In an overture "Main Title", all the melancholy melodies are presented at their loveliest. There are motifs specific to certain characters, but it is the town's own which will remain with the listener. "Entering Peyton Place" showcases it full of joyous wonder, before the prophetically skewed tone of "Going To School" takes things in a new direction. Bettering the book on which it is based, the film was a wake-up call to those clinging to an "American dream" ideal in the 1950s. --Paul Tonks
