For fillm music and film musical lovers, this afternoon at Noon, PST, La-La Land Records will begin taking orders for two rather special and unique film scores.
One is Alfred Newman's complete score to 1959's "The Diary of Anne Frank". This is the first legitimate release of the score. It will be a 2-CD set that features the complete score as heard in the film, and then the cues of the LP presentation that was issued on 20th-Fox (All You Hear is Beauty) Records.
As excited as I am about that, I am equally excited by the other: A 3-CD release of all the music from "Fiddler on the Roof". This should prove to be a stunning set...with all the cues in their original presentation. This is enormous for John Williams fans because his adaptation of the Broadway score to this film won him his first Academy Award.
Yes, it's going to be a nice day, now that I have remembered that.
