    II. ROGER FEIGELSON'S PICK OF THE WEEK, Etc.__________

    MISCELLANIA:

    You know, I've met a lot of soundtrack collectors in my time, and most of you are a
    pretty cool lot. However, there's a handful of vocal collectors who really just get on my
    nerves. Actually they get on the nerves of many soundtrack album producers as well.
    Unfortunately, it's these collectors that are giving the rest of you good people a bad
    rap.

    I know you want the example that has triggered this tirade. Just a few days ago, Film
    Score Monthly announced their latest release, BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE
    APES, a score of which I'm particularly fond. On rec.music.movies, no sooner did the
    announcement get posted, did people pounce. Comments like, "When will FSM get
    back to releasing music?" Let's look at the arrogance behind such statements. It can be
    translated into: "This title is of no interest to ME, and therefore Film Score Monthly
    should not have wasted time with it." There is a certain set of collectors who seem to
    think the world revolves around them and that labels should only release scores that are
    of interest to them. Of course, that will never happen. Nor should it. Actually, nor is it
    possible. I don't like the score to OMEGA MAN, and I know I'm in the minority. But
    I applaud FSM for releasing it, because I know that people have been looking for it for
    years. I would never make a statement that a label should not release a score, unless I
    thought it was a particularly bad move from a business perspective.

    Fortunately, in the case of BENEATH THE PLANET OF THE APES, many people
    chimed in about how excited they were about it. For those who are ambivalent or
    disappointed, I say just have a cream soda, find something productive to put your
    energy into, and wait until the next release of interest to you. It's bound to come along,
    and fairly rapidly.

    PICK OF THE WEEK:

    This week I have the pleasure of praising another Marco Polo release. This one is the
    GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN. This score is such a delight, and any opportunity to
    add a Hans Salter horror title to my collection is one not to be missed. The highlight of
    the score to me is Salter's use of woodwinds, particularly the English horn motif that is
    played by Ygor in the film as well as incorporated into the score. Now many of you
    may be wondering why this recording was done, especially since a generous portion
    was recorded on the HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN album conducted by Andrew
    Penny a while back. All I know is that John Morgan was not content with those
    performances, and has rerecorded both scores in fuller form. I realize some of you may
    not be motivated to pick up this release if you have the Penny recording, but from my
    first pass through, this recording does seem lively. If John Morgan is out there, perhaps
    he can comment on some of the differences and what he was hoping to accomplish in
    this new recording that was not present in the first recording.

    This album also contains a 15 minute suite from SHERLOCK HOLMES AND THE
    VOICE OF TERROR by Frank Skinner, and some shorter selections, including SON
    OF DRACULA.

    Thanks for the nice words, Roger.
    The first album I reconstructed music for was indeed Music for Frankenstein back in 1991. This disc was released in 1992. It contained suites from Ghost of Frankenstein and House of Frankenstein. I was not involved with anything other than orchestrating the music. When I completed my job, I sent the music to Europe to have parts copied, with a cassette of the music from the film so whatever conductor Marco Polo picked would have a sense of style, phrasing, tempi, etc. I guess the conductor didn't listen to or get my cassette because the performance wasn't too idiomatic. Also, since there was no one at the recording sessions that really new the music, a lot of copyist mistakes got into the recordings.
    After gaining trust and more control over these recordings from Marco Polo, I vowed that someday I would make this first CD obsolete. Our wonderful writer, Bill Whitaker was instrumental in nagging me about a complete recording of HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN. So two years after this first recording, with Bill Stromberg in place as conductor and the wonderful Moscow Symphony, we did a complete recording of HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN (Salter and Dessau), which I was very pleased with.

    Last year we had the opportunity of doing a better and longer version of GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN. We pretty much did the entire score, like HOUSE, but I wanted to fill up the album with other Universal delights, so we also did the complete original score that Frank Skinner wrote for Sherlock Holmes and the Voice of Terror, as well as tidbits from other Universal horrors of the period.

    Frankly I don't like going back and redoing the same things over and over again, but in this case, I didn't want these two marvelous scores to be only known through an inferior performance.

    We have been back with Moscow on our last four albums, but for this current release and the Roy Webb CD due out next month, we went to Bratislava, as political conditions in Russia were a bit dicey at the time. This orchestra is a fine one and was especially well suited for the Roy Webb music, with its chamber music quality.

    John
