I'm VERY excited about this score. Michael Small was a very talented composer who has sadly been under-represented on CD and this is one of his better scores.

INTRADA Announces:

BLACK WIDOW
Composed and Conducted by MICHAEL SMALL

INTRADA Special Collection Volume 29

In 1987, the 20th Century Fox thriller BLACK WIDOW hit the screens,
starring Debra Winger and Theresa Russell. A deadly seductress marries a
series of wealthy men, murders them, collects their estates, and gets
away with her crimes thanks to her assumption of multiple identities.
But an equally clever female adversary from the Justice Department is
soon on her trail and becomes as bewitched as she is repelled by the
Black Widow.

Although Michael Small's score for BLACK WIDOW includes a virtuoso
display of woodwinds, vibes, harp, and percussion, strings are the stars
here: 22 violins, 10 violas, 10 cellos, and four basses. As Bernard
Herrmann did with his score for Psycho, Small utilizes the strings to
create a piercing psychological intensity. Small's dark, mordant music
helped define the sound of thrillers in the '70s and '80s, and this
release provides a generous helping of that ground-breaking sound.

This Intrada Special Collection release, edited and mastered from the
original stereo session masters, is limited to 1200 copies.
