Music reviews of Jason and the Argonauts
Music Review: Jason and the Argonauts CD review
Rating: 5 Stars
Having been a life-long fan of Bernard Herrmann's music for film and the concert hall, I feel that his score for Jason and the Argonauts is his finest achievement for films that he wrote music for. During my tenure as a graduate student in music theory and composition, I wrote a research paper on Herrmann's score for JASON, and had a once-in-a lifetime opportunity to study the original conductor's score for Jason, at the Davidson Library, at the University of Santa Barbara. His mastery of orchestration still astounds me, for aside from being one of the greatest composers that America has ever produced, as an orchestrator, his highly imaginative pairing of instruments for full dramatic and aesthetic potential is unparalleled in film music, indeed, music in general. This recording by Bruce Broughton perfectly and masterfully captures the essence of this film score, and of Mr. Herrmann's original intentions, as it was decided by Mr. Broughton to retain the original timings that Mr. Herrmann used during the recording sessions for the film. I cannot recommend it enough.
Description of Jason and the Argonauts
Exciting, colorful and gigantic score for the fantasy film with special effects by Ray Harryhausen. Lengthy, spectacular re-recording features all of the music for Herrmann's various outlandish orchestral requirements, such as the huge brass section (including four tubas!) for the giant bronze statue Talos and multiple harps plus expanded woodwinds for the flying Harpies. Prepared from Herrmann's own original manuscripts and magnificently recorded in stunning detail. Bruce Broughton conducts the Sinfonia Of London.Pop CDs
