Music reviews of Gone With The Wind: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition)
Music Review: Rhino needs to re-release this PRONTO.
Rating: 5 Stars
Sadly, my exposure to this excellent 2-CD soundtrack set of Gone With The Wind has been from friends who own this set. Almost every note of music from this historic film score is present, including music not previously heard in the film. The sound quality is not always perfect, but considering these recordings are nearly 70 years old, it's forgiveable.
One glaring omission is the exclusion of the overture, intermission, entr'acte, and exit music tracks. True, they're merely 5 minute suites of score heard elsewhere in the film, but I happen to think they're excellent suites and should have been included here. Other than that, it's a perfect set.
However, I'd like to be able to enjoy a 2-Disc set of my own. I'd like to be able to actually touch it and hold it and see the beautiful box art in person. I'd like to be able to look at the disc art in person. I'd also love to be able to read the booklet that comes with the box. I own Rhino's 2-CD Wizard of Oz soundtrack, and I know this one's booklet will be just as excellent as the Oz booklet.
And yes, I can touch it, read the booklet, and flat out own the thing...if I'm willing to pay $80 or more on eBay or Amazon Marketplace. C'mon, Rhino, I know you're reading this. Stop acting like you work for Disney and keep your soundtracks, compilations, etc. in print. Not all of us can just afford to toss aside $100 for an out of print soundtrack. True, there's the single-disc version that's still in print, but why? Why not keep BOTH in print? Consumers LIKE choices. I'd surely pay $25-$30 for this soundtrack, as it's absolutely 100% worth it. But not $100+ from internet sellers. It's not fair to force the fans to choose between an affordable release that's incomplete and made really only for the casual fan, or an outrageously expensive OOP edition that has everything you could want.
Please bring this 2-Disc set back into print, Rhino! As FRank Kennedy would say, please don't leave us on tenderhooks!
Description of Gone With The Wind: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Deluxe Edition)
In the '30s, audio technology was relatively primitive, even for movies. So for years the original Max Steiner score for Gone With the Wind presumably went the way implied by its title, that is until the '60s when Selznick studios executors discovered the lost masters. Now, for the first time, this two-disc digital restoration presents the original Steiner soundtrack in its entirety. Besides the well-remembered "Tara's Theme," these tracks reveal the composer's penchant for dramatic underscoring with lushly romantic melodies, including motifs from Stephen Foster and other Old South strains. For soundtrack aficionados, the music satisfies despite the relatively primitive recording quality of the time. Also included is a 52-page illustrated booklet covering the novel's origins, the film's production, and asides about the actors. --Joseph LanzaGeneral CDs
