The Film Music of George Dreyfus - Vol. 2
featuring the unused Tender Mercies score!
... Move Records once again mines Screensound Australia's archive to showcase the wonderful film music of George Dreyfus ...
From the poignant music of John West in Power Without Glory (1976) to the multicultural mix of Waterfront (1983), Move Records is proud to present the second in its ongoing series of George Dreyfus film music CDs. Film music collectors will be particularly interested in the premiere appearance of Dreyfus' short score to the award-winning Bruce Beresford film Tender Mercies (starring Robert Duvall) which was ultimately replaced by silence. It has not been heard for nearly twenty years, and you won't find it on the anniversary DVD re-issue of the film - only here! With twenty-two tracks in all, you'll not only hear music from the above films but also for A Descant for Gossips (1983), Outbreak of Love (1980), Great Expectations (1986) and, of course, another version of the theme from Rush (1974), here performed by renowned flautist James Galway. Press quotes:
“Just why the Dreyfus Tender Mercies music was relegated to the cutting room floor shall only remain in Bruce Bereford's head ... But this track is worth the price of the CD alone. 9/10 stars.”
— Australian Soundtracks “most interesting ... appealing enough in its own right”— Jim Murphy, The Age - Green Guide “a most welcome CD”— New Classics, UK “a perfect example of the versatility of Dreyfus' work”— Chris Copas, The Examiner “an interesting selection ... colourful, evocative ... melodious music.”— Ian Lace, MusicWeb UK “excellent quality and variety ... very informative cover notes.”— Cliff Tucker, Radio Freemantle Audio previews:
