レビュー (Amazon)This album is part of the series devoted to classic film music recorded by Charles Gerhardt in the 1970s and early 80s. Most albums featured particular composers but several concentrated on music written for the great Hollywood stars. There are albums for Errol Flynn, Bette Davis and this musical tribute to Humphrey Bogart, centred on a suite of Max Steiner's endlessly evocative music from
Casablanca. Gerhardt brilliantly distils the essence of the classic wartime romance, capturing the most famous, timeless moments, before presenting music from a further 11 of the star's films. In fact the album is almost as much a homage to Steiner as Bogart, for he scored seven of the 12 featured films, and makes a particularly powerful impression with suites from
Key Largo and
The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The much under-rated composer Frederick Hollaender is represented by
Sabrina, followed by Victor Young's memorably moving love theme from
The Left Hand of God and Miklos Rozsa's fiery "Main Title" from
Sahara. Finally, there are two films scored by Franz Waxman:
To Have and Have Not leads to a superbly crafted suite of his intensely dramatic music for
The Two Mrs. Carrolls. With excellent sound, fine performances and informative notes, the album is ideal for anyone with a love of the classic sound of Hollywood.
