Dean soundtrack melange has better version.......2005-08-16

The five cuts from EAST OF EDEN and the four cuts from REBEL were lifted directly from the film soundtrack music masters, but pressed onto lp and 45 rpm in mono only. The three pieces from GIANT are poor. These pieces had to be short in order to fit on 45 rpm formats as well as lp, so no more than 3.5 minutes from each cut could be recorded onto the vinyl pressings.

You can find all the music from EDEN and REBEL presented here plus lots more from both films' musical tracks in the album A TRIBUTE TO LEONARD ROSENMAN. John Adams conducts the London Sinfonietta, perfectly capturing the original orchestrations and tempi -it's like listening to the film's track, but in full stereo and you get lots more music for your money. Stick to that one and leave this one alone.

Really great movie music!.......2003-06-25

Without any doubt, James Dean is and will be one of the most remembered actors in a whole galaxy of movie stars.
Although his career covered only three feature movies, they still stand as classics, and so does the music!
For the first two features "East Of Eden" and "Rebel Without A Cause", the producers turned to Leonard Rosenman, who (although these were some of his first works) created outstanding scores for both.
While "East Of Eden", JD's first major movie, is an outstanding symphonic work (based on the never-forgotten main theme), "Rebel Without A Cause" includes more jazzy tones.
Warner-veteran Dimtri Tiomkin scored the final of the three features, "Giant". Although I regard all three scores among my favorite soundtracks, I think, "Giant" is the most outstanding. Tiomkin's variations of the three main themes (Giant, There Has Never Been Anyone Else But You, Jett Rink) are nostalgic treasures, nobody should miss! I can't wait, when they're finally going to release the entire score! The two cuts from ?Giant? included here are the ?Giant? theme and ?There Has Never Been Anyone Else But You?. These two tracks do not appear in the movie in this form, but were recorded to promote the film. As a bonus, the producers have added Mitch Miller?s ever-popular recording of ?The Yellow Rose Of Texas?.
Last, but not least, this album is the best possibility to get the soundtrack to these three great movies! Previous issues included drastical hiss and other noise or were taken directly from the music and effect track of the movies!

A Great Entry Disc For Modern Music.......2004-05-24

I can't think of a more "user friendly" way for those listeners who find Berg, Schoenberg & Webern somehow "too atonal" or "too intellectually complex" to get more exposed to that musical aesthetic. As just one example: the music Rosenman composed here for the Planetarium sequence in "Rebel Without A Cause," dealing with the creation of the Universe, is music of eloquent chaos - and it's right out of the 2nd movement from Alban Berg's Violin Concerto! Not a literal "lift and use" like film composer James Horner is so frequently guilty of (he used the slow mmvt. of the Shostakovich 5th in both "Patriot Games" and "Clear & Present Danger"), but more of an homage to Berg.

It boggles my mind that in 1955 film audiences in record numbers came to see this film about teenage alienation - and got exposed to the New Vienna School quite by accident! Adams' conducting is gorgeous, and the recorded sound is superb.

Rosenman was a pupil of both Schoenberg and Roger Sessions. I am also rather fond of his score for Ralph Bakshi's animated version of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." Rosenman went on to supervise the wonderful classical music selections used in Kubrick's film "Barry Lyndon." Kubrick here - and in "2001" and "The Shining" - probably did more for putting classical music in the mainstream than any other film director.

A word in Rosenman's defense.......2002-11-07

Michelle Kwan fans, I understand your need to warn others that this is not the cd you expected. But for those of you who are just interested in intelligent film music, it really doesn't get any better than this. Here's a man who really understands the needs of a film, what film music should do, and what music should do. Anybody interested in well constructed '50s film scores should pick this up immediately.

East of Eden.......2001-02-16

The album that supposedly has the East of Eden version used by Michelle Kwan is Beastmaster/Spash/Going Home.

Wrong CD.......1999-04-01

Not really a review. Just a clarification the piece skater Michelle Kwan used was composed by Lee Holdridge.

Passable, but not memorable.......1999-03-06

I was so excited while watching a tape of Michelle Kwan skating to "East of Eden". I had heard the music for years and could never remember the name. So, when I discovered there was a recording of it, I was enthralled. To my complete disappointment, the CD skips over the most lucid and poignant lines of the melody in favor of a sampling approach. I will probably never listen to the CD again. My only hope is Michelle will keep her program for a while.

The Ultimate Ambient/Electronic experience!.......1999-12-07

This album contains some of the most amazing and creative electronic music you're likey to hear anywhere! David Wright has a unique and highly melodious approach to his music, and like a magician weaving his magic, he cleverly interweaves his older album classics with new material, both effectively and effortlessly. Aided by Nik Smith on keyboard and guitar, this album will appeal to anyone who likes quality ambient/electronic music in the style of Oldfields "...Distant Earth" and "Enigma". What also comes accross loud and clear is that the musicians involved had a great time playing - You can almost touch the energy and feel of the live concert as it comes through your speakers.
