    LEGENDS OF THE FALL EXPANDED EDITION: OUR EXCLUSIVE REVIEW

    LEGENDS OF THE FALL EXPANDED EDITION: OUR EXCLUSIVE REVIEW

    On 19 April 1994, James Horner finished recording at Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra. He had just delivered one of the most lyrical and romantic pieces of music in his career: Legends Of The Fall. Exactly twenty-six years and two days later, at a time when the world is undergoing a profound crisis, Intrada, in collaboration with TriStar Pictures and Sony Music Entertainment has gifted us all a stellar two-disc deluxe edition, expanding the already generous original album to include the complete score and providing over 35 minutes of alternates, extended cues and film edits. Completists will[...]

    IT’S LOGICAL – EPISODE 2: FAREWELLS AND REUNIONS

    IT'S LOGICAL - EPISODE 2: FAREWELLS AND REUNIONS

    "It's logical" is a series of articles about the logical construction, the coherence, the visual, narrative, symbolic and emotional dimensions of the many and significant allusions and quotes that James Horner always peppered his work with.     Although it’ not the first Horner score that comes to mind, the music for 1989’s Dad is typically sentimental and overflowing with subtle emotions.

During this time, John gradually becomes aware that[...]

    EXPANDED EDITION OF A FAR OFF PLACE

    What a nice end-of-year gift! After the superb Gorky Park in September, Intrada’s leaders Douglass Fake and Roger Feigelson, offer us an extended version of A Far Off Place (1993) for the Christmas holidays. 35 minutes of unreleased music are presented to us in this beautiful new edition of 75 minutes, which is almost double the length of the original album! A Far Off Place was released in 1993, a remarkable year in James Horner’s career as ten films he scored were released that year in the United States. This exceptional amount can be first explained by the composer’s hyperactivity[...]

    LEGENDS OF THE FALL: AN ANALYSIS OF THE THEMES

    It has been exactly twenty years, since the period from 8 to 19 April 1994, when James Horner recorded at Abbey Road Studios with the London Symphony Orchestra, one of the most lyrical and romantic pieces of music in his career: Legends Of The Fall. This anniversary is an opportunity to return to this score, whose impact has preserved all its strength for two decades. After Glory (1989) and before Courage Under Fire (1996), the composer met up with the American director Edward Zwick for this adaptation of Jim Harrison's eponymous short novel, which brought together on screen Brad Pitt, Anthony[...]
