BSX DIGITAL presents GONE WITH THE WIND: THE MAX STEINER COLLECTION VOL. 1, featuring music composed by Max Steiner for several films from his extensive filmography, including one of his best-known scores, for GONE WITH THE WIND.
GONE WITH THE WIND: THE MAX STEINER COLLECTION VOL. 1 features an authentic recording of the complete score authorized by the composer to the beloved 1939 epic film directed by Victor Fleming, starring Clark Gable, Vivien Leigh, Leslie Howard and Olivia de Havilland, featuring Muir Mathieson conducting the London Sinfonia and also includes music from A BILL OF DIVORCEMENT, CITY FOR CONQUEST, THE GREAT LIE, SARATOGA TRUNK, SO BIG, THEY DIED WITH THEIR BOOTS ON, THIS IS CINERAMA and NOW, VOYAGER.
Born on May 10th, 1888, Max Steiner was an Austrian composer and conductor who emigrated to America and became one of Hollywood's greatest musical composers. Steiner was a child prodigy who conducted his first operetta when he was twelve and became a full-time professional, proficient at composing, arranging, and conducting, by the time he was fifteen. Threatened with internment in England during World War I, he fled to Broadway; and in 1929 he moved to Hollywood, where he became one of the first composers to write music scores for films. He is often referred to as "the father of film music", as Steiner played a major part in creating the tradition of writing music for films, along with composers Dimitri Tiomkin, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Franz Waxman, Alfred Newman, Bernard Herrmann, and Miklós Rózsa.
Steiner composed over 300 film scores with RKO Pictures and Warner Bros., and was nominated for 24 Academy Awards: His filmography includes THE INFORMER, NOW, VOYAGER, AND SINCE YOU WENT AWAY, LITTLE WOMEN, JEZEBEL, CASABLANCA, THE SEARCHERS, A SUMMER PLACE and GONE WITH THE WIND, which ranked second on the AFI's list of best American film scores, and is the film score for which he is best known. He was also the first recipient of the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, which he won for his score for LIFE WITH FATHER. Steiner was a frequent collaborator with some of the best known film directors in history, including Michael Curtiz, John Ford, and William Wyler.
BSX Digital presents GONE WITH THE WIND: THE MAX STEINER COLLECTION VOL. 1, featuring music composed by Max Steiner. Originally released on vinyl by Stanyan and later as an early compact disc release by Rod McKuen, this compilation also includes bonus tracks produced by Tony Thomas and George Korngold, along with Tom Null and Alain Silver for Citadel Records. The music has been newly mastered by James Nelson at Digital Outland and retains original liner notes written by Tony Thomas and Alain Silver.
