VIVA ZAPATA! / THE 13TH LETTER

2 films américain de 1952 et 1951.

" Viva Zapata! is, without a doubt, one of the great scores of all time. The rhythms are explosive. The melodies are heartbreaking. Viva Zapata! was one of Jerry Goldsmith's favorite film scores. Goldsmith even conducted his own recording of the score, (as did Elmer Bernstein!) We are ecstatic about offering the world premiere release of the original motion picture soundtrack from Viva Zapata!, conducted by the legendary Alfred Newman and composed by the incomparable Alex North."

"As if that's not enough, we have filled out the CD with another Alex North premiere. The 13th Letter is a 1951 film noir directed by Otto Preminger. (...) North's score is brimming with invention. The composer's film career began with an absolutely astounding collection for film scores ... A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of A Salesman, Viva Zapata!, Les Miserables and The 13th Letter."
