The Lost Weekend and The Night of The Hunter are important milestones in the history of American Cinema. Two powerful and disturbing films brilliantly acted and directed with great intensity and style. The Lost Weekend was the first motion picture to portray the devastating effects of alcoholism. The soundtrack (the first to deploy the use of the theramin) was composed by the great Hungarian Miklos Rozsa. Throughout, Rozsa's music is punctuated by the use of the theremin which adds to the disturbed, hallucinogenic mood of the film and gets across Milland¹s endless yearning for a drink. The Night of the Hunter, an outstandingly original fairytale nightmare features a memorable, chilling performance from Robert Mitchum. The soundtrack of The Night of the Hunter integrates the film's music with a reading by Charles Laughton of the story, beautifully written for the recording itself. The result is magical and not a little unsettling. El. 2006.
Pianist Walter Gieseking began his career as an accompanist and opera coach, but later on made a name for himself on the recital circuit as a proponent of modern composers such as Schoenberg, Busoni, Szymanowski, and Hindemith. This 8-CD set, however, focuses mainly on works by Mozart, Beethoven, Debussy, and Ravel, music for which Gieseking has come to be remembered as an unsurpassed interpreter.
