THAT MAN FROM RIO - CLASSIC GEORGES DELERUE SCORE MAKES ITS CD DEBUT! Kritzerland is proud to present its newest limited edition CD - the original motion picture soundtrack to Philippe de Broca's classic That Man From Rio, with music by Georges Delerue. That Man From Rio hit movie screens in 1964 and was an instant sensation. A brilliant adventure comedy thriller, the film had it all - adventure, comedy, and thrills and plenty of them, plus the star power of Jean- Paul Belmondo in the lead, along with the stunningly beautiful Francoise Dorleac as his fiancé. Also on hand were Jean Servais and Adolfo Celi, both terrific in supporting roles. The film was shot on location in France, Rio de Janeiro and Brasilia (the city of the future, just then being built). The film was a huge success, especially in the United States, so much so that its screenplay was nominated for an Academy Award. The score was by de Broca's frequent collaborator, the great Georges Delerue. For That Man From Rio Delerue created one of his most delightful scores, one that perfectly accompanied the outrageous action on the screen. The score has so much variety and humor and melody and beauty, and in so many different styles - from pure adventure scoring to Brazilian rhythms (and some great songs), along with some hauntingly beautiful passages, and all in the classic Delerue style. The duo of de Broca and Delerue is a triumph of music and image working hand in hand. At the time of the film's release, two 45rpm EPs were released, one in France and one in the UK, both comprised of different material and amounting to approximately twenty minutes of music. Both were very hard to find and became very sought after collector's items. Universal France issued what they called a "soundtrack" CD - that had only six cues, three of which weren't from the soundtrack at all, but were re-recordings conducted by Alexandre Desplat. The reasons for this, as stated in their booklet, was that the cupboard was bare for Rio tapes in Delerue's personal archive. Happily, the cupboard wasn't bare for Kritzerland and we are thrilled to present every note of Georges Delerue's marvelous score, all taken from the original tapes. In addition to the complete score, we've included a few things that didn't make the film, as well as some alternate versions of cues, where tempos were different. The CD runs over seventy minutes. Some of the cues are mono, some stereo and are presented here exactly as they were recorded.

AT LONG LAST - ANYA! THE MUSICAL MUSICAL! Kritzerland is proud to present the first ever CD release of the Original Cast Recording of Anya, with a score by Robert Wright and George Forrest (based on themes by Sergei Rachmaninoff). Anya, the musical version of Anastasia, opened on Broadway at the end of 1965 at the Ziegfeld Theater and lasted a mere fifteen performances. Nobody would have predicted that a new musical by the team that wrote Kismet (here doing to Rachmaninoff what in Kismet they did to Borodin), written by George Abbott and Guy Bolton, and direction by George Abbott would end up being such a troubled production and such a huge flop. Happily, United Artists Records went ahead and recorded the cast album and just as happily we're thrilled to finally bring it to CD. Whatever the show's problems (it's been revised several times since), the album is filled with glorious music, excellent performances, and is indeed a most musical musical. The Rachmaninoff "themes" are masterfully used by Wright and Forrest (no one was better at that sort of thing than they were), and Don Walker's orchestrations and Harold Hastings' musical direction make the most out of all of those gorgeous melodies. The wonderful cast includes Constance Towers, Michael Kermoyan, Lillian Gish, and Irra Petina, as well as the still alive and kicking George S. Irving. New liner notes are by Walter Willison (Tony-nominee for Two By Two), who was very close to Wright and Forrest. Both CDs are limited editions of 1000 copies only. When they're gone, they're gone. The price is $19.98 plus shipping. CDs will ship the second week of April - however, preorders placed directly through Kritzerland usually ship one to three weeks ahead of the street date. To place an order, see the cover, or hear audio samples, just visit Kritzerland

Sei Twisted Nerve hat Kritzerland irgendwie so nen faden Beigeschmack, was die Soundqualität angeht! Ich meine auch Bridge at Remagen von FSM ist nicht astrein, aber die Jungs von FSM stehen dazu und begründen es!

[Mink]

is mir alles egal! ABENTEUER IN RIO ist DER score von Delerue! muss ich haben!!!!!!! YIPIIIIEEEE!!! danke für den hinweis!

[Bernd Junker]

Das hat man davon, wenn man zwei Tage nicht mehr online war: SOLD OUT

Bei SAE kann man das gute Stück allerdings noch bestellen.

[BigMacGyver]

Na das war knapp. Beinahe hätte ich die verkaufsgeschwindigkeit dieses titels unterschätzt.

Aber kritzerland ist mir auch so ein label was stehts möglichst wenige exemplare presst damit der hype einer niedrigen auflage den verkauf pusht, egal ob eine solche sinn macht oder nicht. Diesen delerue score hätte man jedenfalls gut 500 exemplare mehr widmen können und geschadet hätte es niemandem.

[Beaverhausen]

.. oder auch nicht. SAE warnt schon seine Kunden mit dem Zusatz: " *Low Quantity Alert!*"

Na super. Langsam festigt sich der Eindruck, dass es wohl irgendwelche Bootlegs sind, die Sie auf CD pressen... Wie sieht so etwas eigentlich rechtlich aus?

[Bernd Junker]

Wie kommst Du darauf, daß es irgendwelche Bootlegs sind? Nur weil die CD scheinbar begehrt ist und somit fast komplett vergriffen ist?

[Thomas Nofz]

Uschi... "Low QUANTITY" und nicht Low QUALITY!

"Low Quantity Alert" heißt: Beeilung, Leute, es sind nur noch wenige Exemplare da!

[BigMacGyver]

Gut, thomas. Ich habe uschis statement erst garnicht einordnen können

Anyways, less than 20 sind es mittlerweile bei sae und von bruce kimmel persönlich habe ich im fsm forum sogar eine antwort auf meine frage nach der limitierung bekommen:

It's ultimately a business decision based on what I sell at our website. If that number were to sufficiently rise at some point (it's been very steady thus far), then maybe I'll be comfortable upping the number, but upping the number also ups the costs.

Laut Kimmel hängt die limitierung also zu einem großen teil davon ab, wieviele einheiten über die kritzerland seite direkt verkauft werden können. Wenn mehr leute also direkt dort bestellen und die durch höhere auflagen entstehenden kosten so decken, wird es in zukunft höhere auflagen geben.
