Announces: THE KREMLIN LETTER Composed and Conducted by ROBERT DRASNIN INTRADA Special Collection Volume 160 Intrada's latest release from the Twentieth Century Fox catalog features not only the debut release from the 1970 thriller The Kremlin Letter, but also features the first appearance of composer Robert Drasnin on the label. Featuring a 70-piece orchestra recorded in Italy, the score provides a unusual combination of an unabashed modernistic approach (think Bartok and Stravinsky) -- a perfect musical setting for a dark-toned thriller where building anxiety was paramount -- in addition to glittering Latin-flavored brass and folky ethnic strings. But Drasnin’s facility with a wide variety of outré musical genres is something more than a neat musical parlor trick. It’s what gives his score for The Kremlin Letter its remarkable range and depth of vision—and makes it such an enjoyable listen. Starring Richard Boone, Nigel Green, Patrick O'Neal and George Sanders, Barbara Parkins and Max Von Sydow, The Kremlin Letter is replete with twists, turns, crosses and double-crosses: a baroque tale about a team of eccentric spies who are contracted to retrieve a letter, drafted by a bungling American agent, that implicates the United States in a deadly pact with the Soviet Union against Red China. This release is limited to 1000 units. INTRADA Special Collection Vol. 160 Retail Price: $19.99 AVAILABLE NOW For track listing and sound samples, please visit http://store.intrada.com/s.nl/it.A/id.6928/.f |

Great, it's nice to see something by Robert Drasnin released. I remember he composed some nice music for the excellent Darren McGavin PI series, The Outsider, back in my old reel-to-reel recording from the TV days! Ordered, goodnight!

I know a lot of people are koo-koo for Cliffhanger but this obscure gem is what I'm really looking forward to. Should arrive tomorrow. Incidentally, Kremlin is misspelled in the subject line of the thread. Cock a doodle doo!  |
