Dimitri Tiomkin is the subject at hand. His terrific score for Alfred Hitchcock’s Dial M For Murder to be more specific. And what a score it is! To bring it to vibrant life, Intrada has engaged the brilliance of Tiomkin authority Patrick Russ and the composer’s publisher to prepare the music for recording. Crowning this jewel of a project will be William T. Stromberg at the podium, conducting the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra. To fully realize this landmark Excalibur recording, we have launched our very first Kickstarter campaign. We invite you to join us in supporting our efforts!
Intrada has a proven track record with numerous previous Excalibur releases, ranging from Ivanhoe and Jason And The Argonauts to Rio Conchos and Spellbound, by composers such as Miklos Rozsa, Bernard Herrmann and Jerry Goldsmith. We have placed on our drawing board a number of incredible film score projects in need of the Excalibur treatment and your support will help us move those from the drawing board to the recording stages. Let’s all look forward to having at our fingertips brand new recordings of more Hitchcock scores including Strangers On A Train (Tiomkin), Shadow Of A Doubt (Tiomkin), The Man Who Knew Too Much (Herrmann), Saboteur (Frank Skinner) and I Confess (Tiomkin) as well as many other scores so deserving of our attention: Joan Of Arc (Hugo Friedhofer), Black Patch (Goldsmith), Face Of A Fugitive (Goldsmith), Kipling’s Jungle Book (Rozsa) and so many others. I can hear ‘em playing in my head already!
