I present to you another wonderful Intrada release that sadly has sold out virtually everywhere so fast that many people won't get a chance to buy a copy but through EBAY or other secondary markets. I took one listen to the samples on Intrada's web site and was mystefied and overwhelmed with emotion. Anyone who is familiar with the story of Helen Keller knows the powerful images this movie presents and, by extention, the powerful music composed by Laurence Rosenthal. There is a deep sense of struggle presented in this music as a little girl (struck blind and deaf when she was only 19 months old) attempts to grasp the intricacies of language and interact with the world around her. At the same time imagine the struggle of the teacher who is faced with such a task as teaching this little girl who is unable to understand things through traditional methods.

Further description from Intrada's Web page
Laurence Rosenthal's early landmark becomes available as CD, showcasing highly sensitive side of famous veteran composer. Oscar-winning Arthur Penn drama from famous William Gibson play about Annie Sullivan working with blind, deaf Helen Keller stars Anne Bancroft, Patty Duke in career-defining roles. Rosenthal creates incredibly intricate music that helps unfold mysteries, pains, ultimate joys of this incredible story. Climactic sequence at water pump is an all-time masterpiece of movie music scoring. CD presented in newly mastered assembly, prepared from composer's own first generation 1/4" mono tapes, the best surviving master elements available. Gorgeous project, courtesy of MGM, preserves one of the sixties greatest scoring triumphs! Laurence Rosenthal conducts members of New York Philharmonic. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 1000 copies!

If by some rare chance you can find a copy for yourself in an online store after listening, I highly suggest you snag it! As always, the liner notes are a worthwhile read. There are some interesting bits of information in the notes that will satisfy the curious. (Side Note: I have taken the time to properly tag the MP3 version this time as I received a few complaints the last time from people who were used to my tagging from before I became lossless only. However, with this Lossless version only 150mb I suggest you listen to it in lossless!!!)

This really is one the the masterpieces from the 1960s. Right there with TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD. The film was an emotional roller-coaster. To think that its two stars performed the play nearly every night! Anne Bancroft, always a dynamic actress, remarked this film did NOTHING for her career. It was considered art and art doesn't sell. The Graduate on the other hand was a $$$$$ maker.

Thanks again for this rarity that was so unfortunately limited in its limited release...

Indeed it does! You are a true miracle worker ;)

Yeah, the stuff that sells out should be shared the most :) I don't see this getting a re-issue anytime soon.

There are some scores that just slip notice. This one didn't even get nominated for an Academy Award. That year Lawrence of Arabia won. Not that the AA is any guide line for consistent true reward. This being a black & film many of the youth of today aren't interested... this recording is offered on eBay... the FSMers buy in bulk hoping to cash in big time. I doubt this will show up in the used bins at stores. The soundtrack sections are more pitiful than the classical and there is no profit in selling old discs anymore. So this is a special gift to all.

Re-upload plase :) Thanks !

MP3 Re-uploaded.

Thanks a lot Sirus !!!
