Track Listing:

Note: tracks 1-28 are sourced from my own copy of the SUPER RARE Silva Screen edition of the score which runs an additional 16 minutes longer than the Restless Records edition and features entirely alternate arrangement and mixing. Naturally, with the Silva Screens edition sounding better I opted to use that for the main program. Originally, the Silva Screen album was 13 tracks and presented the score in extended suites versus the Restless Records edition which presented the tracks in a split-up fashion. I split the Silva Screen tracks up and (for the most part) arranged them into their appropriate chronological order. I did not have a copy of the film handy to guide me unfortunately (still waiting for my Bluray to come in) but there is a user on YouTube who re-ordered the Restless Records album into chronological order so I used that as a template and arranged the pre-existing cues in that order then sprinkled the new tracks across the set based on the Wikipedia plot summary. It’s been a very long time since I’ve seen the film but I think for the most part the play order I’ve arranged should be more than sufficient. Some tracks may not be in their proper order; the track "Harrison’s Death" for instance I had to guess on. I’m not even sure if that’s where that cue goes but when my copy of the Bluray arrives, I’ll know for sure.

As a special bonus, I’ve included the entire 20 track Restless Records edition for reference from tracks 29-48. I know for sure that the track "Don Juan Triumphant/Travel Through Time" on this edition is the film version versus the Silva Screen version which sounds to be an entirely new version of the entire track. This album is from an analog source so the sound quality is not as crisp and defined as Silva Screen’s digital edition but was the only album I had to allow me to hear this magnificent score. The Restless Records edition is also quite RARE so snag both of these up while they last.

As the album art suggests, this is essentially "Freddy at the Opera" but is far better than you would expect. Robert Englund was not happy with marketing of this film as it would not allow him to shake his Freddy persona for a second and even went as far as to add additional scarring that doesn’t even appear in the film to better represent Freddy on the film’s theatrical and home video posters/packaging. Some say this was one of the closest in tone to Leroux’s original novel and despite what others have said negatively about it, I’ve grown rather fond of it.

I had never heard of composer Misha Segal prior to enjoying this album and over 10 years since first popping in the Restless Records album, I’m finding new reason to appreciate his music with the Silva Screen release. Check both releases out as they both offer their own charms and probably won’t be around forever.

Enjoy!

thanks cody

Nice work Cody, I have already made my own "special edition" years ago of this combiing this two releases, it is practically the same as yours. It�s a pity, that complete score has not been released yet, Misha�s music is stunning. Mabye, one day…

Thank you Cody!

Some tracks in your tracklist are not in correct chronological order. Here is my own tracklist created as a mix of this two scores (each has some cues, that are not in in second one). I cut some parts and used it separately (so there are no suites or medleys), so this should be correct chronological order as heard in the film:

01 – Phantom Of The Opera – Main Title Theme (3:08)
02 – The Cursed Manuscript (1:11)
03 – Don Juan Triumphant (1:02)
04 – Travel Through Time (0:51)
05 – The Phantom’s Lair (1:36)
06 – Music Of The Knife / Killing Joseph (2:21)
07 – What’s In The Closet (0:44)
08 – Young Phantom’s Piano Etude (1:13)
09 – Pact With The Devil (1:02)
10 – The Jewel Song (4:04)
11 – Maddie (2:18)
12 – Salon Talk (2:45)
13 – Mott Stalks The Phantom (1:18)
14 – Hellbound (2:09)
15 – Ride To The Cemetary (1:36)
16 – Graveyard Violin (1:47)
17 – Christine’s Decision (1:31)
18 – Into The Lair (2:21)
19 – Don Juan Triumphant (Organ version) (1:08)
20 – The Wedding (0:57)
21 – The Phantom’s Face (2:18)
22 – Carlotta’s Head (1:06)
23 – Intruders (1:50)
24 – In the Tunnels Beneath the Opera (1:02)
25 – Davis’ Unpleasant Surprise (2:48)
26 – Richard Gets Killed (alternate unused cue) (1:14)
27 – Phantom on Fire (2:04)
28 – You Are Him! & Finale (3:21)
29 – Phantom Of The Opera – End Title Theme (3:05)

Good compilation there. Just finished my new edit based on your track listing. Unfortunately, the scene with the critic still appears to be missing.

thanks cody

Thank you!

What scene do you have on your mind? The music from scene with critic when he dies is not in the OST. The are still come cues that were not released (Mott meets Phantom, Harrison�s Death, Phantom on masquerade, What’s on a Floppy disk / Phantom changing his Mask).

But still, combination of this two scores give us pretty goood compilation of music as heard in the film. Nice work anyway.

thanks.

thank you!

Thank you for uploading this gem, I’m curious, what is the Catalog Number and the Country which it was published? Also any additional information regarding the soundtrack, would be great.

Silva Screen ‎– FILMCD 069, UK
Restless Records ‎– 7 72386-2, US

codyap09, Thanks for uploading!
But, Can you also share original not-splitting version of Silva Screen 13-tracks release? Flac is preferred.

I second that!
And please (if possible) could you perhaps rip the "Restless Records" one too, preferably as flac, codyap09? (or someone else)
Thanks in advance to anyone who is willing to do that!

Thanks.

Just as magicheavy I’m wondering if anyone on this forum has the Restless Records edtion as flac.
If so could you please be so kind and share it with us? 🙂

Very much appreciated! I bought the CD for this over five years ago and loved it, so I’m looking forward to hearing this edition.
I agree that this is a much better movie than how it was marketed. Just a couple of different directions here and there during development and it could have been something really special.

Stumbled upon the Silva Screen LP on Discogs for just under 30 bucks, a steal from the usual price of 50-70 USD with shipping. 😀 Will post when it comes in.

For the completists out there, most of the opera music from Faust used in the movie is also available on CD. It is on a 3CD set conducted by Sir Colin Davis with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra in the 80’s.

There have been multiple re-editions but the most recent was by Decca in 2012:

@ = This section of Gounod’s Faust does not match the one on the Colin Davis CD. It was probably recorded especially for this motion picture in much the same way as "The Jewel Song" was.
* = These two tracks play together at the same time in the movie: S4 (:08-:40) @roughly -11dB with S10 (1:46-2:45) at full volume. The original versions can then be used as bonus tracks.
# = The film version omits the section between 1:01 and 3:01
$ = In the interest of conciseness, the track "The Wedding/The Intruder From Springwood/Christine’s Decision/Mott Stalks The Phantom/Davis’ Death/The Phantom’s Fiery Death" has been refered here simply as "The Wedding…"

Thanks for your share, Kirkenshrir, I appreciate it .

Unfortunately, it’s nothing new (the score as it was officially released + source music / sfx music / Faust ). It’s nice to have this version for people like me, but I prefer non-sfx and non source music version no matter how many tracks it has. Good job anyway. The quality is great.

Hope complete score will leak one day, it’s truly masterpiece.

Just in time for Halloween, I was able to rip my two CDs and re-do my deluxe edition. This is THE edition to have because it’s the best sounding out there.

Using the Silva CD again for the main program, I go a step further. I did not like the sound of the Restless CD but there were instances of pronounced piano notes that were toned down in Silva’s edition. I seamlessly mixed those moments from the Restless album into the Silva version. It wasn’t a lot, just a piano note cross faded in here and there. The Audition (Don Juan Triumphant)/Travel Through Time is sourced from the Restless edition as the audition version of DJT is only available on that edition. The Silva edition of Travel Through Time is included as bonus material. Even without all the heavy EQ, it doesn’t seem to be the same version as what is featured on Restless’ edition.

The sound also got a much-needed boost in volume. It sounds much clearer now.

For nostalgia sake, I included some choice cues from the Restless Records album to bring this compilation just over 80 minutes. The main program runs just under 56 minutes.

Happy Halloween!!

What a fantastic movie this was, I just watched it again today and would love this complete score…But it looks like the links are all dead.

Can someone please re-up? Thanks!

Would really, really like to have the complete score. The official releases have been somewhat lacking.
