A collection of beloved TV scores by Carl Davis, in new recordings made by the composer.
Enjoy! :)
Music Composed and Conducted by Carl Davis
Played by the Czech National Symphony Orchestra
includes selections from:
The World at War (Theme, Concert Version)
Goodnight Mr Tom (Suite)
Echoes That Remain (Suite)
Anne Frank Remembered (Suite)
Rhapsody from "The Snow Goose"
"Carl Davis has distinguished himself in many musical fields. His scores for the great silent films including for
Abel Gance�s Napoleon are prominent as also is that for Lon Chaney�s The Phantom of the Opera. He
puts himself on the line in writing such music and has carried this off with considerable success often
in live events he conducts to accompany modern day showings of these films. His work for British film
music is a feature of his concerts and dates back to that mini-series of unhackneyed concerts on BBC
Radio 3 in March 1995. There have also been ballets including one, A Simple Man based on the life of
L.S. Lowry. He assisted Sir Paul McCartney in the production of his Liverpool Oratorio. His TV scores
are numerous, are magnificently memorable and include the whoopingly ebullient one for the BBC�s much
repeated Pride and Prejudice with Jennifer Ehle. It�s hinted at in the Goodnight Mr Tom music (tr. 3).
Going further back I still very fondly recall his pastoral-poignant music for Hardy�s The Mayor of Casterbridge
(BBC, 1972) with Alan Bates as Michael Henchard.
The World at War piece with acrid tragedy gives the sense of a great remorseless wave, bitter and with
little consolation. The echoes threaded through the music are Czech and Russian. There is a complete CD
dedicated to The World at War � it�s on CDC006. The four movement suite from the music for Jack Gold�s
Goodnight Mr Tom is more gently wistful, at times disturbing but also rather pastoral-joyful. The music for
Echoes That Remain naturally has strata of Jewish exoticism among the violence. One of the finest inventions
is the Spring Cemetery movement with harp ostinato and flute descant. The final Remember is heavy with the
sound-world of the Dvor�k Cello Concerto leavened with just a hint of Bloch. These moods carry over into the
Ann Frank Remembered suite with a Sibelian elegy as the centre of the sequence. The Death of Ann Frank is
handled with great sensitivity and the music carries the redolence of the orthodox chant of Rimsky�s Russian
Easter Festival. The Rhapsody on themes from The Snow Goose recalls the 36 piece orchestral score for
the film featuring Jenny Agutter and Richard Harris. The invention is overwhelmingly romantic � think in terms
of the best of John Barry but more so. It is gloriously done here as indeed are all the tracks.
The documentation is good."
