廃盤商品。ミクロス・ローザの「愛する時と死する時」と「炎の人ゴッホ」をカップリング収録！「愛する時と死する時」は長らく廃盤となっていたので、待望のCD再発売。「炎の人ゴッホ」はVarese Sarabandeレーベルから1993年にCD発売されたFrankenland State Symphony Orchestra演奏のステレオ再録音盤と同内容。
A winning pair of the late fifties from the great Hungarian-born maestro who became a legendary figure in Hollywood.
Although a more intimate work than the historical epics with which Miklos Rozsa's name is usually associated, the score for Douglas Sirk's A Time to Love and a Time to Die features the composer's usual rich orchestral palette and powerful bursts of dramatic tension with the support of a large brass section. Romance takes also an important place in this story of a German soldier (John Gavin) dealing with the consequences of the Second World War. The Decca soundtrack album of A Time to Love and a Time to Die performed by the Universal-International; Orchestra was reissued by Varese Sarabande in 1978, then on CD in 1993 by MCA Japan, which is a long time out of print.
The 22-minute stereophonic recording of the Lust for Life Suite is performed by the Frankenland State Symphony Orchestra in Germany. The composer gathered here the main themes from his 1956 score for Vincente Minnelli’s drama based on the life of artist Vincent van Gogh, starring Kirk Douglas. This suite, close to the original soundtrack but intended for the concert hall, was first released on a Decca LP in 1958, along with other concert adaptations of Rozsa film scores. Varese Sarabande would reissue this program 20 years later, and then re-release it on compact disc in 1993.
We believe that our versions of the Lust for Life Suite and A Time to Love and a Time to Die, produced from vinyl sources using state-of-the-art technology, are better renditions of the original analog recordings and offer a more enjoyable listen than the compact discs previously available. 12-page color booklet. ---レーベルより

トラックリスト『愛する時と死する時』・・・敗色濃厚な'４４年早春のロシア戦線から故郷に一時帰還する独軍兵士（ジャン・ギャヴィン）は、廃墟と化した街を見てショックを受ける。両親も行方不明で、辛うじて、幼馴染みの娘と再会する。母の主治医だった彼女の父も、ゲシュタポに連れ去られ今は消息不明だった。そしていつしか愛を育んだ二人は結婚。無事だった両親とも連絡が取れ、ささやかな幸福に浸る彼だったが、再び戦場に戻り、激戦地を転戦。いよいよ終戦も間近い初春の日、妻から子供の誕生を知らせる手紙を受け取った彼は歓んだが……。ギャヴィンとヒロイン役のリゼロッテ・プルファーが物語そのままの清純さで素晴らしい。原作は「西部戦線異状なし」のレマルク。監督： ダグラス・サーク。1958年米。
『炎の人ゴッホ』・・・伝道の道を志したゴッホだったが、貧しい炭坑で坑夫と共に生活した廉で破門、故郷に帰り、弟テオの保護を受け絵に専従する。３０をすぎてパリに出てゴーギャンと出合い、アルルで共同生活を送るが、豪放磊落な彼とは次第に折り合いを悪くし、遂に発狂し精神病院入り。それも快方に向かうが、大作『鴉のいる麦畑』を描いた後、短銃で自殺する。監督： ヴィンセント・ミネリ、出演：カーク・ダグラス、アンソニー・クイン。1956年米。
