Intrada and Volta Music present a brand-new recording of Dimitri Tiomkin's 1958 Oscar-winning score to The Old Man and the Sea. The album was recorded with regular Intrada favorite, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, under the baton of Richard Kaufman. The Old Man and the Sea was a golden opportunity for a composer. Rife with atmosphere and notably short on dialogue, the picture called for a composer who could “think big” and create a sprawling musical canvas reflecting the film’s theme of man vs. nature. In the mid-1950s, few (if any) film composers were routinely producing large works on the scale of Dimitri Tiomkin. Tiomkin composed nearly 80 minutes of rich orchestral underscore. His music encompasses a wide range of moods, including passages that reflect the lush seascapes and breathtaking sunsets of Howe’s cinematography with Impressionistic tone color and rhythm; bold dramatic cues for Santiago’s struggle with the marlin; periodic references to Latin-American rhythms for the film’s Cuban setting and quiet moments of repose to depict the tender relationship between Santiago and Manolin. Inspired by Hemingway’s story, Tiomkin crafted a score that supports the drama, in his words, “in the style of a symphonic poem for concert.” Five principal themes unify the mammoth composition.
Featuring gorgeous cover art by Stephane Coedel and liner notes by Frank K. DeWald, Warren M. Sherk and Patrick Russ, the CD includes nearly 130 minutes of music?the complete score plus additional arrangements. Remarkably, the original full-score manuscripts have survived for nearly 70 years thanks to Dimitri Tiomkin’s own preservation efforts. He donated all his music to the Dimitri Tiomkin Collection in the Cinematic Arts Library at The University of Southern California in Los Angeles, and the Warner Bros. Archives, also located on the USC campus.
The Old Man and the Sea is a film adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's novella, directed by John Sturges and starring Spencer Tracy as the aging Cuban fisherman Santiago. Struggling with a long stretch of bad luck, Santiago embarks on a solitary fishing expedition, determined to catch a giant marlin that has eluded him. After an epic battle lasting several days, he successfully catches the fish but faces new challenges as he struggles to protect his catch from sharks on his journey home. The film explores themes of perseverance, human dignity, and the struggle between man and nature. Spencer Tracy's performance was widely praised, earning him an Academy Award nomination.

ディミトリ・ティオムキンが1958年にアカデミー賞を受賞した『老人と海』のコンプリート・スコアを新録音で登場！ このアルバムは、リチャード・カウフマン指揮のもと、INTRADAの常連であるロイヤル・スコティッシュ・ナショナル管弦楽団で録音。
トラックリスト『老人と海』は作曲家にとって絶好のチャンスだった。雰囲気にあふれ、台詞が著しく少ないこの作品では、「大胆に考える」ことができ、人間対自然という映画のテーマを反映した広大な音楽キャンバスを創造できる作曲家が求められていた。1950年代半ば、ディミトリ・ティオムキンのようなスケールの大きな作品を日常的に作っていた映画作曲家はほとんどいなかった。
ティオムキンは80分近い豊かなオーケストラ・アンダースコアを作曲した。彼の音楽は、印象派的な色彩とリズムでハウの撮影の青々とした海の風景や息をのむような夕日を映し出す部分、カジキと闘うサンティアゴの大胆なドラマチックな合図、キューバを舞台にしたラテンアメリカのリズムへの定期的な言及、サンティアゴとマノリンの優しい関係を描く静かな安息の瞬間など、幅広いムードを包含している。ヘミングウェイの物語にインスパイアされたティオムキンは、彼の言葉を借りれば「コンサートのための交響詩のスタイルで」ドラマを支えるスコアを作り上げた。5つの主要テーマが、この巨大な編成を統一している。
ステファン・コエデルによる豪華なジャケット・アートと、フランク・K・デウォルド、ウォーレン・M・シャーク、パトリック・ラスによるライナーノーツをフィーチャーしたこのCDには、フルスコアと追加アレンジ曲を加えた約130分の音楽が収録されています。驚くべきことに、ディミトリ・ティオムキン自身の保存努力により、オリジナルのフルスコア原稿は70年近くも残っている。彼は、ロサンゼルスの南カリフォルニア大学シネマティック・アーツ・ライブラリーにあるディミトリ・ティオムキン・コレクションと、同じく南カリフォルニア大学構内にあるワーナー・ブラザース・アーカイブスにすべての楽譜を寄贈した。
『老人と海』は、アーネスト・ヘミングウェイの小説をジョン・スタージェス監督が映画化したもので、老齢のキューバ人漁師サンチャゴをスペンサー・トレイシーが演じた。長い間の不運に悩むサンチャゴは、彼を遠ざけている巨大なカジキを釣り上げる決意を固め、孤独な漁に乗り出す。数日間に及ぶ壮絶な戦いの末、彼は魚を釣り上げることに成功するが、帰路でサメから獲物を守ろうと奮闘し、新たな試練に直面する。この映画は、忍耐、人間の尊厳、人間と自然の闘いというテーマを探求している。スペンサー・トレイシーの演技は広く賞賛され、アカデミー賞にノミネートされた。
