Intrada announces the premiere release of James Horner's first film score, the 1979 ganster-drama The Lady in Red. The producers and directors had a very specific vision for what the music should sound like: they wanted it to reflect the 1930s setting with a score that adapted songs from the period. This is most prominent in Horner's adapation of 42nd Street, composed by Harry Warren. James Horner was quite adept at scoring for jazz and big band ensembles throughout his prolific career. His adaptations and original jazz numbers are crisp and skillfully written. The dramatic music is scored for a modest orchestra of trumpets, trombones, acoustic guitars, woodwinds and percussion. There are no ensemble strings and there are no French horns or tuba. It makes Horner's first film score one of his more unique. For this release, thanks to the generous cooperation of the James Horner estate and Shout! Studios, Intrada was able to access the 2” 16-track 30 ips session masters, preserved in pristine condition and newly mixed down to vivid two-track stereo, quite possibly for the first time as the film itself was only mixed in mono sound. Every instrument was recorded onto its own track on the masters, with one exception: the trombone. Given the prominence of the instrument in certain cues, we have positioned the tenor trombone on the left and the second on the right. The resulting timbre is both vibrant and exciting.
The film follows the life of young Polly Franklin (Pamela Sue Martin) from her childhood with an abusive father, through prostitution, to her run-in with John Dillinger (Robert Conrad), a notorious American gangster of the Great Depression.The Lady In Red’s originality lies in its feminist interpretation of the gangster film.

INTRADA Special Collection。ジェームズ・ホーナーのデビュー作、1979年のギャング映画『赤いドレスの女』のオリジナル・サウンドトラックが世界初リリース！
トラックリストプロデューサーと監督は、音楽をどのように聴かせるかについて非常に具体的なビジョンを持っていた。これは、ハリー・ウォーレンが作曲した『42nd Street』をホーナーが映画化した際に最も顕著に表れている。ジェームズ・ホーナーは、その多作なキャリアを通じて、ジャズやビッグバンドのアンサンブルのためのスコアリングに非常に長けていた。彼の脚色やオリジナルのジャズ・ナンバーは歯切れがよく、巧みに書かれている。ドラマチックな音楽は、トランペット、トロンボーン、アコースティックギター、木管楽器、パーカッションからなる控えめなオーケストラのために採譜されている。弦楽器のアンサンブルはなく、フレンチホルンもチューバもない。そのため、ホーナーの最初の映画音楽は、彼の中でも特にユニークなものとなっている。
このリリースのために、ジェームズ・ホーナー遺族とシャウト・スタジオの寛大な協力ののおかげで、2インチ16トラック30ipsのセッション・マスターにアクセスすることができた。トロンボーンを除いて、すべての楽器がそれぞれのトラックに録音されている。この楽器はあるキューで目立つため、テナー・トロンボーンを左に、セカンド・トロンボーンを右に配置した。その結果、音色は躍動的でエキサイティングなものとなりました。
この映画は、虐待を受ける父親との幼少期から売春を経て、大恐慌時代の悪名高いアメリカのギャング、ジョン・デリンジャー（ロバート・コンラッド）と対決するまでの若きポリー・フランクリン（パメラ・スー・マーティン）の人生を描いている。『赤いドレスの女』の独創性は、ギャング映画に対するフェミニズム的解釈にある。
