Intrada presents the premiere release of composer Frederic Talgorn's first film score: the 1989 MGM horror film Edge of Sanity. His approach to scoring the film, as with many of his scores after this first venture, comes from the orchestral tradition created by many film music legends. As he describes in the liner notes, “I’m from a mid-70s generation of people who discovered film music when John Williams put symphonic scoring back on the map. I realized the power of what you could do for the cinema with orchestral music thanks to composers like him, Jerry Goldsmith and Miklos Rozsa.” Bringing a fresh voice to a legacy of music scores sprawling decades behind him, Edge of Sanity brims with strong themes, fierce action, eerie suspense and even some brief moments of pastoral joy. Talgorn proved right out of the gate that he could bring a level of sophistication and artistry to any film he might score.Seemingly lost for decades until its recent discovery in DAT format by the composer, the breadth of the music’s brash, richly melodic transgression remains as wonderfully shocking as ever, no more so than to Talgorn. “When I listen now, I’m surprised by some of this music,” he remarks. “You write what you are, and my obsession was to write for an orchestra. I didn’t even think of doing anything else, because the greatest film music I knew was orchestral. The energy you feel in this score comes from that beginner’s enthusiasm because I wanted to show what I could do." This long overdue album was well worth the wait. Talgorn produced the album for Intrada, with Doug Schwartz responsible for mastering.The film presents a dark, twisted take on the classic tale of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Starring Anthony Perkins as the classic character, the film follows Dr. Jekyll, a troubled scientist who experiments with a new drug that unleashes his alter ego, the violent and depraved Mr. Hyde. As Hyde's rampages become increasingly brutal, Jekyll struggles to control his darker half while the film delves into themes of duality, madness, and the thin line between genius and insanity. The film combines elements of psychological horror with a gritty, atmospheric setting, offering a chilling exploration of the human psyche.

何度も映画化されたホラーの定番『ジキル博士とハイド氏』に新解釈をほどこした1989年の官能的ホラー映画『ジキルとハイド』のオリジナル・サウンドトラックが世界初リリース！音楽はこれが映画音楽デビューとなるフレデリック・タルゴーン。
トラックリストこの映画の作曲における彼のアプローチは、この最初のベンチャー以降の多くの作曲と同様、多くの映画音楽界の伝説が作り上げたオーケストラの伝統から来ている。“ジョン・ウィリアムズがシンフォニック・スコアリングを再び地図に載せたとき、私は映画音楽を知った70年代半ばの世代の人間なんだ。彼やジェリー・ゴールドスミス、ミクロス・ローザのような作曲家のおかげで、オーケストラ音楽で映画に何ができるのか、その力を実感したんだ”。と語っている。何十年にもわたる彼の音楽遺産に新鮮な声を吹き込んだ『ジキルとハイド』には、力強いテーマ、激しいアクション、不気味なサスペンス、そして牧歌的な喜びの瞬間さえある。タルゴーンは、彼がどんな映画にも洗練された芸術性をもたらすことができることを、門を叩いてすぐに証明した。
作曲者が最近DATフォーマットで発見するまで、何十年もの間、失われていたかのように思われたこの音楽の、大胆で豊かなメロディーの幅の広さは、相変わらず素晴らしく衝撃的である。“今聴くと、この音楽のいくつかに驚かされる。”“私のこだわりは、オーケストラのために書くことだった。私が知っている最も偉大な映画音楽はオーケストラ音楽だったからだ。”このスコアから感じられるエネルギーは、その初心者の熱意から来ている。長い間待たされたこのアルバムは、待った甲斐がありました！
タルゴーンがイントラーダのためにプロデュースし、ダグ・シュワルツがマスタリングを担当。
この映画は、ジキル博士とハイド氏の古典的な物語をダークでひねくれたテイストで描いている。アンソニー・パーキンスが古典的なキャラクターを演じるこの映画は、問題を抱えた科学者のジキル博士が、新薬の実験によって自分の分身である暴力的で堕落したハイド氏を解き放ってしまう。ハイドの暴走がますます残忍になるにつれ、ジキルは自分の心の闇をコントロールしようと奮闘する一方、映画は二面性、狂気、天才と狂気の間の薄い境界線といったテーマを掘り下げていく。この映画は、サイコ・ホラーの要素と重厚で雰囲気のある設定を融合させ、人間の心理をゾッとさせるような形で探求しています。
