"[Islands in the Stream] was so special and to me it’s always been one of my best scores. Every day I’d go down to work on it, [sitting] at the Moviola with tears in my eyes .... It’s a great film." ?Jerry Goldsmith, 1982
Intrada presents a newly mastered and edited edition of the original soundtrack to the 1977 Paramount Pictures film Islands in the Stream. The score was of such personal importance to Jerry Goldsmith that he approached Intrada in 1986, just a year after it had been formed and a few months after the release of his latest score, Poltergeist II, to seek the label's interest in creating a new recording of the score in Hungary. Intrada jumped at the chance. The brilliant recording has been in the catalog continuously since it was released in the late '80s.
Since licensing and cost complications precluded a release of the original tracks at the time, the new recording was a godsend to Goldsmith enthusiasts, with the exception of a few omissions that Goldsmith couldn't get right with the Hungarian orchestra. In the 2010s, things had changed and the Film Score Monthly label was able to release the original tracks, but it has since been out of print for some time. With some slight modifications using newer technology, Doug Fake and Chris Malone were able to elevate the quality of the recording for this brand new release. The score is beautiful, deeply emotional and introspective, and at times simply thrilling. From the reflection of the inner feelings of the main character and his relationship with his family to the shark attack, lengthy Marlin sequence and rescue sequence in the last act, Goldsmith provides quite the musical adventure, presented in complete form with new notes by Frank K. DeWald.
The film is a drama directed by Franklin J. Schaffner, based on the novel by Ernest Hemingway. The film follows the life of Thomas Hudson (George C. Scott), a successful painter living in the Bahamas during World War II. Struggling with his past and the impact of the war on his family, Hudson navigates complex relationships with his estranged wife, his children, and a series of romantic entanglements. The narrative explores themes of love, loss and redemption against the backdrop of a changing world, ultimately reflecting on the human condition and the search for meaning amidst chaos.

INTRADA Special Collection。 『海流の中の島々』はとても特別で、私にとって常にベストスコアのひとつだった。毎日、涙を流しながらムヴィオラの前に座って作業していたよ......。素晴らしい映画だ。
トラックリスト-ジェリー・ゴールドスミス、1982年
1977年のパラマウント映画『海流の中の島々』のオリジナル・サウンドトラックを新たにマスタリングし、再編集したエディションがリリース！
このスコアはジェリー・ゴールドスミスにとって個人的に非常に重要なものであり、彼は1986年にイントラーダを設立してわずか1年後、最新作『ポルターガイスト２』をリリースして数ヶ月後に、ハンガリーでこのスコアの新録音を行いたいとレーベルに持ちかけた。INTRADAはそのチャンスに飛びついた。この素晴らしい録音は、80年代後半にリリースされて以来、継続的にカタログに掲載されている。
当時はライセンスやコストの問題でオリジナル曲のリリースが不可能だったため、ゴールドスミスがハンガリーのオーケストラとうまく演奏できなかったいくつかの欠落を除けば、この新録音はゴールドスミス・ファンにとって天の恵みだった。2010年代には状況が変わり、Film Score Monthlyレーベルがオリジナル・トラックをリリースすることができたが、その後しばらく絶版となっていた。ダグラス・フェイクとクリス・マローンは、新しい技術を使って若干の修正を加え、この真新しいリリースのために録音の質を高めることができた。スコアは美しく、深く感情的で内省的であり、時には単純にスリリングだ。主人公の内面的な感情や家族との関係の反映から、サメの襲撃、長いマーリンのシークエンス、ラストの救出シークエンスまで、ゴールドスミスは、フランク・K・デウォルドによる新しい注釈を加えた完全な形で、音楽の冒険を提供している。
アーネスト・ヘミングウェイの小説を原作としたフランクリン・J・シャフナー監督のドラマ。第二次世界大戦中、バハマに住む成功した画家トーマス・ハドソン（ジョージ・C・スコット）の人生を描く。自分の過去や戦争が家族に与えた影響と闘いながら、ハドソンは別居中の妻、子供たち、そして一連の恋愛関係との複雑な関係を乗り越えていく。物語は、変わりゆく世界を背景に、愛、喪失、贖罪のテーマを探求し、最終的には人間の条件と混沌の中での意味の探求について考察する。
"[Islands in the Stream] was so special and to me it’s always been one of my best scores. Every day I’d go down to work on it, [sitting] at the Moviola with tears in my eyes .... It’s a great film."
