In celebration of John Williams‘ 90th birthday and the 25th Anniversary of the acclaimed feature film AMISTAD, La-La Land Records, Paramount Pictures, DreamWorks Pictures and Geffen Records present AMISTAD, a special 2-CD remastered and expanded release of Academy Award-Winning composer John Williams’ (E.T., SCHINDLER’S LIST, SAVING PRIVATE RYAN) original motion picture score to the renowned 1997 big-screen historical drama directed by Steven Spielberg and starring Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins and Djimon Hounsou. Maestro Williams’ masterwork encompasses the depths and heights of human experience, unleashing unforgettable moments of anguish and uplift as it supports the film’s true chronicling of the 1839 African slave ship revolt abord the La Amistad and its subsequent landmark U.S. court case. A breathtaking fusion of orchestral Americana with African percussion rhythms and vocal chanting, this important John Williams score finally gets a definitive release with this deluxe 2-CD presentation, meticulously produced, edited and mastered by Mike Matessino, in consultation with the composer and director. Remastered in high resolution from studio master elements, Disc One and Disc Two of this program features the film Score Presentation, which expands the original 1997 soundtrack album by almost double its length, including cues not used in the film. The score presentation is followed on Disc Two by 50 minutes of bonus tracks including source music, concert arrangements, and alternates - some of which offer completely different approaches than the film versions. The exclusive, in-depth liner notes are by writer Jeff Bond, with the packaging’s elegant design by Jim Titus. This is a limited edition release of 5000 units.

もうひとつのスティーブン・スピルバーグ監督とジョン・ウィリアムズ コンビの傑作が登場！ジョン・ウィリアムズの90歳の誕生日と、高い評価を得ている長編映画『アミスタッド』の25周年を記念して、サウンドトラックCD２枚組決定盤がついにリリース！『アミスタッド』はスティーブン・スピルバーグ監督が実話をもとに描いた感動作。奴隷制度が横行していたかつてのアメリカを舞台に、彼らを救おうとアメリカ法制度に疑問を投げかけた元大統領、ジョン・クインシー・アダムズの闘いを描く。モーガン・フリーマン、アンソニー・ホプキンス、マシュー・マコノヒー共演。ジョン・ウィリアムズの音楽はアカデミー賞音楽賞にノミネートされた。マエストロのこの傑作、人間の経験の深みと高みを包み込み、苦悩と高揚の忘れがたい瞬間を解き放ち、1839年にアフリカの奴隷船ラ・アミスタッド号の反乱と、その後の米国での重要な裁判を描いたこの映画の真実に実にマッチしています。
アフリカのパーカッションのリズムとヴォーカルの詠唱にオーケストラのアメリカーナが融合したこの重要なジョン・ウィリアムズのスコアは、マイク・マテジーノが作曲家と監督と相談して念入りに制作、編集、マスタリングしたこのデラックスなCD2枚組盤でついに決定盤リリースとなります。
スタジオ・マスターからハイレゾでリマスターされたディスク1とディスク2は、1997年のオリジナル・サウンドトラック・アルバムを約2倍に拡大し、映画で使われなかったキューを含む映画のフルスコアを収録しています。さらにディスク2には、フィルムバージョンとは全く異なるアプローチのソースミュージック、コンサートアレンジ曲、別バージョンなど、約50分のボーナストラックを収録しています。限定5000枚。
