Remastered and expanded edition. 12-page CD booklet with French and English liner notes by Christian Lauliac. Limited Edition of 1000 units.
In collaboration with Pathe Films, Music Box Records proudly presents the newly remastered and expanded edition of Philippe Sarde's score to the 1979 classic romantic drama film Tess, directed by Roman Polanski (Rosemary’s Baby, Chinatown) and starring Nastassja Kinski, Peter Firth and Leigh Lawson.
Tess was the second of the three Sarde/Polanski collaborations after the dark and bleak score for The Tenant (1976) and before the lush and colorful score for Pirates (1986). This sumptuous film, written by Polanski in collaboration with Gerard Brach, is an exquisite, richly layered adaptation of Thomas Hardy’s Tess of the d'Urbervilles: A Pure Woman. This French co-production between Claude Berri’s company Renn Productions and an English producer, Timothy Burrill (The Tragedy of Macbeth, Supergirl, La Vie en Rose) revealed a nineteen-year-old German actress, Nastassja Kinski in a gorgeous breakthrough.
Philippe Sarde composed one of his most celebrated scores, orchestrated by Peter Knight (Quest for Fire, Ghost Story), performed by the London Symphony Orchestra and conducted by Carlo Savina, giving all the musical magnitude it required. With its subtle mix of English colors and passionate melodies, Tess is an outwardly romantic score that is in fact rooted in the land of Wessex (the writer’s literary Dorset) and made Philippe Sarde gain numerous admirers, notably beyond the borders of his own country. Rightfully noticed and celebrated as well as the costumes and photography of the movie, the score was nominated for both the Cesar Awards and the Oscars in 1981. Tess remains one of the great milestones of the composer’s career.
Supervised by Philippe Sarde, the whole program has been assembled by Edouard Dubois and fully remastered from the original master tapes, including previously unreleased music. This release features the original 1979 soundtrack album prepared by the composer at the time of the theatrical release and the expanded film score. The package includes a 12-page booklet featuring exclusive liner notes by writer Christian Lauliac discussing the film and the score. The CD release is limited to 1000 units.

『サン・セバスチャンの攻防』、『シシリアン』、『エスピオナージ』のアンリ・ヴェルヌイユ監督による1971年のネオ・ノワール犯罪映画『華麗なる大泥棒』のエンニオ・モリコーネのスコアがリマスターCDで再発売！
トラックリスト『華麗なる大泥棒』は、アテネの豪華な別荘に侵入したアザド（ジャン＝ポール・ベルモンド）とその一味が、腐敗したサディスティックな警官ザッカリア（オマー・シャリフ）を振り払おうとする物語である。この映画は、主演のジャン＝ポール・ベルモンドの演技力と肉体的パフォーマンス、そして当時の大衆文化におけるある種の男らしさの描写を際立たせるように調整された映画スタイルの始まりとなった。このタイプの映画は、同じアンリ・ヴェルヌイユが監督した『恐怖に襲われた街』で頂点に達し、ジョルジュ・ロートナーやジャック・ドレなど、70年代から80年代にかけて活躍した有名監督の作品が続いた。
エンニオ・モリコーネのスコアが際立たせているのは、ベルモンドの圧倒的な男らしさではない。彼の音楽は、登場人物の欠点を前面に押し出す役割を果たし、その欠点は何よりもまず女性に関して顕著に表れる。ダイアン・キャノン演じるストリップ・アーティストのレナに関しては、モリコーネはナイトクラブのシーンとギリシャ料理のレストランに2曲の音楽を提供している。映画のアクションの多くがBGMのあるホテルで行われたため、ヴェルヌイユは彼に、その時代の音楽の巨匠たち（マントヴァーニやザカリアスなど）の美しいパスティーシュ作品を、その心地よいストリングスとともに書くよう依頼した。
クラウディオ・フィアーノ監修による今回のCDリイシューは、新たにリマスタリングされ、ブルーノ・ニコライ編曲・指揮によるアストラッド・ジルベルト演奏の2曲、メイン・テーマのポップな再演、ロデオの別ヴァージョンの4曲のボーナス・トラックも収録されている。 限定500枚。
