Quartet Records, in collaboration with Gruppo Sugar, proudly presents the premiere expanded CD release of Lee Holdridge’s epic symphonic score from the popular fantasy adventure film directed by Don Coscarelli in 1982.
Recorded in Rome with members of the Orchestra of the Academy of Santa Cecilia and the Radio Symphony, Holdridge provides an incredibly powerful and exciting score dominated by an epic main theme. The score also features a beautiful love theme, fierce action cues, adventure music and dark and mystical passages.
The first score album for The Beastmaster was released by Varese Sarabande in 1983. It was subsequently reissued by CAM Records, and as a promotional album paired with music from Holdridge’s TV score to Beauty and the Beast. The album underwent some modifications along the way?most notably, the addition of Holdridge’s dramatic re-write of the climactic “The Battle on the Pyramid.” It is the revised program that appears here.
Quartet’s expanded score assembly was created from the surviving first-generation CAM master tapes, vaulted in mint condition at Gruppo Sugar, and differs from both the original album and the music as heard in the film. The assembly features much music that was cut from the film, as well as several alternate takes and compositions. The score is presented in film order, as originally conceived by Holdridge.
Mastered by Claudio Fuiano, the package for this deluxe edition includes a 20-page full color booklet with liner notes and track-by-track analysis by John Takis. Limited Collector’s Edition of 1200 units. ---レーベルより

廃盤商品。マーク・シンガー、タニヤ・ロバーツ主演の古代ヒロイックファンタジー。リー・ホールドリッジの傑作のひとつ。今回、アルバム音源と初リリースとなる、マスターテープから未使用楽曲も含んだフルスコアを収録した２枚組！限定1200枚。
トラックリスト大古の昔。広大な砂漠を領するアルークという国では、国王ゼッドから実権を奪おうと企む悪徳司祭のマークスが、アー教という宗教を盾に傍若無人の振る舞いをしていた。
ある時、妖怪から「これから生まれる2人の間の子供が、お前を殺すだろう」とを聞いたマークスは怒り、妖怪に子供を殺せと命じた。妖怪は王夫婦から子供を奪い、王妃の子宮の子供を連れて来た牛の腹に移しかえる。野原で牛の腹を裂き、子供を殺そうとするが、通りかかった旅人が妖怪にナイフを投げて子供を助けた。旅人はエムール国の長老で、彼は子供をダールと名付け自分の子として育てる。
少年になったダールは、熊を自分の意のままに操つれる能力に気付いた。月日がたち青年となったダールは、丘で畑仕事をしていると、蛮族ジャンが襲いかかってきて、エムールはダールを除いて全滅した。彼は以前、父が自分は本当の親ではないこと、正体を知りたかったらアルークの谷へ行けといっていたことを思い出し、彼の目というべき鷲と愛犬コドを連れて旅へ出る。途中で2匹のいたずら者のフェレットや、熊、黒豹が仲間に加わり、ダールはマークスの邪悪な陰謀に立ち向かう。 監督：ドン・コスカレリ。1982年米・伊。
