Quartet Records is proud to present a brand new recording of one of the very first scores by Fernando Velazquez, composed right after THE ORPHANAGE in 2007.
SAVAGE GRACE was a bizarre film directed by Tom Kallin and starring Academy Award winners Julianne Moore and Eddie Redmaine, and it tells the true story of the beautiful and charismatic but mentally unstable Barbara Daly, who married above her class to Brooks Baekeland, heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune. Their only child is a failure in his father’s eyes, and as he matures and becomes increasingly close to his alienated mother, the seeds for tragedy are sown.
In spite of being one of the composer’s favorite scores, from one of his most creative periods, the album was never released in part due to an unfortunate and problematic recording, which had to be produced quickly for budget reasons. Velazquez was never happy with the result, so that’s why we have decided to record it again?respecting the original orchestrations?this time with the Basque National Orchestra under the baton of the composer. The music is intensely romantic and bittersweet, with echoes of Impressionism and jazz.
Recorded by Marc Blanes and mastered by Chris Malone, the package includes an in-depth essay by film music writer Daniel Schweiger, including exclusive interviews with Tom Kallin and Fernando Velazquez.
実在の事件を基にしたクライム・ノンフィクションをジュリアン・ムーア主演で映画化した美しき母と息子の禁断の愛憎ドラマ「美しすぎる母」のオリジナル・スコア。音楽は今やスペインを代表する作曲家のひとり、『クリムゾン・ピーク』、『永遠のこどもたち』、『インポッシブル』などのフェルナンド・ヴェラスケス。『永遠のこどもたち』（2007）の直後のヴェラスケスの初期の作品。ヴェラスケス自信お気に入りのスコアですが、時間制約と予算の問題でまともなレコーディングができなかった為、サウンドトラックはリリースされませんでした。そこで、今回、作曲者の指揮するバスク国立管弦楽団とともに、オリジナルのオーケストレーションに忠実に再録音することにしました。印象派やジャズの響きを持つ、激しくもロマンティックでほろ苦い音楽です。
トラックリスト1972年11月17日ロンドン。事件は起こった。貧しい家庭で育ったバーバラ。彼女は大富豪のブルックスと結婚する。一人息子、アントニーを授か り、憧れの上流階級の幸せを実感する日々。だが数年後、突然夫のブルックスに捨てられる――。ニューヨーク、パリ、カダケス、マジョルカ島、そしてロンドン。居場所をなくしたバーバラはアントニーと各国を彷徨う。世間から取り残された二人だけの生活。何かが少しずつ、だが確実に狂い始め、物語は衝撃の結末 へ・・・。
