ヘンリー・マンシーニと彼のお気に入りの作詞家ジョニー・マーサーは、1970年のアカデミー賞オリジナル曲にノミネートされた“Whistle Away the Dark”など、この映画のために数々の素晴らしい曲を書いた。マンシーニはまた、映画以外では聴くことのできない力強いシンフォニックでドラマチックなスコアも書いた。このスコアと曲は、音楽賞オリジナル曲スコア部門にもノミネートされました。
Quartet Records, in association with Paramount Pictures, Sony Music, the Henry Mancini Estate and the Johnny Mercer Estate, presents a remastered and extensively expanded deluxe edition of Blake Edwards’ 1970 big-budget musical-war-romantic comedy DARLING LILI, starring Julie Andrews and Rock Hudson.
DARLING LILI is not a conventional musical in which characters burst into song as a narrative substitute for speech or interior monologue. Rather, director Blake Edwards has taken pains to describe it as “a romantic comedy with music.” Inspired by the life of Mata Hari, the film tells the story of supposedly British singer Lili Smith (Julie Andrews), who triumphs in France during World War I. In reality, she’s a German citizen named Lili Schmidt, working for German military espionage.
The film was a resounding failure at the box office and led to a several-year hiatus in the relationship between Blake Edwards and Henry Mancini, due to some disagreements and misunderstandings during postproduction. But it was also the movie where Edwards met Julie Andrews, who became his wife for the rest of his life. It was also the first collaboration between Julie Andrews and Henry Mancini, two musical souls destined to meet.
Henry Mancini and his favorite lyricist, Johnny Mercer, wrote a number of wonderful songs for the picture, including “Whistle Away the Dark,” one of their most beautiful creations, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Original Song in 1970. Mancini also wrote a powerful symphonic and dramatic score that has never been heard outside of the movie. The score and songs were also nominated in the Best Music Original Songs Score category.
This edition has been painstakingly produced, restored and mastered by Chris Malone, working from the first-generation album master and mono and stereo elements provided by Paramount Pictures. It includes the historic RCA album with the original songs beautifully performed by Julie Andrews, Mancini’s complete underscore for the film, plus some curious extras such as the demos played by Johnny Mercer before filming that include two unreleased Mancini-Mercer songs that were not included in the film. Instrumental versions of the songs round out the program.
A treat for fans of Julie Andrews, Henry Mancini and the Mancini-Mercer songs. The lavishly designed package includes a 24-page booklet with extensive liner notes by film music writer John Takis.
ジュリー・アンドリュースとロック・ハドソン主演のブレイク・エドワーズ監督1970年の大作ミュージカル戦争ロマンティック・コメディ『暁の出撃』のリマスター、フルスコア収録のデラックス・エディションがリリース！
トラックリスト『暁の出撃』は、登場人物が歌い出すことで、台詞や内面的な独白を物語に代用するような従来のミュージカルではない。むしろ、監督のブレイク・エドワーズは、この作品を 「音楽のあるロマンティック・コメディ 」と表現することに苦心している。マタ・ハリの生涯にインスパイアされたこの映画は、第一次世界大戦中のフランスで成功を収めたとされるイギリス人歌手リリ・スミス（ジュリー・アンドリュース）の物語である。
この映画は興行的に大失敗し、ブレイク・エドワーズとヘンリー・マンシーニの関係は、ポストプロダクション中の意見の相違や誤解のために数年間中断することになった。しかし、エドワーズがジュリー・アンドリュースと出会い、生涯の妻となった映画でもある。また、ジュリー・アンドリュースとヘンリー・マンシーニが初めて共演した作品でもあり、2人の音楽魂が出会う運命にあった。
ヘンリー・マンシーニと彼のお気に入りの作詞家ジョニー・マーサーは、1970年のアカデミー賞オリジナル曲にノミネートされた“Whistle Away the Dark”など、この映画のために数々の素晴らしい曲を書いた。マンシーニはまた、映画以外では聴くことのできない力強いシンフォニックでドラマチックなスコアも書いた。このスコアと曲は、音楽賞オリジナル曲スコア部門にもノミネートされました。
このエディションは、第一世代のアルバム・マスターと、パラマウント・ピクチャーズから提供されたモノラルとステレオの音源をもとに、クリス・マローンによって丹念に制作、修復、マスタリングされた。ジュリー・アンドリュースによって美しく演奏されたオリジナル曲を含むRCAのアルバム、マンシーニによる映画のためのアンダースコア全曲に加え、撮影前にジョニー・マーサーが演奏したデモ音源など、映画には収録されなかったマンシーニとマーサーの未発表曲2曲を含む興味深いボーナス曲も収録されています。これらの曲のインストゥルメンタル・ヴァージョンがプログラムを締めくくる。
ジュリー・アンドリュース、ヘンリー・マンシーニ、マンシーニ＝マーサーの曲のファンにはたまらない。豪華なデザインのパッケージには、映画音楽ライター、ジョン・タキスによる豊富なライナーノーツが掲載された24ページのブックレットが付属。
