The Diary of Anne Frank Is One of Legendary Screen Composer Alfred Newman's Most Beloved Scores. First-Time CD Release of Original 1959 Soundtrack Album. In Rare Stereo/ New Liner Notes
Winner of nine Academy Awards (second only to Walt Disney) and nominated for 45 (second among composers only to John Williams), Alfred Newman ranks as one of the greatest screen composers of all time, writer of such acclaimed film scores as How Green Was My Valley, All About Eve, Wuthering Heights, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing and The Song of Bernadette. But this score, to the 1959 George Stevens film adaptation of The Diary of Anne Frank (which was nominated for an Academy Award), occupies a special place in the hearts of Newman fans, and not just because the story on screen that it accompanies is so heart-rending and enduring. Contrary to what one might expect of a movie set in The Holocaust, the music to the film is lyrical, even on occasion lighthearted; as Newman put it, “…the music would be motivated by high ideals, the tenderness and spiritual qualities inherent in their family life and their special badge of courage.” Indeed, the humanity that has made the diary of Anne Frank one of the most profound documents to survive The Holocaust is expressed in every note Newman wrote for the film. Real Gone Music proudly presents the original stereo film soundtrack album for the first time on legitimate CD with the original album artwork and new liner notes. ---レーベルより

世界的なベストセラーで、今なお読み継がれているアンネ・フランクの短い一生を綴った同名原作の映画化。アルフレッド・ニューマンのアカデミー賞音楽賞ノミネート作。ついに初CD化！LPのサントラアルバムと同じジャケットデザイン、新たなライナーノーツを使用。レアなステレオ音源（LPと同内容）。
トラックリストナチスが徹底的にユダヤ人を迫害する中で、狭い屋根裏部屋にひっそり隠れ住みながら、なお人間の良心を信じ、少女の思春期の様々な思いをみずみずしい感性で書き綴った一人の少女アンネ・フランク。
15歳で短い生涯を閉じた彼女の日記を元に、「ジャイアンツ」の名匠ジョージ・スティーブンスが、彼女の喜びや悲しみをそのまま描き出し、世界中の人々が涙を流した感動名作。
アンネを演じるのは、1万人の候補者の中から選ばれた瞳が美しい長女ミリー・パーキンス。多感な少女の恋の憧れ、大人への疑問、そして同居人ペーターとの間に芽生えた淡い初恋など、アンネの心の軌跡をゆたかな感性と素直な演技でたどってゆく。最後のペーターと別れの口付けを交わすシーンは決して忘れられない悲しい場面である。
1959年度アカデミー賞3部門受賞(助演女優賞、撮影賞、美術監督・装置賞)。監督：ジョージ・スティーヴンス、出演：ミリー・パーキンス、シェリー・ウィンタース、ダイアン・ベイカー。1959年米。
