World premiere 2-CD release of 1981 complete score to rousing Desmond Davis fantasy film starring Harry Hamlin, Laurence Olivier, Burgess Meredith with visual effects by legendary Ray Harryhausen. Spectacular Laurence Rosenthal score offers incredible sweep, colorful excitement, dynamic action. Original LP & CD featured 39 minutes of music (less than half of the finished score) but Intrada 2-disc set presents entire 90-minute score, including rare choral pieces written for Mount Olympus scenes that went largely unused! Also appearing for first time: powerful "Two-Headed Dog" battle, lengthy, imposing "The Quest" sequence plus entire "Medusa" cue. Also featured is original (and longer) "Prologue And Main Title" plus shorter revision used for finished film and earlier albums. Entire score presented in glorious stereo from multi-track master elements courtesy Warner Bros. & generous efforts by Lukas Kendall at FSM plus Sony Music. Informative notes by John Takis plus two original artwork campaigns for movie feature in colorful packaging. Laurence Rosenthal conducts London Symphony Orchestra. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 3000 copies!
