Franz Waxman
Sunset Blvd.(Sunset Boulevard) (Music From The Motion Picture)
Album US 2010 on Counterpoint label
Soundtrack (Soundtrack)
Franz Waxman's 1950 Academy Award-winning masterpiece finally comes to CD! This first-ever studio-authorized release incorporates all of the surviving elements in the Paramount Pictures music archive (approximately two-thirds of the complete score) along with the original "Prelude" and "Conversing Corpses," a cue for a brilliantly scored deleted scene. Because of their major importance to the film's story, the bonus section also includes all of the surviving source cues—even though some of these tracks have suffered from their years of storage. A final treat is the Jay Livingston–Ray Evans song "Paramount Don't-Want-Me Blues" (not used in the finished film), newly recorded especially for this release by Los Angeles vocalist Whitney Claire Kaufman and pianist Nelson Kole. This double CD contains two 28 and 40 page lavish booklets with scenes on and off camera and many never before photos of Franz Waxman contributed by his son John Waxman. Extensive liner notes by Ryan Brennan and Curt Hardaway. Package design by Jim Titus.
