News Just In
Again, I have been unable to get any reviewing done today, so here are a couple of brief news items. Hopefully, normal service will be resumed next week.

New Release from Intrada
INTRADA Announces:
BLACK WIDOW
Composed and Conducted by MICHAEL SMALL
INTRADA Special Collection Volume 29
In 1987, the 20th Century Fox thriller BLACK WIDOW hit the screens, starring Debra Winger and Theresa Russell. A deadly seductress marries a series of wealthy men, murders them, collects their estates, and gets away with her crimes thanks to her assumption of multiple identities. But an equally clever female adversary from the Justice Department is soon on her trail and becomes as bewitched as she is repelled by the Black Widow.
Although Michael Small's score for BLACK WIDOW includes a virtuoso display of woodwinds, vibes, harp, and percussion, strings are the stars here: 22 violins, 10 violas, 10 cellos, and four basses. As Bernard Herrmann did with his score for Psycho, Small utilizes the strings to create a piercing psychological intensity. Small's dark, mordant music helped define the sound of thrillers in the '70s and '80s, and this release provides a generous helping of that ground breaking sound.
This Intrada Special Collection release, edited and mastered from the original stereo session masters, is limited to 1200 copies.

Glad to see Michael Small is at last getting some attention. There's a lot of his music that deserves a release. Let's hope this is just the beginning.
