Golden Age Of Science Fiction: Vol. 3 / O.S.T. - The Golden Age Of Science Fiction: Vol. 3 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Over the course of nine years, Tony Schwartz collected the sounds of New York, seeking to record Inchthe audible expression of life.Inch Originally produced as a radio program for WNYC, the finished product is a lucid representation of the city, capturing street sounds, immigrant voices, lively music, raindrops, bird songs, and even the pragmatic advice of the city's cabbies. Part anthropological study, part hometown travelogue, the recordings contextualize the city's shifting rhythms and urban folklore as a meaningful collection of sounds, each one with a specific purpose and significance to the eight million inhabitants (plus an unknown number of cats and dogs). Schwartz's New York is not just an imposing mystical metropolis, but a palpable place where people of all ages live their lives.

Delightful classic title tracks, themes and suites from films that became legends during Hollywood's Golden Age, including the suite from Marlon Brando's iconic film on the Waterfront and the suite from Billy Wilder's classic thriller Double Indemnity, will thrill you like it's the first time you've heard them. Performed with great style by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra with Gramophone Award winning American conductor Richard Bernas; This is the third in the RPO's series the Golden Age of Hollywood recordings, following the success of Volume 1 (RPO 017) and Volume 2 (RPO 022), and it was recorded at London's Cadogan Hall.
