Vivere

Titus (OS 1999)

? CD doesn't have any information

This is either a genuine recording from the '30s or thereabouts, or a very clever fake

Victorious Titus

Titus (OS 1999)

London Metropolitan Orchestra, English Chamber Choir

Typical (and appropriate) bombast

Pickled Heads

Titus (OS 1999)

Probably the Pickled Heads Band

Oddest film music cut in my experience. One of many remarkable cuts on this album.

Amphibian (Mark Bell Mix)

Being John Malkovich (OS 1999)

Björk

No, I don't have any idea what the title refers to.

Malkovich Masterpiece Remix

Nick Peck, piano; John Malkovich, vocals

Written by Peck and director Spike Jonze (can that be his real name?). Most of the rest of the score is not nearly as bizarre as these two cuts, alas.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (Titles)

Cinema Concerto (CD 2000)

Orchestra and Chorus of the Accademia di Santa Cecilia, cond. by Ennio Morricone

Love

Minelli on Minelli (OC 2000)

Liza Minelli, chorus

Minelli on Minelli is a one-woman show of Liza Minelli performing songs from films directed by her father, Vincente Minelli. This was recorded live for an obviously sympathetic audience at The Palace in NYC on 12/8/1999. The song itself is originally from Ziegfeld Follies (1946)

Bounce Me Brother With a Solid Four

Swing! (OC 1999)

Ann Hampton Callaway, Douglas Oberhamer, trumpet

A musical revue of music from the "swing" period. This one was originally from the Abbott and Costello movie Buck Privates (1941), which also gave us "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy"

I'll Be Seeing You

Ann Hampton Callaway

This Sammy Fain / Irving Kahal masterpiece was a wartime hit for Bing Crosby. The song (by Hugh Martin and Ralph Blaine, who also wrote the score for Meet Me in St. Louis) is originally from the 1938 musical Right This Way

Stompin' at the Savoy

Ann Hampton Callaway

Lyrics by Callaway

Mardi Gras (from Mississippi Suite)

Grand Canyon Suite (LP date unknown)

Hollywood Bowl Symphony, cond. by Felix Slatkin

Not a rew release, but a little something for St. Louis' Soulard Mardi Gras. Felix Slatkin was the father of former St. Louis Symphony conductor Leonard Slatkin.
