More Music from Peter Gunn



Gunn



The Pink Panther



Return of the Pink Panther



Touch of Evil/The Night Visitor


and also some non-Mancini fare:


Kings Row - Erich Wolfgang Korngold



The Madwoman of Chaillot - Michael Lewis

A Fine Mess - David Baerwald & the New Folk Underground

A Fine Mess was a gift to fans of David Baerwald from the man himself - you had to order it though a fan website. Essentially, some of these songs were revised and released later as HERE COMES THE NEW FOLK UNDERGROUND on Lost Highway Records, while the original limited release goes for high amounts on auction sites.

Spring into some Contemporary Classical music

Another area of interest - contemporary classical music. Not that far removed from soundtracks, which is contemporary instrumental works, NOT for the concert stage - the following are intended for the concert stage.



Elliot Goldenthal has a foot in both worlds, though he's probably more for his film scoring - he has an impressive concert cv - OTHELLO is his ballet, staged in San Francisco and also available on DVD.



Aaron Copland is widely known - but these early works for ballet weren't, until their recording in the mid 1990's.



Metropolis Symphony is inspired by the Superman comics... composer Daugherty is known for works about pop culture. He's most known for his opera, JACKIE O, which premiered in the late 90's.
