Editorial Reviews
From ClassicsToday.com
Nine times out of ten, when I see a 1940s or '50s movie and can't place the music (is it Steiner? maybe Victor Young?), the answering credit on the screen will proclaim: Roy Webb. This self-effacing composer produced some 300 Hollywood scores yet is the man least remembered when one is talking about film music. William T. Stromberg and John Morgan, who helm 90 percent of Marco Polo's film music series, have tried to set that right with this release, which features suites from the moody horror films associated with producer Val Lewton. The music is barely noticeable when you watch the movies, partly because of the noisy optical tracks, which swallow woodwind solos like a frog gulps mayflies; but also because these scores don't call attention to themselves owing to their effectiveness at complementing the movie they accompany. In his excellent notes, which really amount to an extended essay, Scott MacQueen points out that Webb was the very best composer at writing music that could accompany dialogue without obscuring it. Taking the scores out of the movie and putting them in the studio and on CD allows us to discover some positively rhapsodic melodies and some genuinely scary stuff, too, all of it totally effective. This is music of very high quality, and it is played to a turn by the excellent orchestra. Stromberg unerringly guides the players in the right direction to produce readings that seem entirely idiomatic and definitive. The recorded sound is about as good as one could ask for.

Roy.......2007-04-17

This Webb has snared me........2002-06-10

Cat People-The Aftermath is also very moving, reminiscent of the best work of Prokofiev and Shostakovich (who also wrote movie-music).

A good introduction to the genre of popular film scores for those who prefer classics. Those who enjoy this should check out Sondheim's Sweeney Todd.

Another classic re-recording.......2000-11-01

New Webb disc a Revelation.......2000-06-27

What happens when you pull this music away from its source and bring it out into the light? To me the result is a revelation. Far from being just a series of chromatic chords and orchestral effects, Webb's music is multi-layered; relying on complex counterpoint, impressionist-like harmonies and thoroughly-worked thematic development for its effect. He's been described as a composer ahead of his time and I can understand why. His methods of scoring resemble those more commonly used in the 1950s and 60s when composers such as North, Friedhofer, Bernstein and Goldsmith were paring down the rhetoric and bombast that had afflicted so many scores during Hollywood's "Golden Age". Webb seems to have led the way in this regard and its sad that he has lingered in near obscurity for so long.

I should have known that John Morgan and Bill Stromberg would come to them rescue. They have similarly served other underrated composers such as H.J. Salter, Frank Skinner and Hugo Friedhofer and their discs devoted to these composers have been the highlights of the Marco Polo series. This new Webb disc is now my absolute favorite. Aside from the fact that the music is extraordinarily good, I also feel this disc features Bill Stromberg's very best and most sensitive conducting captured in sound that is superior to other issues in this series. That may be the result of a change of recording venues for this disc, along with the brilliant new recording of mystery and horror scores by Salter and Skinner, was recorded using the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra rather than the usual Moscow Symphony Orchestra. The war in Serbia evidently made it impossible for Morgan and Stromberg to get to Moscow at the time these recordings were made. I was initially disappointed when I learned that Marco Polo had chosen Bratislava and the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra because I haven't been too impressed with that orchestra's playing on other Marco Polo discs - especially those conducted by Adriano. Here they sound completely in sync with Webb's idiom. I can only guess that the combination of the music and Stromberg's inspired musical leadership drew from them their very best playing.

As is usually the case with these old scores, Morgan had to rely on piano reductions and his extraordinary ears to reconstruct the music. Webb's scoring is much more subtle and chamber-like and Morgan has resisted the temptation to beef it up. There were only a few places where I felt a fuller string sound would have helped such as in the main titles for Bedlam and The Seventh Victim, otherwise the reconstructions sound note perfect to my ears. Morgan had literally hundreds of Webb scores to chose from when compiling this disc but he selected a few that Webb wrote for RKO producer Val Lewton. It was the perfect choice. The Lewton/Webb partnership is one of the less lauded but most significant in the history of film. Lewton's films are frequently described as psychological horror films and almost all contain a "walk" or long stretch during which one of the characters travels through some ominous landscape to escape danger or resolve a conflict. The most famous example may be the walk through the sugar canes in I Walked With A Zombie or little Teresa's evening journey to buy flour in The Leopard Man. These segments are devoid of dialogue. A less sophisticated composer may have papered such delicate scenes with layers of music but not Roy Webb. His scoring, when it's used, is subtly integrated into all the other elements of the scene in a way uncommon with film scoring during that time. Lewton was extremely fortunate to have had access to a composer whose understated style so beautifully reflected his own.

This disc contains extended suites from Cat People and The Seventh Victim and shorter suites from Bedlam, The Body Snatcher and I Walked With A Zombie. It's a generously filled disc (70 minutes) and Morgan has done his usual masterful job in putting the suites together. I'm especially pleased that he has given us so much of the score for The Seventh Victim. It is an absolute masterpiece and the highlight of this disc. The film itself is Lewton's darkest and Webb's score is mesmerizing in the way that it is manages to be both eerily beautiful and deeply unsettling. Listen to the cues "The Palladists' Trial", "The Chase" and "Desirous of Death" and you'll hear Webb's art at its absolute zenith. His use of instrumental color is as original as Bernard Herrmann's but a good deal more subtle. His use of whirling counterpoint disturbed by occasional flashes of harsh dissonance is typical as is the emphasis on harmony and instrumental sonority. In this regard, Webb's music sounds very impressionistic but he is more of the English than French school, I believe. Webb's music does at times remind me of the music of Arnold Bax, Frank Bridge and John Ireland and I like to think that hearing these scores gives us some idea of what those masters might have written if they had ever composed music for a horror film.

My only complaint about this Seventh Victim suite is that it omits the tender music for the scene where Jason and Mary view the search light outside his apartment window. It was included in Christopher Palmer's much briefer suite recorded by Stanley Black but that recording is long out of print. I suspect there was enough time available to include it here but its absence is sorely felt.

We do get a lengthy suite from Cat People and that music has its moments of menace but the overall tone is tragic for it expresses the conflicted emotions of the film's protagonist, the haunted Irena, so beautifully played by the great Simone Simon. Also beautiful is the score for I Walked With A Zombie. Morgan assembled a small chorus of basses for the "Zombie Chant" and their inclusion is indicative of the care and attention given to recreating these scores for recording. They've also included the street beggar's ballad from The Body Snatcher sung by Maria Knapkova. Her diction is a little awkward but she captures the spirit of the song and it adds immensely to the suite. I hope Morgan and Stromberg can be convinced to give us the complete score to The Body Snatcher for it is another masterwork and there is much great music not included in this suite. I would recommend Webb's score for Curse of The Cat People as a companion. I'd love to hear what Morgan and Stromberg would do with that gorgeous music.

The Slovak orchestra plays these scores with tremendous sensitivity. Bill Stromberg captures the atmosphere and mood of the music without allowing it to become staid or monotonous. He has really developed into a fine conductor and I'm delighted to see him branching out into recording concert music as well. I can't imagine his performances of this music ever being bettered and I suspect Roy Webb would have been thrilled if he had lived long enough to hear it. I hope having more of his music available will bring about a renewed interest in his music for he was one of the greatest and most original practitioner in his field. This disc receives my highest possible recommendation.

Spooky and lovely film music from the film noir past.......2000-06-20

(8.225125): "Cat people," "Bedlam," "The Body Snatcher," "The 7th Victim," and "I Walked With a Zombie." I have stopped in many cases complaining about film scores without the visuals which they were meant to complement. Let us say that if a listener has no knowledge of the film and can enjoy the bits and pieces of the soundtrack music purely on its own merits as a series of little tone poems, then the recording has succeeded. Period.

This offering, played by the Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra under William T. Stromberg, fits the bill very nicely. Of course, it helps if you recall the films--and perhaps recall how we paid so little attention to the music (except during the opening and closing credits, if then)--from which recollections you can judge how beautifully apt most of these selections are.

The booklet is especially informative and nicely illustrated. Much recommended.

A bargain collection of showtunes.......2005-08-19

This bargain collection of showtunes is highlighted by the composition of Kurt Weill and the uniquely rolling tongue of Colette Lyons. I have a complaint about this compilation. It includes "Ol' Man River", but it excludes Al Jolson's rendition of "Ol' Man River." Otherwise, this collection gives you ample bang for your buck.

original soundtracks recordings from classic horror.......2007-05-01

If you are a classic horror film buff, like me, you'll love this CD containing ORIGINAL soundtrack recordings from the films. Taken from isolation tracks from the masters ( that means music and sound effects only, no dialogue), this is the only CD I know of that has the music directly from the films, NOT re-recorded! Ok, some tracks definitly show their age, but fascinating to listen to none the less. The wolf man is probably the strongest and most recognizable of the tracks, but once you start listening, all those dark, creepy Saturday nights watching Creature Features will come back to you...wonderful!

This is a fantastic collection of film music by Roy Webb. The sources for the CD tracks are actual recordings made by RKO at the time of the isolated music tracks for the films. So, you get the actual music track but no dialog. Great stuff. The list on Amazon is incomplete and therefore doesn't really convey the great variety of scores on this disc.

As i read on an Roy Webb Page yesterday the material on this cd consists of original soundtrack material from the 40s! The qualtity is quite good, in fact as good as possible because some of the material was slightly deteriorated. Alls tracks were digitally cleaned up/remasterd. Nevertheless, you have the original Hollywood Studio Orchestra Sound from the 40s! What can i say more... A must have to lovers of exellent old hollywood film music!!
