"84 Charing Cross Road" music by George Fenton A fantastic gift for film music/Hopkins fans! The premiere OUT OF PRINT, LIMITED EDITION of 1000 release of the stunning score! A Varese Club release, only available on CD in this limited edition - now out of print! Review from "Movie wave": "A gentle romance aimed at an intelligent, adult audience, Anne Bancroft plays a lonely New York woman who enters into correspondence with a London bookseller, played by Anthony Hopkins. They send letters to each other for years, without actually meeting. A charming, warm film, it is certainly worthy of your time." "George Fenton was perfect casting for the film. His film composing career was still in relative infancy at the time, but his wonderfully rich, romantic music is ideal for this film. The opening title music is splendid - wistful, full of longing, and unashamedly "English" in a way little film music, even by English composers, has been for fifty years. It's a lovely little portrait of postwar London, and the theme is further expanded in even more romantic fashion in the utterly gorgeous "Book of Love Poems", one of the most attractive pieces of Fenton's career." "There isn't the lush sentiment familiar from Fenton's Hollywood romances here, though - it is full instead of gentle charm. The piano solo of "Dear Speed" could tug far more heartstrings than any wall of strings ever could. Fenton cleverly contrasts the very English nature of the music for the London scenes with equally-charming, but slightly jazzier music for the New York sections, with more than a hint of Gershwin gently interwoven. Perhaps the finest piece is "Pilgrimage - Helene and Frank", a profoundly moving performance of the main theme on Irish flute with subtle dulcimer backing." "This is wonderfully mature, rich, rewarding music. A truly beautiful album." Bid now - before the cross becomes too much to bear! Track listing: 1. Fanfare / Main Title (The Journey) (03:02) 2.
