Holocaust – Soundtrack composed and conducted by Morton Gould


Saturday, September 3rd, 2011

KHCD-ST006 (STEREO) – Holocaust – Soundtrack to the NBC-TV Production (1978) – National Philharmonic Orchestra/Morton GouldMorton Gould arranged musical cues from the four-part, nine-and-a-half hour movie into an extended suite, following the story-line sequence of the production. Music that is at once chilling, tender, and ultimately triumphant, this CD restores an important soundtrack to circulation. A must-have for Morton Gould admirers and followers of his art.

I found the LP copy unopened, and, fortunately, it was one of RCA’s better late pressings, with the last generation label emulating the “unshaded dog” labels of the early 60s. It took little in the way of click repair, and didn’t exhibit any vinyl roar while playing ( a problem with some RCA LPs, especially the dreaded Dynaflex pressings). The result is a CD that is true to the analog source.

Thanks for visiting! – Cheers – Curt Timmons
