This comprehensive 2 CD set is the latest instalment in Silva
Screen's "Essential" catalogue. Featuring music
composed by Charlie Chaplin for his feature films as well
as Carl Davis's new scores for the magnificent Mutual Films
shorts...
The
Essential Film Music Collection is
a two disc collection of music composed for Charlie Chaplin
movies. The first disc includes highlights from Chaplins's
musical scores for some of his most well known movies. The
second disc includes Carl Davis's new orchestrated scores
for 12 of Chaplins's short films - a project that Davis began
in 1992, scoring one or two of the films each year.
Charlie
Chaplin was not only a great actor, writer and producer, but
he was an incredibly talented composer. His music puts a lot
of modern composers to shame. There are several songs that
most people will have heard but have no idea that Chaplin
wrote, including Smile, Eternity and This
is My Song.
Davis's
music is equally of merit - an obvious labour of love - and
wonderfully complements Chaplins's short movies. His style
is similar to Chaplin, which is a relief - it would have been
so disappointing to hear music that didn't fit in with the
musical style of his later films.
Whether
you are a serious fan of Charlie Chaplin, or just a collector
of beautiful film scores, this collection is perfect in every
way. It's not just a collection of music from some old black
and white films, it's also represents a beautiful collection
of classical music - a joy from beginning to end.
