DOWSE Guide to the Movies
by Tony Lee editor of Pigasus Press

Devil Rides Out: The Film Music of James Bernard

various, Silva Screen, FILMCD 174

Films from the Hammer studios had many instantly recognisable characteristics, not least their outstanding music, and this new collection of themes written by Hammer's main composer, James Bernard should be of interest to all fans of the studio. Bernard wrote lush scores for most of the classic Hammer movies and on this cd you will find themes and suites of music taken from Kiss Of The Vampire, She, Frankenstein Created Woman, The Devil Rides Out, The Scars Of Dracula, and a specially arranged 'Quatermass' Suite. Newly recorded in digital format by the Westminster Philharmonic and the City of Prague orchestras, and conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman and Nic Raine, this cd is a joy to listen to. Not least because you don't have to put up with the atrocious prints that are all that seem to exist on video or TV. Definitely one for all Hammer fans.
