• Lyhyt kuvaus CD 1 Elizabeth Taylor In London Filmed in London, the US TV documentary ‘Elizabeth Taylor In London’ premiered in October 1963. Elizabeth Taylor’s voice is featured on six tracks, reading from “Westminster Bridge” by William Wordsworth, “Portuguese Sonnets” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Queen Victoria’s diary and extracts from speeches by William Pitt, Queen Elizabeth I and Sir Winston Churchill. John Barry’s score earned him an Emmy nomination for Outstanding Achievement in Composing Original Music for Television. CD 2 Zulu Soundtrack from the Bafta nominated film, originally released on the Ember label in 1964, the LP comprises soundtrack music (with two of the tracks incorporating narration by Richard Burton), followed by “A Selection of Zulu Stamps”, which are essentially beat instrumentals flavoured with southern African influences. CD 3 Four In The Morning The third film for actress Judi Dench, earning her a BAFTA award for Most Promising Newcomer of 1966. Originally released on the Ember label in 1966, the LP comprises John Barry’s original haunting score, plus four excerpts of dialogue featuring actors Dench, Ann Lynn, Norman Rodway, Brian Phelan and Joe Melia. The film won the award for best feature film at the 1965 Locarno International Film Festival CD 4 The Ember Singles Plus Gathered together here are John Barry recordings released between 1963 and 1965. These include a brace of Bond themes, a trio of lovely waltzing instrumentals (one originally licensed to United Artists) which would now be termed lounge music, Barry’s own performances of two of the themes from Elizabeth Taylor In London and single mixes of two of the “stamps” from Zulu. Barry has been credited as producer on Christine, an entertaining commentary on the Profumo affair, sung by actress Joyce Blair under the alias of Miss X and penned by celebrated writer Leslie Bricusse. Rounding out the selection are From Russia With Love with organ in the mix and stereo mixes of Kinky and Fancy Dance.
