Elmer Bernstein Artist Snapshot:

Elmer Bernstein was one of the most prolific and highly regarded film composers of the 20th century. His big breakthrough was the 1955 Frank Sinatra film THE MAN WITH THE GOLDEN ARM, which was the first movie to feature an all-jazz score and begat countless imitators. A year later, he unfurled the massive orchestrations for Cecil B. DeMille's highly touted big-budget epic THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. Bernstein worked ceaselessly throughout the ensuing decades, his scores for THE GRIFTERS, TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN being among the most notable.

Although New York-born film composer Elmer Bernstein was so prolific and accomplished that no single-disc collection could truly present all of his finest moments, this 16-track disc does an excellent job of cherry-picking pieces from his most notable scores. Arranged on the basis of song-to-song flow rather than chronology, this edition of GREAT COMPOSERS leads off with a set of Bernstein's finest compositions for Westerns, most notably the powerful theme from THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN, and moves into the subtler territory of his work for dramas such as TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD (that movie's atmospheric "Main Title") and MY LEFT FOOT (the lilting "Love Spoken"). Closing the set is Bernstein's appropriately epic "Suite" for THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, which was one of the first movies to garner his music serious attention. While Bernstein aficionados will likely own many of the individual soundtracks represented here already, GREAT COMPOSERS is ideal for those seeking to sample the scope of his cinematic work.
