Music and radio plays

In this section all music and radio play (hoorspelen) are discussed.

Radio play/ Hoorspel/ Hörspiel There are at least two German and one UK radio play published on LP (for the kids; this was what we use before the CD!) The German LP's are published by Disneyland Records (Nr.DQ 9434) in 1975. The titles are "Am Hof von König Arthur"and "Ritter Gawains Befreiung". I don't know to much about the UK version, see the picture yourself (the first three pictures below).

The 1954 movie soundtrack single CD; This is the original single CD from the 1954 movie. Re-released by Exchange in 1991. This is 3000 unit limited collectors edition CD of the CD release of the original soundtrack recordings composed by Franz Waxman for the 1954 film Prince Valiant. This is considered to be one of Franz Waxman's greatest scores: a stirring knights-and-adventure work in the classic symphonic tradition of The Adventures of Robin Hood and Star Wars. It features a dynamic set of themes and variations: a brash, heroic melody for Prince Valiant (Robert Wagner), swelling love music for Princess Aleta (Janet Leigh), a noble theme for Sir Gawain (Sterling Hayden), malevolent material for Sir Brack (James Mason), and many other motives and melodies for the settings and ideas. Charles Gerhardt (to whom this album is dedicated) recorded a suite from Prince Valiant to open his Classic Film Scores of Franz Waxman volume in the early 1970s. This CD presents the premiere release of the original soundtrack as conducted by Waxman for the film. It has been remixed in stereo from the original 35mm magnetic film elements and carries forth the crisp, energetic playing of the 20th Century Fox studio orchestra. Fortunately, almost all of the score has survived in excellent condition, particularly the exciting and action-filled material for the movie's third act, when Valiant is captured and must escape to fight his enemies. Sadly, certain incidental fanfares have been lost, and an eight-minute swath of music was afflicted with noticeable mag wow--this has been included at the end of the disc as a bonus track.
