Varese Sarabande Announces August 2021 CD Club Titles: Dante's Peak' By John Frizzell & 'Love Field' By Jerry Goldsmit
New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Varèse Sarabande Records is thrilled to announce its August 2021 CD Club titles: Dante's Peak (The Deluxe Edition) by John Frizzell  - with themes by James Newton Howard - and Love Field (The Deluxe Edition) by Jerry Goldsmith. These titles are available today, August 27, exclusively on VareseSarabande.com and internationally on Intl.VareseSarabande.com. The CD Club launched its official start in 1989 and has been a staple of the label ever since, relaunching classic titles from renowned composers such as John Williams and Ennio Morricone, among many others.

Dante's Peak (The Deluxe Edition):
The 1990s saw a revival of the Hollywood disaster epic, with two large-budget volcano films competing in early 1997 - and both Dante's Peak and Volcano had their soundtracks released by Varèse Sarabande. Following the Deluxe Edition of Volcano in 2020, this 2-CD set of Dante's Peak expands its massive John Frizzell score - with themes by James Newton Howard - in a triumph of explosive, symphonic '90s action.

Dante's Peak was directed by Roger Donaldson (The Bounty, Species) and starred Pierce Brosnan and Linda Hamilton in escaping a Mount St. Helens-type blast in Washington State. James Newton Howard was initially hired to compose the score but left due to scheduling. Howard contributed two main themes, for the volcano and the film's romantic relationship, and recommended John Frizzell for the score (as the two had done on The Rich Man's Wife).

Working at a furious pace, Frizzell composed a massive, symphonic score befitting the life-or-death struggle of outrunning a catastrophic volcano—but also containing moments of grandeur, suspense and softer contemplation. "I'm very structural," Frizzell told Tim Greiving, interviewed jointly with Donaldson for the new liner notes. "So, I actually drew maps of the film, placing James' themes in key moments and trying to break down structurally how I wanted to have a roadmap—knowing how much tension I needed to have and where I could hit the throttle."

Varèse Sarabande's Deluxe Edition of Dante's Peak features the 93-minute score across disc one and two, with the 1997 half-hour album at the end of disc two.

Love Field (The Deluxe Edition):
Jerry Goldsmith was delighted to turn to "people pictures" in the early 1990s, seeking a change of pace from the action and genre movies that had dominated his schedule. The Russia House was the first, followed not long thereafter by another drama starring Michelle Pfeiffer: Love Field, directed by Jonathan Kaplan (The Accused). Pfeiffer and Dennis Haybert starred in an interracial romance amidst the racial strife of 1963 Texas, in the aftermath of the Kennedy assassination.

Goldsmith composed a tender Americana score for Love Field, with lyrical strings and bluesy piano offering warmth and period flavorings, not unlike his gentle, humanistic music for actual 1960s dramas. The film also features moments of suspense and action—as society looked askance on relations between races at the time—which Goldsmith captured with more intense strains.

Released by Varèse Sarabande at the time of the film, Goldsmith's Love Field soundtrack has been expanded to nearly double the length for this Deluxe Edition. Also included is a bonus section of blues piano tracks performed by the prestigious rock and blues pianist Bill Payne, which replaced some of Goldsmith's music in the finished film.

Liner notes by Tim Greiving include new interview comments with Jonathan Kaplan and Bill Payne. Kaplan recalls advice from his father, the composer Sol Kaplan: "If you ever get the chance to work with Jerry Goldsmith, take it." Good advice!
