description
While a weak movie sequel to King Kong, The Son of Kong features more great music from Max Steiner.
But of more interest on this fine disc is Steiner’s music for the 1932 horror film The Most Dangerous Game. It was composed in only two weeks by Steiner who was called in to replace another composer whose music was deemed “too light”. Steiner’s spine-tingling music accompanying the tale of a sinister count who hunts humans for sport on his remote island was brilliant, yet the score was lost until arranger John Morgan reorchestrated Steiner’s sketches for this recording. Morgan says he “dreaded” the cryptic 70-year-old notes he discovered from Steiner to his orchestrators saying things like: “Phone me and I’ll explain.” The Moscow Symphony Orchestra and conductor William Stromberg play it all with great style. • Andy Cooper, Leader-Post, January 2007
