Die SACD verwendet eine höhere digitale Auflösung als die Audio-CD und bietet außerdem die Möglichkeit, Mehrkanalton (Raumklang) zu speichern. Um die Musik in High-End-Qualität genießen zu können, wird ein spezieller SACD-Player benötigt. Dank Hybrid-Funktion sind die meisten in unserem Shop mit "SACD" gekennzeichneten Produkte auch auf herkömmlichen CD-Playern abspielbar. Dann allerdings unterscheidet sich der Sound nicht von einer normalen CD. Bei Abweichungen weisen wir gesondert darauf hin (Non-Hybrid).

Das Kino lässt unsere Träume wahr werden. Und die Musik zum Film ist das Tor zu unserer Fantasy, funktioniert sie doch auch ohne die Bilder. Große Fantasy-Filme, die uns mit ihren Mythen und ihren Abenteuern in Welten führen, die auch jenseits des Irdischen angesiedelt sind, locken die Menschen an, seit die Bilder laufen lernten. Drei mehrteilige Epen, die unsere Imaginationskraft besonders beflügeln, sind George Lucas' Starwars Saga, J. K. Rowlings Harry Potter und J. R.R. Tolkiens The Lord of the Rings. Mit viel Thrill und noch mehr Tricktechnik auf die Leinwand gebracht, faszinieren sie uns ebenso wie auch die jeweiligen Scores, die von renommierten Hollywood-Komponisten John Williams (Star Wars", Harry Potter) und Howard Shore (The Lord Of The Rings Trilogy) auf den Weg gebracht wurden. Allesamt sind sie Steilvorlagen für den erfolgreichsten Klassik-Crossover-Künstler Erich Kunzel, der seit 1977 das von ihm gegründete Cincinnati Pops Orchestra leitet. Mit den im September 2005 in der Cincinnati Music Hall im DSD-Verfahren aufgenommen drei Soundtracks, zeigen die Cincinnati Pops abermals, dass sie zu den besten Interpreten zeitgenössische Orchesterwerke gehören. Von stürmischer Wucht ist das mit Fanfarenklängen beginnende Hauptthema aus „Star Wars - Episode IV“, das zu den schönsten und wichtigsten Themen aus allen fünf Star Wars-Episoden führt. In einem rasanten Mix aus romantischen Stimmungen und quirligen Vaudeville-Klängen, führt das Epos am Ende zum düsteren „Revenge of the Sith“, in das sich auf dem Album auch die Stimme des Cincinnati May Festival Chorus' einklinken. Nicht minder dramatisch, an skandinavische und britische Klassiker - von Grieg bis Elgar - angelehnt, ist John Williams Soundtrack zu Harry Potter, dem sich Kunzel und die Cincinnati Pops mit stimmungsvollen, großformatigen Arrangements annehmen. Beim furiosen Abgesang mit der „Lord of the Rings Trilogy“, werden schließlich Herz und Gemüt der Hörer weit geöffnet, um die Mischung aus zarten Pretiosen und Bläser-Bombast ungetrübt genießen zu können.
For many of us, the silver screen is a window into an imaginary life. Entire worlds of fantasy and adventure thrill and excite us, lift us above the everyday, and remain embedded in our hearts and minds long after the final credits roll.
Much of the illusion is conjured by the musical score that accompanies the story. Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra tap into this big-screen magic on their new Telarc release, Great Film Fantasies, a recording that brings together the music from three great cinematic epics of the past few decades—Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, and Harry Potter.
Great Film Fantasies focuses on the music of two of today’s greatest movie music composers, John Williams (Star Wars, Harry Potter) and Howard Shore (The Lord of the Rings). The journey begins in a galaxy far, far away, and follows director George Lucas’ Star Wars saga in the order in which the six-part film series was produced. The sequence opens with Williams’ majestic “Main Theme” from Episode IV: A New Hope, followed by “Princess Leia” and the spirited “Cantina Band.” “The Imperial March” and “Yoda’s Theme,” both from Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back, range from the menacing to the mystical, while “Luke and Leia,” from Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, celebrates the two central heroes of the Star Wars series.
The remaining Star Wars tracks turn back to the genesis of the film saga with “Duel of the Fates” and “Anakin’s Theme,” both from Episode I: The Phantom Menace, followed by “Across the Stars” (from Episode II: Attack of the Clones) and “Battle of the Heroes” (from Episode III: The Revenge of the Sith).
Author J. K. Rowling has tapped a deep vein of wonder and mystery in her books about the boy wizard Harry Potter and the forces of good and evil. Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops give us a glimpse into that wizardry via three Williams compositions: “Harry’s Wondrous World” from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, “The Chamber of Secrets” from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and “Aunt Marge’s Waltz” from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
J. R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings is regarded by many as the finest of all modern literary fantasies. Here Kunzel and the CPO perform pivotal compositions from The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: “May it Be” & Themes from The Fellowship of the Ring, followed by “The Hornburg” from The Two Towers and “The Ride of the Rohirrim from The Return of the King.
Like the movies that inspired the recording, the grandeur and excitement of Great Film Fantasies is guaranteed to bring out the wide-eyed child in all of us and help us to appreciate the critical role of the movie music composer in making our dreams and fantasies come alive.
