Summertime
Alfred Newman and His Hollywood Symphony Orchestra
Mercury Records MG 20038
From the back cover: In his (Newman's) capacity as general musical director of 20th Century-Fox Studios, he has one of the biggest musical responsibilities in the entire entertainment world. He is the possessor of four Academy Awards for his musical scores of "Alexander's Ragtime Band", "Song Of Bernadette", "Tin Pan Alley" and "Mother Wore Tights". Other great dramatical films which have been graced with Newman's musical touch are "Wuthering Heights", "How Green Was My Valley", "Keys Of The Kingdom", "Wilson", "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn", "Leave Her To Heaven," "The Grapes Of Wrath" and many others.
Many critics have likened Mr. Newman's musical insight (the quality of being able to bring out the true meaning of the composer) to that of Toscanini.
