Seance On A Wet Afternoon

Seance On A Wet Afternoon JOHN BARRY Quartet Records present the vinyl edition of it's brand-new recording of John Barry's complete score for SÉANCE ON A WET AFTERNOON (1964), a major work previously missing from the composer's discography. It was one of his masterpieces for Bryan Forbes that, unfortunately, remained unreleased due to the absence of master tapes. Composed for a small ensemble featuring vibrant percussion and woodwinds, it's a mysterious, suggestive, unsettling score, reaching it's culmination in the long rescue sequence. It showcases John Barry's great ability to work with small, almost chamber-like ensembles, seeking the specific sound of each story without being an intrusive voice. - Leigh Phillips has painstakingly reconstructed and orchestrated the score, which was performed by the prestigious Orquesta de Córdoba conducted by Fernando Velázquez. Recorded and mixed by Marc Blanes, the audio has been meticulously mastered by Chris Malone and the spirit of Barry's original recording. With elegant design by Nacho B. Govantes and cover art designed by Jim Titus presented in a hard tip-on sleeve, it includes liner notes by Jon Burlingame. The discs are pressed in 140 GM black vinyl. LIMITED
