Grandmaster Alfred Newman here presents us music from the earlier days of film making, although he accompanies the fantastic William Wyler directed "Wuthering Heights" tremendously with an absolute understanding of dynamic and color. Cathy's Theme remains unforgettable! This recording has an astonishing sound quality for a 1939 production and while taken from a bootleg CD that just copied the isolated score track from the Laser Disc. However, no other source featuring the original recordings is available to this day, unfortunately, but one can be very happy for this. Enjoy!
@@nstix2009xitsn Hello Nicolas! "Cathy's Theme" is more like a motif than a real theme. It appears here and there throughout the score, as directly in the beginning (about 00:08 in, performed by strings). So, there is no "full version" in the movie but it appears on various albums, arranged and recorded by various performers and orchestras, like this one by Charles Gerhardt and the National Philharmonic Orchestra: ruclips.net/video/sQn50nmt4mA/видео.html Best!

Wunderschöne Filmmusik voller unvergesslichen Melodien! Der geniale Komponist/Dirigent leitet das gut trainierte Orchester im inspirierenden Tempo mit effektiver Dynamik. Die Tonqualität ist erstaunlich hoch als eine Aufnahme von fast achtzig Jahre vor. Klasse!
THANK YOU for this!!! I can't find this soundtrack anywhere on iTunes, but it is so stunningly beautiful and, IMO, even better than the film it comes from. "Cathy's Theme" is one of the greatest pieces of music ever written...
Es una maravilla tu canal Fred. Soy muy aficionado a escuchar las bandas sonoras del cine de antes. Cuando era chico ( tengo 61 años) buscaba todas estas bandas sonoras, pero me era muy dificil y me quedaba con la miel en los labios. Pero hoy gracias a tu canal puedo disfrutar de todas estas maravillas. Gracias mi estimado Soundtrack Fred por subirlas. Un saludo muy afectuoso desde Lima Peru.
Hola Victor, muchas gracias por su buenas palabras! Hablo un picito español, porque tenido una clase de español en mi instituto viejo. Thank you and all the best! Fred
Soundtrack Fred you are beginning to get mind blowing!!!and genius, y'kno?.have more horror films and 50s 60s foreign films please.you're begroovelled!!
I saw this movie back in the 1980's or '90's on TCM or AMC. Thought it was a good picture with two famous stars of the 1930's & '40's. I saw it again just a month or two ago...it's a nice classic novel story. Somewhere from the watching it the first time, to recent, I read that the two main stars, Merle Oberon & Laurence Olivier did not care much for each other for some reason or another. And, in a way, I can kind of tell in the acting of the scenes. Outside of that, it makes a good story. The music is classical in the era of Hollywood of the 1930's.
Gee Fred - what an awful picture of Alfred Newman - thank Heaven's nowadays men realise how dreadful they look with a cigarette dangling from their mouths like Andy Capp. But of course in those days it was considered the height of cool. Lovely gay romantic music. I saw the movie when I was very young. Very romantic and all that but from the distant vista of almost 60 years I'm allowed to say that those two young people were the very worst thing that could have happened to each other...

You have reinforced my view that there is no such thing as progress.
@@nemorable1 Please explain what you mean by 'progress'. It may be that your concept of progress is far different to mine.
Yeah Sue, Heathcliff and Cathy were so different from each other that they hated each other. She had more in common with David Niven's character
@@suecollins3246 Yes Sue, Heatcliff and Cathy should have never been together. She had more in common with David Nivens character
