The score for Nicholas and Alexandra was only ever released on vinyl LP, by Bell Records in 1971, and has never been legitimately released on CD in any form (although a bootleg, from the British label Artemis, did appear on the market in the early 2000s coupled with Bennett’s score for the 1972 film Lady Caroline Lamb). Nicholas and Alexandra to be a gem from the Silver Age, which must be provided a digital remastering and reissue of the complete score. Schaffner’s plodding pace, especially in the second act, as well as the bloated production hurt the film’s story-telling and reception by the public. Bennett’s music however almost rescued the film with one of his most eloquent and heartfelt scores. In a masterstroke he conceived the Imperial Theme, which captured the emotional core of the film, the terrible tragedy, which brought down the Romanov dynasty and ushered in the cruel and violent Bolshevik new order. Powerful expositions of this theme elevated many scenes to the sublime. The tender Love Theme humanized Nicholas and Alexandra and made them more accessible and relatable. In scene after scene the music was just as effective in conveying the powerful emotions unfolding on the screen as the actor’s words, often achieving a stirring cinematic confluence. https://moviemusicuk.us/2020/10/12/nicholas-and-alexandra-richard-rodney-bennett/ Tracklist: 1 01.
