Swashbucklers: Swordsmen of the Silver Screen

from: Silva Screen

Release Date September 08, 1997
I went to a great deal of trouble to pick up this album, for two of the scores featured - Howard Blake's The Duellists, and John Du Prez's Crimson Permanent Assurance.

The Crimson Permanent Assurance suffers worse, unfortunately, from a hideously lacklustre orchestration (by Paul Bateman) and by a lack of musical continuity - the album states "Overture" but in reality it is nothing more than five minutes of snatches of melodies from the original 20 minute score.
