PAUL WESTON - MUSIC FOR JENNIFER (1954) GMB

One of the most gorgeous of all so-called “easy listening“ records was devoted to music from films that starred Jennifer Jones. This Paul Weston 10-inch LP from 1954 has everything - fine sound, lovely arrangements, excellent themes and a beautiful cover. Paul Weston Weston’s liner notes claim that he got the idea for the album from Jones herself. Call me cynical, but I suspect he more likely got it from Jones’ publicist. Whatever, it makes for a delightful program, later incorporated into a more generic “music from Hollywood“ 12-inch LP. Here are the films and composers represented: Indiscretion of an American Wife - Alessandro Cicognini Portrait of Jennie - Bernard Herrmann Duel in the Sun - Dmitri Tiomkin Since You Went Away - Max Steiner Ruby Gentry - Heinz Roemheld Song of Bernadette - Alfred Newman Love Letters - Victor Young Pistas 1 Autumn In Rome 2 Jennie’s Song 3 Duel In The Sun 4 Since You Went Away 5 In
