Moscow So:Stromberg - Salter Dessau: HOUSE OF FRANKENSTEIN

Like Steiner and Korngold, Salter was another of the symphonic composers who worked in Hollywood, having fled there from Germany in 1937. This constituted the original score's first full recording when this disc was first issued on Marco Polo in the mid 1990s. It had been painstakingly reconstructed from a three-line piano reduction by John Morgan and William Stromberg, with the help of the original film sound track, and was issued with Salter's blessing only weeks before his death. Paul Dessau, another emigr?� from Germany whose influences had included Arnold, Schoenberg and Otto Klemperer, co-operated with Salter on the score.
