Gottfried Huppertz’s lush music for Metropolis received its first significant revival for the 2001 restoration previously issued on dvd. Film and film music fans at the time agreed that this was something of a revelation, both in terms of its revivifying effect on Fritz Lang’s striking imagery and its place film scoring history. It spearheaded a new awareness of just how lavish many of these productions we misnomically deem ‘silents’ were, and has led to other classics being reunited with their rightful symphonic accompaniments.

With the help of a newly discovered Argentine print and the detailed timing instructions in Huppertz’s own score, Metropolis has been reconstructed to very nearly the form in which it was conceived; sub-plots clarified, original editing structure intact and the music presented it in all its glory.

This new studio recording features several previously unheard cues and a wonderfully detailed picture of the Rundfunks orchestra.

I make no apology for enjoying the unmistakable German stimmung of this music. Sure enough, we have echoes of Wagner and Strauss, but it also looks forward in film scoring terms to Herrmann, Waxman and even Williams. This is no mere aural background; there are at least a dozen major themes, by turns grandiose, swooning, suggestive, menacing, bracing and forthright, and the full resources of the orchestra are employed. Huppertz keeps a fine balance between the descriptive and the psychological (has a machine taking on female form ever sounded so sexy?). Freder and Maria have two themes each by my count; themes that implore and hope and desire, ensuring that the characterS ‘speak’ as passionately as any in cinema. Modern ears are likely to be surprised by the dominance of conspicuously full tutti passages, but there are still plenty piquant orchestrations for smaller groups of instruments at the right moments.

However you slice it, this is a big score. There are inevitably a few longeurs involving repetition in the space of 2 ½ hours of continuous music. I did consider arranging a highlights suite, but in the final analysis it wouldn't do justice to the scope of what I feel is one of the medium’s first masterpieces. Instead, I’ve presented the complete unexpurgated score, ripped from the ‘lossless’ blu-ray audio files and appropriately segmented and tagged. You're all welcome. Good to see some fans of this score! Just to be clear about the specs for anyone on the fence: - sourced from the blu-ray DTS-HD 2.0 track - extracted using eac3to - complete score - 11 tracks - 30 mins longer than the previous version - encoded in lame 3.98.4 V0 VBR I should add that it's a better performance AND better recording to begin with, so the improvement is quite significant!
