Young Sherlock Holmes Soundtrack CD (Updated Edition) 3 CD Set by Bruce Broughton:
We present an updated edition of one of its most popular titles—Bruce Broughton's score to the 1985 Paramount Pictures film Young Sherlock Holmes.This refresh, overseen by Chris Malone, updates and addresses some anomalies in the prior release. As with the prior release, the album is sourced from the film mix created by Eric Tomlinson and from the original LP master. The 3-CD package includes the complete score from the Tomlinson mixes as well as additional extras and of course the complete LP program as originally assembled by Broughton in 1985. The album also features updated cover art by Stéphane Coëdel.
Broughton was relatively new to the theatrical side of the business when he was tapped to score Young Sherlock Holmes, having worked mostly in television for the first decade of his career. Director Barry Levinson’s kinetic film, with its fluid pace and wide variety of tones, presented him with a fresh yet daunting challenge. Broughton responded with a stunning, wall-to-wall symphonic work that made a deep impression on soundtrack fans and industry professionals alike, earning a GRAMMY nomination for Best Instrumental Composition and winning a Saturn Award for Best Music from the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy & Horror Films.
The original MCA Records album, released on LP and cassette, received high marks in Billboard, who praised it as “a traditional orchestral score, which Broughton infuses with both dash and sweetness.” Remarkably, the MCA album never made the transition to a commercial CD until Intrada licensed it.
Young Sherlock Holmes was the brainchild of three primary parents: writer Chris Columbus, executive producer Steven Spielberg and director Barry Levinson.The central premise of Young Sherlock Holmes suggests that Holmes and Watson did not first meet as adults in a chemical laboratory at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, but as adolescents. In the story, a series of baffling murders puts young Holmes on the trail of an Egyptian cult practicing human sacrifice in the bowels of London. Dismissed by the police and maligned by his peers, the budding detective sets out with only a few close allies to unravel the plot—culminating in a fiery confrontation with an evil mastermind bent on revenge.
