The first listening experience from the Raksin box set is the score from the film THE MAN WITH A CLOAK, a film released back in 1951 with Joseph Cotten as Edgar Alan Poe. As i read in the liner notes of the wonderful booklet, Raksin used an unusual 18th century inspired instrumentation for the music and revealed that the unique main theme of the film is based on a 12-tone row using the notes in a way that they would spell the name E-D-G-A-R!!!
Lukas you did it again man!!
The score is not a jaw-dropping experience but still remains as a very noble and sincere attempt by the great composer to compose really good film music.
