THE SHINING Original Soundtrack Vinyl (1980, US) OFFICIAL Warner Brothers RARE LP
Soundtrack to Stanley Kubricks iconic horror masterpiece “The Shining”. Original 1980 US press on Warner Bros HS 3449. VERY RARE and collectable as the soundtrack album on LP was withdrawn due to problems with licensing of the music. It is only available on vinyl and has become a collector’s item. The LP soundtrack omits some pieces heard in the film, and also includes complete versions of pieces of which only fragments are heard in the film. More than a decade after 2001: A Space Odyssey, director Stanley Kubrick reused a controversial trick. Once again, he scrapped almost all of the score that had been written for his new film, The Shiningthis time by synth innovator Wendy Carlos, who had been essential to A Clockwork Orange, and producer/vocalist Rachel Elkindand used only snatches of their work. In the final cut, their sepulchral electronics are only heard in the early scene where the Torrance family navigates the steep roads to their fateful hotel. Still, it is the defining piece of the film, its familiar lumbering rhythm and simple melody haunted by an unease you can never quite identify. In it, Carlos establishes the essence of the creeping dread that dominates the Overlook Hotel. The rest of Carlos unused score is absolutely worth seeking out, in part to reimagine the ways it might have changed The Shining and in part because its terrifying. For the rest of his film, Kubrick opted for the oversized melodrama of modern Eastern European classical music, with the strains of Krzysztof Pendereckis shrieking strings and György Ligetis orchestral lurches hinting at premonitions and fears left unspoken. Ligetis creeping Lontano poisons moments that should be playful or even innocent; Béla Bartóks Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta gives little Dannys tricycle romps the terror of a sweaty nightmare. But The Shining, to an extent, is about haunted spaces, so Kubrick uses period piecesmost famously, Ray Noble and his Orchestras drifting ballroom ballad Midnight, the Stars, and Youto pull ghosts into an unraveling present. These pieces become essential props, as symbolic as Jacks typewriter and as alarming as rivers of blood rushing out of elevators, shaping a latticework of horror that feels as eternal as whatever lurks in Room 237.
