Additional Product Features
Additional informationPersonnel includes: Hummie Mann (conductor); Stuart Canin (violin). Includes liner notes by Marc Shaiman. Bless Marc Shaiman for good instincts and director Barry Sonnenfeld for letting Shaiman run with them, because the end result, at least in the case of the Addams Family films, is wonderful. Aside from the nod to Vic Mizzy's TV theme at the start, and the wildly inchoate "Mamushka" midway (with lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green), the score gets firmly rooted in classic gothic and melodrama underscores of the 1940s, with grandly passionate orchestral swells just perfect for sweeping entrances down long staircases, grand exits by tragic heroines stage left, and meaningful moments involving tense-jawed heroes discovering their mission or the Madness (or both.) In Shaiman and Sonnenfeld's world of the Addams Family, however, the staircases creak an awful lot, the heroine exiting left is Morticia, who loves tragedy ("Don't torture yourself, Gomez, darling. That's my job..."), and the tense-jawed hero's mission is the madness, at least in the case of Gomez Addams. Shaiman's music fits like a glove, never descending to deliberate silliness -- but teetering on the edge constantly, chuckling into the abyss. In this world, give this album three thumbs up. ~ Steven McDonald
