In the mood for love

The video's title 'In the mood for love' seems obvious, just listen to the music and you'll be touched by its romantic mood. But what if I tell you that the highly romantic music in this video is from a film in a totally different genre! The music in my video features segments from the soundtrack of the horror-thriller 'The return of the invisible man', a 1940-film directed by Joe May, with one of the earliest roles by Vincent Price, at the time one of the genre's most famous actors. I've never seen the film, (and, frankly, I'm not really interested in old horror movies,) but years ago I bought the music. And it took me by surprise.
It's from the album 'The monster music of Hans J. Salter & Frank Skinner', excellently played by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra, conducted by William T. Stromberg. Skinner and Salter were masters in this genre of cinema.
I find this music absolutely gorgeous and it has been one of my favourite soundtracks for years. So, if still for sale, then I highly recommend purchasing this music in the best quality on cd.
The music is very well written and contains nice, open and hauntingly beautiful melodies you can sing along with instantly (if you wish to), all gorgeously newly orchestrated by John Morgan. John Morgan is also the writer of the liner notes, and he confirms my view concerning the romantic mood, when he writes: "In fact, but for a few moments, the score could have easily been written for a tender romance, not a Universal horror film."

So, my choice to combine this music with pictures from the world of cinema, showing mostly beautiful actresses in a highly romantic mood, is, I think, a very justifiable one.

I hope you enjoy this abundance of beauty in sound and vison in my video as much as I do.

have fun...

I had this clip on my "Recommended to you" list. I didn't want it. I wished it would go away, disappear, evapourate. At last I got bored and clicked on it... And I fell in love with this music! I liked it from the very first chords. It's like you find your love where you've never expected to. Thank you for this music.

Hmm, what a surprice! I´v meant that will be the music from Kar Wai Wong´s fantastic movie of the same title; it´s very original and good idea to create a counterpoint from an old horror, powerful music and movie beauties...five stars, good job and thanx!
