THE BOUNTY - Music from the Motion Picture by Vangelis

(CD comes W/Free Digital Download/Digital booklet)Click here for Digital-Only Download BSX RECORDS is proud to present of a new recording of the score for the 1984 film, The Bounty, composed by electronic music pioneer Vangelis (Chariots of Fire, Blade Runner).  Vangelis’ music is faithfully recreated by multimedia composer, orchestrator and arranger Dominik Hauser.   The Bounty is based on Richard Hough’s fictional account of the events that led to the mutiny on the HMS Bounty in 1789, Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian.  It was originally intended as a two-part vehicle from famed director David Lean, and was to feature a score by his frequent collaborator Maurice Jarre.  After Warner Bros. withdrew their support for the film and Robert Bolt suffered a stroke while writing the film, Lean left the project.  Dino De Laurentiis, who had already sunk 4 million dollars into the production, was able to secure a deal from Orion Pictures and hired Roger Donaldson to take over as director.   For
