Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music composed and conducted by Alex North

Produced by Robert Townson

A film music celebration like no other!  Never has there been as elaborate a production of a single film score in all of film music history.

SPARTACUS is here! 

6 CDs … 1 DVD  … a deluxe 168-page book!!

Alex North is the father of modern film music — an inspiration and a hero to the generations that followed him.

“For those of us coming of age in the 1950s, and seriously interested in film music, Alex North was an inspiration, a role model and a hero.  He was then and he remains so today."   – John Williams
Jerry Goldsmith himself put it very succinctly, when speaking of Alex: “Of all of us, he’s the master.”

Varèse Sarabande commemorates Alex North’s 100th birthday and the film Spartacus’ 50th Anniversary with the release of Robert Townson’s 1,000th album.

In this international celebration of one of film music’s most influential and important giants, Robert Townson is joined by: Nathan Barr, Alan and Marilyn Bergman, John Debney, Alexandre Desplat, Patrick Doyle, Randy Edelman, Dave Grusin, Mark Isham, John Mauceri, Joel McNeely, Diego Navarro, David Newman, Lisbeth Scott, Lalo Schifrin, Brian Tyler, John Williams, Christopher Young and many more!

The enormous boxed set includes:

CD 1 — All surviving stereo tracks of Alex North’s SPARTACUS recording, including all tracks
from the original soundtrack album, assembled in film order.


CD 2 and 3 — The complete original film soundtrack of SPARTACUS, in astounding monaural sound


CD 4 — A selection of unused and alternate cues from the original film sessions, along with
Alex North’s original preliminary cue recordings for the film (used for film editing purposes).


CD 5 and 6 — SPARTACUS LOVE THEME AND VARIATIONS — 22 classic and newly recorded interpretations of Alex North’s Spartacus Love Theme — featuring Bill Evans, Yusef Lateef, Carlos Santana, Lalo Schifrin, Dave Grusin, Mark Isham, Alexandre Desplat and many others!  Newly recorded in Los Angeles, New York, London, Paris and Tenerife!

DVD —  CONVERSATIONS ON ALEX NORTH’S SPARTACUS
A 96-minute documentary on the importance of Alex North and his score for SPARTACUS, with Alexandre Desplat, Mark Isham, David Newman, Lalo Schifrin, Robert Townson, Brian Tyler, John Williams and Christopher Young. Also included are two bonus features with Mark Isham and Diego Navarro recording their own Spartacus Love Theme variations


BOOK —  A 168-page, hardcover book by Robert Townson featuring detailed analysis of the SPARTACUS score, background on the film, an Alex North biography, over 100 photos and much more!
Produced with the cooperation of Universal Pictures, Universal Special Markets and Geffen Records ... and that's just for the score!  This has been years in the works!

This is, by far, the grandest release in Varèse Sarabande’s history.

Never have I been more proud of any project with which I have been involved and, frankly, I never dreamed that my promise to Alex, that one day I would restore and release his masterpiece, ever could have resulted in something so grand.
— Robert Townson

Join the celebration!
