__ Lukas Kendall talks about Film Score Monthly's latest release - the megaset of Elmer Bernstein's legendary Film Music Collection! Spanning 13 albums released during the seventies, the series was funded by the composer himself, and recorded with first-rate musicians and recording engineers. Long a Holy Grail among collectors, Bernstein's re-recorded suites were the only source to enjoy rare, previously unreleased music by Bernard Herrmann, Alfred Newman, Alex North, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Tiomkin, and Franz Waxman, and after a nearly 30-year absence, they're back in a limited set.

Showcasing the music of Bernard Herrmann, Ferde Grofé, and the still-forgotten Albert Glasser, Part 1 of our lengthy conversation chronicles the launch of Stalog Records, it's unique projects, and O'Quinn's eventual decision to change careers after a long and fruitful involvement with Starlog 's diverse enterprises.
