Dragon's Domain Records presents music from the original score to KING KONG, composed by the legendary Max Steiner (GONE WITH THE WIND, CASABLANCA, THE TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE) for the legendary 1933 epic adventure KING KONG, directed by by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, written by James Ashmore Creelman, Ruth Rose and Cooper, starring Fay Wray, Robert Armstrong, Bruce Cabot, Frank Reicher and Sam Hardy. Director Carl Denham (Armstrong) leads a film crew to a remote, uncharted Pacific Island in search of the legendary Kong, a gigantic ape. After the island's inhabitants abandon actress Ann Darrow (Wray) to Kong, Denham and his crew pursue the beast through the dinosaur-infested jungle. They eventually capture Kong and take him to New York as a sideshow attraction, with disastrous results... Born on May 10th, 1888, Max Steiner was an Austrian composer and conductor who emigrated to America and became one of Hollywood's greatest musical composers. Steiner was a child prodigy who conducted his first operetta when he was twelve and became a full-time professional, proficient at composing, arranging, and conducting, by the time he was fifteen. Threatened with internment in England during World War I, he fled to Broadway; and in 1929 he moved to Hollywood, where he became one of the first composers to write music scores for films. He is often referred to as 'the father of film music', as Steiner played a major part in creating the tradition of writing music for films, along with composers Dimitri Tiomkin, Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Franz Waxman, Alfred Newman, Bernard Herrmann, and Miklós Rózsa.
