CAPTAIN FROM CASTILE SOUNDTRACK THE CLASSIC FILM SCORES OF ALFRED

This album features a richly orchestrated symphonic suite drawn from Alfred Newman’s stirring score to the 1947 historical epic Captain From Castile. Known for its vibrant themes—especially the famous **“Conquest” March—**the music blends romantic melodies (like the themes for Pedro and Catana or Lady Luisa) with darker, martial imagery tied to the Inquisition and conflict. The LP forms part of RCA’s Classic Film Scores series, conducted by Charles Gerhardt and performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra, offering an evocative and polished concert experience of Newman’s cinematic writing  .
