Redes (film score)
Redes is a film score by Silvestre Revueltas for the eponymous film directed by Fred Zinnemann and Emilio Gómez Muriel. "Redes" means "nets" in Spanish. It was the composer's first film score, begun in 1934, when he visited the film crew on location in Alvarado, Veracruz. The film concerns the efforts of exploited fishermen to unite. Concert versions. Revueltas arranged a concert version which he premiered in 1936, the same year as the film was released. However, in concert performance the music is usually heard in an arrangement by Erich Kleiber, made in the 1940s after  the composer's death. Kleiber's version is in two parts and lasts about 16 minutes. Critical reception. In a contemporary newspaper review, Aaron Copland commented that the music of Revueltas is "above all vibrant and colorful". He regarded this score to possess "many of the qualities characteristic of Revueltas's art". Recordings. The complete score has been recorded by the PostClassical Ensemble conducted by Angel Gil-Ordoñez for a version of the film released on DVD by Naxos in 2016.
