Entr'acte Recording Society, the name of which is derived from the music term entr'acte — translated as 'between acts' in the French, is an independent record label founded in Chicago in 1974 by John Steven Lasher, who would produce many recordings for the label, which was later incorporated into Fifth Continent Music Corporation's roster of labels from 1979 onwards.
The label's first release, the original soundtrack recording from the Brian De Palma film Sisters with music by Bernard Herrmann, was initially available by mail-order, but later on independently distributed in North America and abroad. Other recordings of film music by Bernard Herrmann, including Battle of Neretva and The Kentuckian followed.
Entr'acte's releases also included a re-recordings of the 1933 original score from King Kong by Max Steiner, The Best Years of Our Lives by Hugo Friedhofer and Time After Time by Miklós Rózsa, among others. The label has also produced several recordings of chamber music, including works by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Miklós Rózsa and Halsey Stevens.
Famous quotes containing the words recording and/or society:
“He shall not die, by G—, cried my uncle Toby.
MThe ACCUSING SPIRIT which flew up to heaven’s chancery with the oath, blush’d as he gave it in;—and the RECORDING ANGEL as he wrote it down, dropp’d a tear upon the word, and blotted it out for ever.”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
“In the society of men the truth resides now less in what things are than in what they are not. Our social realities are so ugly if seen in the light of exiled truth, and beauty is no longer possible if it is not a lie.”
—R.D. (Ronald David)
