Wikipedia / Intrada Records

Intrada is an American record company based in Oakland, California, founded by Douglass Fake (1952-2024). The company specializes in movie and television soundtracks, with an extensive catalog including many works by Jerry Goldsmith.

Intrada was founded in 1985 by producer/owner Fake in San Francisco, California. It relocated to Oakland, California at the turn of the millennium and expanded operations, increasing the volume of albums released and adding Roger Feigelson as Director of Business Operations. In addition to standard soundtrack releases, Intrada features The Excalibur Collection, a series of world premiere re-recordings of film scores, reconstructed and performed by professional orchestras as well as a series of limited-edition historic soundtracks, produced in cooperation with film studios and the American Federation of Musicians.

Fake was a producer and composer, and died after an extended illness in July 2024. His producing credits include the first complete restoration of Leonard Bernstein’s On the Waterfront, a 6-CD release of Elmer Bernstein conducting his music from The Ten Commandments and the premiere of several Henry Mancini underscores including Breakfast at Tiffany’s, which was previously only available in abridged pop recordings. He also supervised the re-recording of a dozen albums of classic film music, most recently Bernard Herrmann’s music for Alfred Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much, as well as Miklos Rozsa’s Ivanhoe, Julius Caesar, and Spellbound.

Intrada continues to operate as a label and retail store (managed by long-time associate Jeff Johnson) selling their own releases in addition to those of other labels.
