    It's really fascinating and I bet a book could be written about this topic.  First, we got a great score.  What could Horner have created that we didn't imagine if he had six more weeks or Abbey Road had better facilities?  What he's saying isn't wrong, Abbey Road knew it and did fix it, they talk about that in a spitfire walkthrough of the studio how during the late 1980's they made major upgrades.  Would it have mattered?  I believe this pressure resulted in the change in his style from his earlier scores and his mid/later scores.  Everything he says is spot on except what's complicated is and yet he managed to deliver.  Maybe he always feels this way.  You gave me six months but if I had eight more months what could I have delivered?  By the time of Troy (2004), he farmed out a lot of the work because he had to deliver a 2+ hour epic score in three weeks.  What could he have done with that if he had 8 more weeks?  If he had those 8 more weeks, what if he had 12 more weeks?  To what composer does this not apply?  It's probably diminishing returns.

    anyone here from Iceland (or Denmark, Sweden, Norway...)? Years ago I went to a beautiful choir concert in Reykjavík. I've tried to identify the songs but wasn't successful at all. If anyone here can help or identify some lyrics that would be so awesome.

    not sure if I've posted this before. In 2019 I went shopping in a supermarket in Hamburg and there was this kiddy ride machine in the entrance area....

    that would be so great and more than justified. Not necessarily because of the performance of the LSO but just in technical terms… Horner wasn't satisfied with the facilities at Abbey Road Studio:

    "The facilities were 30 years old. They were barely able to patch in synthesizers much less be able to do some of the things I wanted to do electronically. I mean, they were so behind the times. The mixer, who is brilliant in Star Wars, was out of his league with this kind of a movie which needed all kind of modern recording techniques."

    Man, this is just awesome news. More Early Horner and rerecordings yet to come?  There’s no denying Horner is getting incredible spotlight lately, and it feels great to be a fan.

    it's fascinating to think that Stravinsky was only 58 years old when Fantasia was released.

    Somewhere in this thread Jay quoted Mike Matessino saying, that information is lost. Nobody knows, who sang these songs.

    Yeah, I suppose I never thought about it before, but it does seem to reference it, doesn't it?
     
    Nice catch!
