Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 I'm not familiar with three of these scores, but SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS is a lovely score, from a really good film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 34 minutes ago, Richard said: I'm not familiar with three of these scores, but SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS is a lovely score, from a really good film. I took a chance on Christopher Gordon's On the Beach since it was very well received back in the day and I really like the composer, whose Moby Dick is an excellent piece of work. The Departed is a bit different Howard Shore, mixing playfulness with suspense and drama with guitars in the lead role in the catchy main theme, a tango, composed for the cat-and-mouse dance of cops and Irish mafia in Boston. I was really positively surprised with it from the first time I heard it. You should check it out. And Richard Hartley's The Lion in Winter score for the excellent 2003 television remake with Glenn Close and Patrick Stewart might not be as foreground as Barry's music but still has a lovely little main theme flitting in and out of the faux-Medieval dramatic underscore and source music. As a fan of this adaptation I thought it was high time to get this. Snow Falling on Cedars is among my favourite JNH scores with a beautiful bridging of ambiance and drama into a compelling whole with such contemplative Japanese undertones.

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted May 1, 2017 Share Posted May 1, 2017 Thanks for that. Ernest Gold's original OTB is worth checking out. As for Barry's TLlW... Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry is a classic and one of his absolute best. Hartley's score clearly takes cue from it for certain sequences like Eleanor's arrival and leaving for Rome sequence but in modern sensibilities remains much more polite through much of its running time.

How did you like it then? I'd count Moby Dick among my favourite scores of non-big name composers, but I've never much warmed up to On the Beach I'm afraid.

Naturally I got refunded and I understand that there are so many products they can't keep track of every piece of merchandise but still it always irks me to see these dubious releases floating around. And if this is legitimate some kind of "print-on-demand" or some label going lazy and producing these half-assed pressings they should have let the customers know.

Incanus 5,713 Posted June 23, 2017 Share Posted June 23, 2017 For Europeans the Intrada shipping fee is rather exorbitant so I rarely order more than a single CD from them since 2 or more cost 23 $ to ship. But the discount and my bonus from their customer programme lowered the overall price suitably. Just now, Stefancos said: One of the ugliest covers I've ever seen! Yup.

I'm not anti-MG, per se, but I find Desplat's music more interesting to listen to. That won't stop me buying as many MG scores as I possibly can, though.
