The movie's a minor guilty pleasure of mine (one of the only fun ones from Disney's dark age at least), so I wasn't expecting anything great from the score on its own. What's guilty about it? It's fully deserving of Disney classic status. Also Peter Ustinov. And the score, of course. On 08/04/2018 at 12:11 PM, Jurassic Shark said: It doubt it's better than the Flynn version. I think it has some deliberate parallels to the Flynn version specifically. Robin's stork disguise is rather similar to Flynn's tournament disguise in the 1938 version.

I have the CD (had to buy a used one, I think; I first knew it as a scratchy library copy), but not autographed. I adore the Drake 400 suite, but the rest of the album is fun, too. Love Goodwin's Auld Lang Syne arrangement. Another good Goodwin sampler is the Gamba/BBC compilation. 17 hours ago, publicist said: Sadly never released on Blu-ray, as far as I know. It's a strong film, as far as I recall, and the Kilar score is classy as usual. Including a seriously ballsy statement of the Schubert theme.

publicist 4,643 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 It is a very good dark psychological play. I don't know if anyone but Morricone ever devised more ballsy hard-on music like the electrical guitar tune round the 30-second mark. The FSM cd is highly recommended - apart from rinky-tink piano there is also a lot of thematic writing, flowing pathos and a mean edgy Stravinskyian cue.

Naïve Old Fart 9,508 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Thanks for the link, JS! MERCURY is just a smidgen too fast, but JUPITER is bang-on, and it's the slowest SATURN I've heard in many a year. Its good though, because it's often hard to get SATURN right.

Jurassic Shark 12,033 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I think the conductor really nailed the emotional aspect in the middle part of Jupiter. Speaking about tempo; I think the imperial march is a tad too fast, while the asteroid field is too slow. Have you heard Holst's two commercial recordings made in the 20s? They're definitely fast!

Naïve Old Fart 9,508 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Agreed. Its a better, more melodic listen, but, as a score, it's not as effective (or affective) as the original. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
