Will 2,215 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 Alexandre Desplat - Operation Finale It's generally very dark and subdued (and, partly for that reason, often somewhat boring). But there are some great moments - "Setting Up Operations," for example, is an exciting cue. And the growling low pianos are a welcome throwback to the classic spy sound of old (I'd be interested to hear Desplat's take on a more extroverted spy film like MI or Bond). If you like Desplat, you should definitely give this a listen. It's a solid entry in his oeuvre, although I'm not sure if I'll return to it much.

Well apparently Williams gave her free hand with the lyrics which Johnny and Steven didn't want to be in any real language from the Middle East but rather evoke the region.

Incanus 5,713 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 She still wrote it all out even though the end result is indeed in great part wordless vocalization. Remembering Munich is a piece better enjoyed divorced from the picture. But the whole score is pretty excellent mix of highly melodic emotional material and on the other hand Williams' entirely valid take on the modern suspense and thriller sound. I also have an odd fondness for the angsty Bearing the Burden track, the very picture of psychological anguish in music. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Out of curiosity, I just looked at the current Top 100 popular soundtrack albums on the Google Play streaming service. As would be expected it's 99% song based albums, either musicals or songtracks. The highest ranked album that is mostly score is Elfman's Alice Through the Looking Glass at #41. It does have a pop song by Pink as the last track. The highest ranked album that is all original score is Zimmer's Interstellar at #69 (giggity) After that there are only 3 more score only or mostly score albums in the top 100: Avengers: Infinity War (#81), Blade Runner 2049 (#95), and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring OST (#100). Interesting to see LOTR managing to barely hold in at #100 and see ZERO Williams, not even Star Wars. Here's the Top 10. I should note, for some reason the Google Play version of the Crazy Rich Asians OST contains no Tyler cues. No idea why. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't understand why film scores are always grouped with musicals. They could just as well lump them in with opera and ballet. Makes browsing online sales tedious, too. The film music section is usually 95% musicals and song compilations, and the classical section is 95% "albums" by star soloists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 A delightful baroque outing, decently upscaled the Handel/Purcell sources with big, romantic string orchestra.

I'm not sure what hi-fi you have, but have you thought of purchasing audio equipment with a wider dynamic range, or simply turning down the treble, if you have a treble control?
