Incanus 5,713 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Philadelphia is a relatively small scale intimate score with a few notable cues but this score mostly supports the drama very gently. I was very much in the mood for it on this misty evening.The Betrayal is a superb small scale work for a chamber sized orchestra, small choir, soloists and solo cello. Really beautiful pensive and lyrical writing from Shore on this one. Highly recommended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 It is no surprise it sounds Shore through and through and has some shades of his other works but on the whole the actual score album is a great listening experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,982 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 The Ghost and The Darkness by Jerry Goldsmith. Most impressive. You can almost forgive half-arsed (in my opinion) First Contact if it took additional effort to complete this beauty.

Gnome in Plaid 219 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 MouseHunt (Silvestri) - Hehehehehehe bassoooooooons. The main theme is great, it's orchestrated expertly, and manages to be quite enjoyable despite the mickey-mousing, rather like Home Alone. All the material presented is excellent; I just wish the individual tracks were longer: the album jumps around too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a great score but i found it baffling how much bad reaction this one got. Maybe because of the movie. It has a nice sense of dread and inevitable fateful forward motion but sadly it never comes to anything in the end. Nice Eidelman: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,713 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 The Private Life of Sherlock Holmes (Tadlow re-recording) by Miklós Rózsa: Both tremendously lyrical and playful this score is a fun frolicking symphonic work. The composer adapts his own violin concerto for parts of the score, e.g. deriving the sumptuous love theme from it, but Rózsa also provides us with an original jaunty main theme that bounces along with delightful aplomp. The film is constructed of several separate episodes, each detailing a new case, and this affords the composer a chance to treat each with its own set of moods and motifs although everything is bound together by the main theme and the love themes seems never to be far away. Never anything but brazenly dramatic the score receives a deft and classy re-recording from Tadlow and features masterful and nuanced violin solos from Lucie Svehlova and the writing translates into a truly enjoyable album. The producer Fitzpatrick provides not only the complete score for the film, over an hour's worth of great music, but also includes several alternates for one particular sequence, Castles of Scotland (a travelling montage), which the director Wilder had trouble deciding the musical approach for. It both illustrates the trials and tribulations of film productions and film composers but also affords a chance to hear more of Rózsa's wonderful music. Highly recommended.Conan the Barbarian (Tadlow re-recording) by Basil Poledouris: This is actually the presentation that made me truly a fan of this score. A true treat from start to finish and while the Intrada release of the complete original recording might be more comprehensive, this is a fine interpretation of this wonderful work with the added virtue of modern recording techniques and a more resounding performance which breathes new life into the already impressive music and brings out new details (sometimes actual orchestrational differences compared to the original Rome recordings). This is the composer's magnum opus and every film music fan should have a version of this score in their shelves. publicist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
