Will 2,215 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 4 hours ago, Steve McQueen said: I was so busy, I did not get a chance to hear the Elfman concerto before the video was erased. Oh well, more waiting then. @Will, I did listen to the ballet. Some very good stuff in there. Nice lyrical writing, and interesting use of instruments, notably saxaphone. Not all that enthused with some of the electronic stuff. Just does not mesh too well with the rest, for me. Hmm, interesting. I have to say I didn't even really consciously notice the electronics! So I clearly thought they meshed well. But I can't remember if it took multiple listens to truly enjoy. The reason I'm so enthused with this score, I think, is the lyrical, almost fairy-tale joy it evokes. SteveMc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,504 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I managed to download the video in mp3 format before it was erased. Lucky me, I guess. But I'll obviously delete that once the real deal gets released. I still haven't sat down to listen to the whole thing; I only listened to the "HULK quote" at about the 10-minute mark.

Thor 7,504 Posted March 29, 2019 Share Posted March 29, 2019 In the film, I was very disappointed. But on album, it fares quite a bit better. Nowhere near his pre-2005 stuff, but among the better ones in his big Hollywood titles in the last decade and a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say this is -- at best -- his people creating an account to promote the violin concerto album. Unlike his brother Richard, Danny is very reluctant to have any kind of social presence online.

Not about Instagram, necessarily, but he's started to post legit stuff on his Facebook account lately. After all these years of the account just being dormant. I guess he's sat down with his 'people' to finally get with the times. It also fits in with his desire to try new things at this point in his career -- write a bunch of concert works and be more active on social media!
