R.I.P. RIP Sir Richard Rodney Bennett

[Krang 1]

I didn't see a topic for this but I just found out he passed away two nights ago.

Murder On The Orient Express is one of my favorite scores ever composed.

I'm with you there! "MOTOE" is a fantastic score, and well deserving of its Oscar nomination. "Equus", "Far From The Madding Crowd", "Four Weddings And A Funeral", his work on the Doctor Who story "The Aztecs", and "Gormenghast" aren't too shabby, either. Also, check out his work with the jazz singer, Claire Martin.

Holy! That's a big name in the British modern composers world! I think I have two 'classical' CDs of him. R.I.P.

I mainly know him from his Murder On The Orient Express, which is a great score.

RIP

Far From the Madding Crowd is one of my favourite pieces of film music. I shall listen to it today.
