Jay 37,363 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 we are immensely proud to be able to release this gorgeous album by acclaimed composer John Corigliano. He has written only four film scores, and this one was rejected by the film's producer after the film was heavily reshot and reedited. We can't tell you which movie it was from, but I am sure you will be able to figure it out. You probably have Howard Shore's replacement score already...Produced in close collaboration with the composer, music producer Teese Gohl, Robin Esterhammer and GK Films, to whom a big thank you goes out for making this release a reality.Track Listing:1 His Daughter's Death 4:112 Reflections 5:153 Her Home 3:234 Pursuit 3:465 Her Friends Death 2:336 Hideout 1:557 Family Shave 2:318 A Sober Story 3:019 The Escape 2:0310 Revenge 3:0011 Reunification 6:34 Availability: Usually ships in 2-3 business days Music From the Edge PRD055$19.95Link: http://store.fortytwotradingco.com/musicfromedge.htmlHeard great things about this score and composer, looking forward to checking it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muad'Dib 1,802 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 I love Corigliano's score for Altered States! The samples sound very promising, I'll probably purchase this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Great news! I am very interested in hearing what did Corigliano come up with for this film since his film scores, while challenging at times, are extremely good and interesting writing.

Miguel Andrade 1,263 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Corigliano is one of the finest composers around, period. I need to get this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incanus 5,714 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 Well, the samples sound excellent. I'll give this one a try.KarolIndeed. Rather haunting and beautiful passages in those samples. Kind of reminded me of Bernstein's On the Waterfront stylistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 389 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 The most talented composer named John working today! (No disrespect to John Adams.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,012 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well, the score is both dark, but has a great theme (to be frank Corigliano always delivers strong melodies) developed throughout, which is given a kathartic resolution in the last track (posted by Inc on the other thread). I can't imagine it working in the film they've made (I haven't seen it). But the CD works almost as a concert piece. Imagine a cross between Goldenthal and some rather Copland-like Americana.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,714 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Yes that is a very good summing up of the style and mood of the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
