Got the following from Amazon:

Sound the Bells - John Williams and others
Silence! The Musical (Cast Recording) - Jon and Al Kaplan
Stravsinky: The Rite of Spring and the Firebird Suite - Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic
Wonderful Town - Leonard Bernstein
Poltergiest (OST) - Jerry Goldsmith

I was tempted to get the FSM version of Poltergeist, but as a casual Goldsmith fan I'm not sure the new music would be worth the extra $14.

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate. - Christopher Nolan

I would think so.

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Just bought the following:

America, The Dream Goes On - John Williams and the Boston Pops
Dvorak: The New World Symphony - Paavo Jarvi and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

The first has a couple pieces I've been meaning to get--Hoe Down, Fanfare for the Common Man, and of course JW's America the Dream Goes On. The rest should be a fun and enjoyable listen.

You got the Naxos version of Ben-Hur that was just released? I believe that one is expanded from the old Silva release, right? I may have to get a copy of this new one.

I think it's identical. They just split up some of the lengthier tracks. Total duration is the same I think, and it's the same recording as the previous release (which is different, and with a considerably larger orchestra, than the full score recording released on the DVD/Blu-ray I believe). Don't know if there's been any remastering.

It's also not on Naxos but on "Threefold Records", with a "Carl Davis Collection" icon on the top. I've also seen a Naxos credit for it somewhere (Amazon I think), but I assume it was just mislabelled. Or perhaps they're owned by Naxos or something. Price certainly was regular for a score release, i.e. higher than the standard Naxos price.

Prince of Egypt is great. If you can you should definitely get this CD: http://www.amazon.co...38678163&sr=8-7

Most of it is throw-away pop music, but it contains some cues from the score that aren't available anywhere else. Of particular importance is "The Chariot Race," which is one of Hans Zimmer's greatest single cues. I would imagine that even those who dislike Zimmer's style would enjoy this one, it has many Golden Age influences (especially near the end).

While I love Prince of Egypt and I think it's one of Zimmer's finest achievements, you have to give credit where it's due: The Chariot Race is a Harry Gregson-Williams' cue, using Zimmer's themes.

Oh okay. I don't take the time to figure out who wrote each Zimmer cue, but I will say that HGW just won a lot of points in my book (and Zimmer just lost a few).

Isn't it nice when you can't never be entirely sure if a Zimmer score is truly a Zimmer score. You have to read the fine print to see who was responsible for what.

Just ordered Music from the Edge, which is in fact John Corigliano's rejected score from Martin Campbell's Edge of Darkness.

I'm really really curious what this score is like. From the few samples I heard it sounds very good indeed. Can't wait!

Ordered the following:

Treesong - John Williams
Rosewood - John Williams
Presumed Innocent - John Williams
The King and I (1977 Revival) - Rodgers and Hammerstein
Swingin' for the Fences - Gordin Goodwin's Big Phat Band

The top three are releases I've been meaning to get for a long time, especially Presumed Innocent. But I'd imagine they make for a pretty dense and possibly depressing listening experience, so I wanted to lightened it up with the last two releases. I don't know much about King and I - I've heard some songs but I've never seen any incarnation of the work - but I love Rodgers and Hammerstein (who doesn't) and I've been told this is one of their best. 1977 revival sounded the best from the Amazon reviews - I almost bought the film soundtrack, but a reviewer said it contains dialogue and SFX. My friend recently bought the last release, and it sounds awesome. Especially "Mueva los Huesos."

I placed an order for Richard Band's Dragonworld from Intrada last night (the samples were really good!). I thought about adding Supernova to the order, but I think it's going to linger around the specialty outlets for a couple of months after it goes OOP.
