Composer Threads The Official Abel Korzeniowski thread
filmmusic replied to Neimoidian's topic in General Discussion
Does anyone know what is the new score that the composer said in his facebook page he would be recording today? -
I hope this doesn't have a RCM style of music but a score analogous of Frankenstein and such..

Do you think John Williams' symphony will ever be released?
filmmusic replied to Thor's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
ok, I'll try but i doubt it.. -
Do you think John Williams' symphony will ever be released?
filmmusic replied to Thor's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
I emailed the Houston Symphony orchestra that had premiered the symphony, in case they had a recording in their archives. I got their reply today, that even if they had it, their archives were flooded in 2001 by a tropical storm and thus destroyed. -
New book about John Williams! (in Spanish)
filmmusic replied to Andrés Valvader's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
Yes, congratulations! Will it be sold only from this site, or from amazon too? Also, how many pages is it? And it would be great also if you could put a couple of preview pages.. -
Those are alreay taken out in the Bluray! ;-) it's the theatrical edition. @joey yes, still i wasn't sure, and i had to compare it side by side with the 2002 edition i found in youtube. yeah, i see it now.

Right before the "I'll be right here" moment?
-
hmmm... No! i haven't noticed. I'm so emotional in the end crying.. what do you mean "backwards"?
-
Sorry?
-
Yes, i understand but many much earlier works of his have been released: Bachelor Flat Diamond Head None but the Brave John Goldfarb pelase Come Home Not with my Wife you Don't Penelope etc. That means that he considers those scores better than his Sugarland Express? Or maybe he doesn't even know that they're released?
-
E.T. it's one of the most gorgeous Blurays!!! I have a digibook which is very beautiful too.
-
Less than 80 copies for anyone that hasn't got it yet and wants it! http://www.filmscoremonthly.com/board/posts.cfm?threadID=97040&forumID=1&archive=0

Yes, i also assume it's insecurity but I don't understand what is it that he fears of? That people will listen to this music and change their whole opinion about the rest of his rich work? He is John Williams! I would understand this kind of attitude by someone who is just starting in the business, and so he would like to show his best work out there and hide ahything that he feels it's not very good. But when you have secured your place in history, I don't understand it.
-
thanks. The thing that is strange is, why did they ask him about Sugarland Express in particular and they didn't ask him abou John Goldfarb, Penelope, Bachelor Flat, Nightwatch etc. etc.? Or they did ask him and he didn't have any problem with them being released but only with Sugarland?
-
I would assume he doesn't believe his music is too good for an album release. Although there have been so many releases from his earlier scores, that I wouldn't regards them as better. and yes, as stefancos says, i remember too, one of the labels said it. By the way, if the master tapes don't exist, what is the source of the bootleg then?
-
Well, I like Maurice (both film and score), even better than the 2 of them , and I hope someone releases it soon in BLuray. then i assume you'll like this too. http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=11011

One of my favourite films from my teens comes in Bluray in UK (by the way, exceptional music score by Richard Robbins): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1_5yToFwxY http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=11459#comments I don't know if I have to wait in case Criterion releases one. (although I understand there was some legal conflict with Ivory). I would love to couple it with Criterion's Howards End.

I guess those are reviews of 10-18 years old kids?
-
And this is what i meant by my previous post. You must be into this stuff, to like it outside of the film.. (well, that's what i think) 20 years ago, I wouldn't be able to sit through it as a standalone listening experience. But not that I feel more mature, i find it great and extremely interesting. (and I believe I would even more if I started studying it bar by bar to see its construction exactly)
-
yeah, prometheus, we have discussed this before. I meant it doesn't have the memorable themes that the average moviegoer perceives (aka tonal themes) (eg a 12-tone theme may be memorable to you who are analysing this stuff, but it's not to most people) All here aren't composers or musicologists, so I'm trying as much as I can not to speak as one in such threads.

in 20 years this sentence, written by someone else, will be like this:

I am not sure if anyone is interested here (i had started a thread at FSM) but as it turns out, Rachel Portman will be scoring the upcoming biopic about princess Diana, called "DIANA". Looking forward to it, escpecially if it's along the lines of "Never let me Go".
-
TMNT was the first movie I saw alone with friends at 4th grade. I fear what this might turn out!! (well, we already know how the score is gonna be)
-
oh ok. Now I understand. Then, I didn't mean that! I meant that it serves the picture. Not that it's just competent or adequate.
-
well, english is not my native language, so I may not understand quite what do you mean by "serviceable". They do serve the film alright, don't they? (this is what I mean by "serviceable") And they can stand on their own too.
