Although studio Ghibli has done much better movies, I was glad that the Boy and the Heron won the Oscar.

Classic!
I don't even love the movie but I bought it nonetheless to support magnificent restorations, like the Arrow is one (unlike the latest Cameron 4Ks which seem to be awful!)

103 euros!! Another one from ebay, a release coming from a box.
4k of course.

IIRC his book correctly, Rozsa said you have to listen to a work at least twice, so you can get the shape of it, before you can judge it fully.
Ah, I see!

Miklos Rozsa would say you need to listen to it again.
You compare this to Rozsa?

I'm afraid it didn't do anything to me.
Maybe, besides some old scores that I love, I'm not that into big fantasy-adventure scores anymore...

This is a great one. Big, bold and religoso, with choir and operatic solo voices, among other things. True, some of those "contemporary ostinati" here and there aren't that interesting, but for the most part a very impressive work by Mr. Donaggio in the latter part of his career. (Sorry I didn't mention to it to you before, filmmusic, but I only just discovered it myself as I'm trying to build my Donaggio collection a little bit).
I just finished listening to it!
I agree with your assessment. I'm not familiar at all with Donaggio, but this was impressive indeed.

Is anyone having issues logging in facebook?

I just noticed this (I think). The extended version is not restored, right? And it looks okay?
I don't know. I haven't watched it. I watched only the theatrical version.

Are these Dragon scores that good?
I tried to listen to the first one, but I found it too bombastic for my ears, as I find most of Powell's music.
I found it curious that all three of them were also released as sheet music books from Omni Music.

I just discovered this release from Neumation's facebook.
I don't know if anyone grew up with this series but this was one of my most wanted TV animation soundtracks.
Alas, the 17 minutes of this release don't include all the music cues that I remembered from the show (I just browsed the first episode to confirm that there was other music indeed too).
Neumation says this must be a teaser. I hope so!

as it was reconstructed by ear from the film (they didn’t access written scores for it)
Hmmmm. I wonder then what this new Neumation book will be. Will it be the ear reconstruction or the original manuscripts engraved?

You should be. It’s one of Barry’s best and my personal favorite!

I listened to the complete re-recording.
I'm afraid it didn't do much for me.

I have a quick question to non-US residents that buy from ebay:
Besides the price of the product and the shipping, ebay adds a VAT to my purchase, increasing the total sum of money I'm paying.
Does that mean that I won't pay customs?
What is that VAT?
-
You know, I never got around to listening the complete recordings.
I only listened to the osts once, if not at all...

I'm not familiar with this score.
I would love Barry's DANCES WITH WOLVES though..

It's use throughout the entire Jungle Chase sequence is excellent
I don't even remember its use inside the film.
I mostly listen to the concert version.

OMG, I can never buy (although I have a couple of early blu-rays) blu-rays for American films with covers in another language than English. Even though I'm Greek. I don't know why...

And another expensive purchase (87 euros!), an individual 4k coming from a box (have I said how much I hate these boxes already?)

Well, if you ask me about the score of the year, it's this one:
It plays like old school film music, actually more like classical music with large atonal parts and more extended harmony parts resembling Mahler (maybe?) or other composers (who???)..
Please give it a listen (I mean all of you jwfanners) , and tell me your thoughts in the appropriate thread. I would be really curious to know...
I was very surprised when I listened to it, about how good it is! There is no contest with any other film score of the year.
I don't know how it plays to picture though...

I'm just listening to The Creator, because someone at facebook said it's a masterpiece!
Hmmmm.. Well, I miss the 90s Zimmer who produced masterpieces..

Quite good score.
Tonal, dramatic, romantic, with gorgeous melodies...
