  1. Yes, I bought the CD back when it was released.

    The score was also not conducted by Newman himself in Munich (he was probably busy with other films) but by Fox's session pianist and conductor Urban Thielmann.

    But it's still possible that Williams co-orchestrated some cues for Newman and was present at the LA source music sessions. As I said above there are no orchestrator credits on the Lalaland release.

  2. I do not think that Williams was performing on Certain Smile as a session musician as the score was recorded in Munich, Germany in July 1958 during AFM strike. Although there are two cues ("A Certain Smile" [vocal version] and "The Dance Orchestra") which were recorded in LA. Unfortunately the liner notes doesn't offer a musicians list.

    Regarding the orchestrations the Lalaland release does not mention Williams as orchestrator. Neither is Edward B. Powell credited, Newman's main orchestrator during his tenure at Fox.

  3. Yes it is more of a curiosity of why wouldn't JW hire his usual suspects. Could be any number of reasons, mostly that there could be conflicting schedules and I do not know if John Neufeld still works as his credits at IMDB end with Terminal in 2004.

    I also guess this has something to do with scheduling conflicts. I mean, Pope probably wasn't available ALL the time over the last two(???) years JW was writing/changing the music. After all Pope was also busy orchestrating for Desplat and writing his own scores... and Karam was working on War Horse and as you said Neufeld most likely has retired.

  4. Hey guys, found something over at imdb.

    When you look for Cast and Crew of Tintin and scroll down you already find a short Music Department list:

    Odd thing is that it states a guy named Alejandro de la Llosa as orchestrator alongside Conrad Pope.

    If you look further at his credits it seems that he is orchestrating a lot for Remote Control composers like Zimmer!

    I do not hope that Spielberg wants the Zimmer-sound for Johnnys score ;)
