    I can't praise ROTJ enough, it's one of my all time favorites, but I would never praise at the expense of TPM, which I also consider to be a masterpiece

    I don't understand where all this discussion about Johnson not being interested in Williams is coming from.
     
    He described the scoring process with Williams as "the highlight of highlights" of making a Star Wars film. He respected the music when finishing the film and cited unheard music as one of the best features of some of the deleted scenes and he presented us with an isolated score - a first for Star Wars!
     
    I think it's a case of actions speaking louder than words. RJ seems fairly quiet and reserved generally but look at how the music was treated. Abrams gushes to an almost embarrassing degree about Williams but then takes a hacksaw to the music. Not difficult to see who has the most genuine respect for the composer.

    Romão got a reaction from blondheim in What Is The Last Score You Listened To? (older scores)   
    It's also one of my favorites. I too vastly favor the OST arrangement. The score is so badly treated in the movie anyway that it's probably best just to ignore what it was written for

    The Last Emperor
     
    The first hour is its best, where Bertolucci has a field day with the ancient looming walls of the Forbidden City and the lavish parades/customs that it was once home to. I mean it's gobsmacking gorgeous, maybe even gratuitously so. But it's also where the irony and contradictions of the emperor's predicament is made most interesting. After that, it sort of becomes an empty biopic that reduces complex political history to barely characterized archetypes without saying much about any of it. Once you pass the intrigue of its first act, much of which is cultivated by the fortress setting, the whole thing is a pretty hollow affair.
     
    Sakamoto's main theme is stunning though. It's a shame it's not featured more in the film.

    The OST was indeed great, but the expansion did open up the Riddler theme for me, how it is carefully developed throughout the score. Plus, it has several new statements of this theme:
     
     
     
    This is, in my view, one of the most gorgeous and sensuous love themes ever written. Why use it on such a wafer thin character?

    The little low brass counter melody that ends up blatting that low C...ohhhhhh my god, it's so satisfying. This is what happens when you get a true blue composer to do a big cartoon type score!
     
    Also love the little clarinet figure at :35, reminds me of the textures Walker would use for her Two Face theme, it's such a great and succinct depiction of the character. And the trademark Goldenthal brass growl around :58 is delicious, too.
     
     
     
     
    On the subject of tiny satisying moments, the bari sax/trombone fall around 2:11 here gives me goosebumps almost every time.
