Minority Report, I think I care for this even less then COS.
No!In this round it's COS,man!

Can't we drop the Chamber?
-
In fact, I think Mozart is considered a top 10 genius, alongside Albert Einstein and Leonardo Da Vinci. Not sure if Williams will ever join their company.
In fact,Williams is seventh on that top 10 list,just after Leonardo Di Caprio.
-
Mozart was genius for sure. I just listened The Returnees from Close Encounters.
First word that came to my mind was...ingenius.
-
I'm sure there is Amadeus in everyone's DVD-library.This is the a good moment to watch it again...

Great! I'm going to move there immediately...

Is it really in dutch "Hoorn",the french horn I mean?
And there is also a city called Hoorn in Netherlands?
-
Someone said in this thread that Sibelius is a mediocre figure
among the great composers.I disagree.
For me he is a great composer,especially great symphonist,best in the 20.century.
...and about Finlandia:it is a great piece but I can't enjoy listening it anymore,because
played 300+ times(btw two times in Your beautiful Musikverein,Mr Schedenig).
Playing it is always fun...
-
Almost everyone's favorite instrument here seems to be the French Horn.Cool!
...and the solo in Always is quite a challenge(Thacher it is...also well played in
"collaboration"-cd)
-
I like the glorious trumpet sound in the orchestra(like Maurice Murphy in LSO)
(and the jazz sound,not so much)

Tromboneplayers never die...
...they just slide away...

Knowing my style?
I'm not making a judgement about Murphy's personality.
It's his work on certain scores that I put into question.
TPM makes me think Murphy is the best in the bussiness.
A.I. and Minority Report makes me think he's Williams worst enemy.
I am sorry Stefancos. Totally misunderstanding.
Limited skills in english language and too much red wine: Bad combination!
...and as Justin wrote in the other thread(too many people here who can't
type or can't english) I'm out of here...back to the lurking business...
Ps. about my Mr.Murphy comment:it wast ment to be more like joke.
Sometimes I find him too "nice" praising his friends...
-
Maybe you got the point. I might be "blinded" by the new sound quality
and the great playing of LSO.
well it has to be said that the soundquality on the TPM EU is nothing short of amazing.
Is this the same Shawn Murphy who recorded A.I.?
You have something against him.Nice guy according to the interwiews
But knowing your style A.I. must badly recorded.Great music thou
-
If the Sith is not eligible,they should give Williams a special oscar
for closing the most important film series(musically) in history!
-
The prequels sound like small fragments glued together with arrangements being more important than ideas.
Maybe you got the point. I might be "blinded" by the new sound quality
and the great playing of LSO.
..but I have to admit that I enjoy most part of the prequel sound
-
Thank you for the information,Mr Breathmask and Mr stefancos.
I had no idea about those things.
But you have to agree(not stefan) that the music itself is great...great comeback...
-
TPM is great. Possibly even better than RotJ IMO, and better than RotS too. We just haven't heard it in its full uncut glory yet.
I don't understand what is wrong in TPM Ultimate Edition.(wrong order of the music,some cuts or
does it miss something from the movie?)For me it is a great comeback to the glorious
world of Star Wars music...
-
Is that Tampere philharmonic recording good?
...and,please,don't answer no(because I'm playing in it)...
I think it is great. I especially like the brass section on the recording.
Thank You for the politeness
....and Mr.Breathmask: If you dont't know Sibelius music ,and you like movie music,you
should try his second symphony....

The opening notes of the violin concerto briefly appear in ESB. Also, Herrmann must have been a Sibelius fan... not only did he record some Sibelius works, the swamp music from Psycho is very reminiscent of a Sibelius work (I think it was Pelleas and Melisande?).
Finlandia will always remain among my favourite pieces of music, but there's so much more (and let's not forget he stopped composing after about two thirds of his life). Scenes historiques No. 1 is wonderful (both this and Finlandia originate in something called Press Celebrations Music), also Karelia (both the suite and the full thing), the symphonies, King Christian II (one of my favourites), the stunning Kullervo (based on the same Kalevala poem that inspired much of Tolkien's Turin story), Oceanides, Pohjola's Daughter,.. I'm also fond of Oma maa and Tulen synty.
This is absolutely essential for everyone remotely interested in Sibelius (and should be available much cheaper... I think mine was about 25 or 30 euros, a few years ago)- unless perhaps if you already have everything on it.
Any important works I left out? Anything I should discover? Any more choral stuff?
Marian - Sibelius fan.
Yes, City in the Clouds from ESB reminds the beginning of the concerto.
And 7 Years in Tibet,first track quite similar violin passage than in First symphony.
What I didn't see in your list is: tonepoem Satu(in English maybe Saga?),Valse triste and
Swan of Tuonela(this migth include in some serie,scenes historiques perhaps)
Great english horn solo!
How come you are Sibelius fan,while you come from Austria? It's not very strong
area of Sibelius fans(thoug he studied in Wien...)? I mean the whole middle- Europe.
Trough the history in England and in the Us (later also Japan) the reception of his music has been
better...

The Main Title is't just good,it's awesome,especially the "country" violin solo.
Too bad it even lose to WOW,which is cold and empty(movie+music)
