Jerry Goldsmith's THE CHAIRMAN (1969) - 2025 Intrada Kickstarter
fommes replied to Jay's topic in General Discussion
As with all of the Intrada kickstarters over the past few years, this one just doesn't have great appeal to people outside of the US (on a budget) anymore, I feel, due to the shipping and customs issues that Marian mentioned. I might consider if there would be free international shipping (to counterbalance the customs and additional postal charges), if the 'thank you' price wasn't that steep, or with any other interesting perks that are reasonable. I'll buy the CD if this project makes it, and I hope it does because it's a great score, and I'd really like to hear new recordings of those unreleased cues too. -

How did you do that? I don't see any account registration on their concert/calendar website. -

Presumably it's an "adaptation" because this was done on synth?

E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial - 40th Anniversary Edition from La-La Land Records
fommes replied to Jay's topic in JOHN WILLIAMS
From a very rough and quick "A/D" check, it seems you're right. (A bit disappointing since I sought out the digital version.) Only the track splits are at slightly different spots on the CD's. -

Are you saying the "digital" CD release is the same as the (more prominent) "analog" CD versions? -
Ditto

Seems like the blu-ray is out of print already; I didn't even know it was released.

Alexandre Desplat conducts the Wiener Symphoniker 1.3.2024
fommes replied to JTGL's topic in General Discussion
Wish I could have been there, it sounds like it was an amazing experience. -
Indeed. I also suspect there should be enough re-recordings (and concert albums) each year to spotlight them in their own category. Although personally I believe it maybe shouldn't have won due to the technical issues, it's a great album! By the way, that's twice a Herrmann album wins this category in the last three years: BEST NEW ARCHIVAL RELEASE 2021 – COMPILATION The Film Scores of Bernard Herrmann, music by Bernard Herrmann; album produced by Tony d’Amato, Gavin Barratt, Raymond Few, and Tim McDonald; liner notes by Tom Schneller; album art direction by Matt Read (Phase 4/Deutsche Grammophon) Gabriel Yared: Music For Film, music by Gabriel Yared; the Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra and Vlaams Radiokoor, conducted by Dirk Brossé; album produced by Thomas Van Parys and Marijke Vandeburie; liner notes by Thomas Van Parys; album art direction by Stuart Ford (Silva Screen/Film Fest Gent) Pedro Almodóvar & Alberto Iglesias Film Music Collection, music by Alberto Iglesias; album produced by José M. Benitez and Alberto Iglesias; liner notes by Pedro Almodóvar, Alberto Iglesias, and Manuel J. Lombardo; album art direction by Nacho B. Govantes and Luca Barcellona (Quartet) The Pink Panther Final Chapters Collection (Trail of the Pink Panther/Curse of the Pink Panther/Son of the Pink Panther), music by Henry Mancini; album produced by Chris Malone; liner notes by John Takis; album art direction by Nacho B. Govantes (Quartet) Spotlight On John Williams, music by John Williams; the City Light Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Kevin Griffiths; album produced by Pirmin Zängerle and Martin Korn; liner notes by Basil Böhni; album art direction by Roger Krütli (Prospero Classical)

Composer Threads The official Alexandre Desplat thread
fommes replied to David Coscina's topic in General Discussion
Largo Winch is absolutely top drawer Desplat. The themes are brilliant and memorable, woven throughout the scores in many variations, the Eastern Europe flavour also works well, and along with The Golden Compass it has some of the best action cues of his career ("Roof Fight"!).
