Morlock 11 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 In the recent FSM issue, Shore said that they are work-shopping it. IIRC, he said the premier was going to be in June of 08`. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joni Wiljami 1,206 Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Who cares for Shore.btw this is a great comment by Marcus :But Williams' work is, viewed from the vantage point of musical craft, equal in quality to that of many of the greatest 20th century composers, and superior to many more, and this is why he is in fact held in increasingly high esteem also in the "classical" world (hey, ask Kurt Masur, Yo-Yo Ma, John Corigliano, Seiji Ozawa, Leonard Slatkin, Itzhak Perlman, Placido Domingo, Barbara Bonney, or countless of the other prominent members of that community that he has worked with).

I'm referring to the opera Williams was approached to do, but has so far declined, and not "Yes, Georgio!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Who cares for Shore.btw this is a great comment by Marcus :I see, this has finally turned into another thread of "who cares for anyone but Williams" and pointless worshipping of JW with opinions and argumentations that were being repeated already ad nauseam by many others a long time ago.Funny really, since this was originally nothing but a general expression of admiration for Rosenman's score.I don't care whether "members of the classic community" like Yo-Yo Ma praise Williams or not. It's questionable whether those folks are familiar enough with film music to name someone besides Williams anyway.And besides, who would not be praising the guy you share a CD cover with?Nobody would say Hayden Christensen was convincing as Anakin because George Lucas and Natalie Portman praise him.Not that JW doesn't deserve the praise, but if you want to find positive feedback on a composer by somebody "important", you will find it.For god's sake, there are classic lovers who adore Zimmer's Gladiator!

John Takis 206 Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 I don't care whether "members of the classic community" like Yo-Yo Ma praise Williams or not. It's questionable whether those folks are familiar enough with film music to name someone besides Williams anyway.As for the rest, give people a little more credit. Professional "classical" musicians do, I suspect, go to the movies. Are they more or less likely than ordinary folks to notice the composer?As for LOTR ... Rosenman's score is quite good on its own terms. I rate it ****/*****. Shore's magnum opus, on the other hand, is, in my opinion, a bona fide five-star masterpiece, and one of the greatest feats of film music ever accomplished. Shore's place in film music's upper tier is secure, in my book. Is he "better" than Williams? Like Goldsmith, he's different from Williams. And like Goldsmith, I won't bother pitting them against each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Coscina 3 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I love listening to Shore. But when I'm tired of hearing whole notes for 60 minutes I turn to John Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
