Morlock 11 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Don't know why this hasn't gotten any feedback yet.....I listened to it earlier- terrific interview! Informative, you (obviously) knew what you were talking about (unlike many composer interviews), And Doyle seemed totally engaged. Good stuff. May I ask- in what function did you contact him?

gkgyver 1,645 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Because he's the composer who replaced John Williams on Harry Potter, obviously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romão 2,274 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Great interview and Doyle sounds like a trully nice guy. And yes, there's nothing but praise for Williams coming from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Which basically means that PD has just gained a whole new level of respect here on this board, which in turn will lead to his future scores being 'reviewed' in a much better light, as far as peeps on here are concerned.Its amazing what a good personality (and reverence to JW) can do for one's rep AND work, here on the JW board.

Romão 2,274 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Something in the vein of "it's a honor to follow the footsteps of true master like Williams", and he also said he hopes Williams didn't mind him changing a bit the harmonies in Hedwig's theme.

Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Problem is, Doyle has also always seemed a nice guy, but that didn't stop people from jumping at his throat when he made some comment about Williams that wasn't 100% pure worshipping.

Morlock 11 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I think the whole Doyle-Williams stigma is simply because people assumed he held a grudge because of Stepmom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 And just because a lot of us (including me) think GoF was lacking doesn't mean we're going to condemn all the man's works.

Red 75 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 It's just a coincidence that Williams is both a nice guy and a great composer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 When did that happen?I don't remember the details, but something like that happened when Doyle was scoring his Potter movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I think it was the fact that when Doyle was asked what filmcomposers he admired, John Williams was not mentioned in his reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robthehand 3 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I thought it was even less specific - that he just didn't list a Williams score when asked what his favourite scores were.EDIT: If this is what you're referring to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mahler3 478 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 Thanks all for the very kind feedback, most here know how highly I have always regarded Doyle and indeed his work for Goblet of Fire. I've had the good fortune to meet him a couple of times and he really is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet and very funny too! So talented, unlike many composers he also is a fine actor and tenor!Composers he admire other than Williams are Goldsmith (he was at the Brosse / LSO concert) whom was one of his inspirations to compose for film.Morlock in answer to your question, the interview was arranged through his producer and agent, Maggie Rodford.The Royal Albert Hall concert really was one of the best concerts i've ever attended, very close to Williams & Goldsmith - to hear Derek Jacobi & Kenneth Branagh do live Shakespeare readings with Doyle's music being beautifully performed by the LSO was quite simply electrifying! And Alan Rickman is officially the coolest man that ever lived!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 What did Rickman say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mahler3 478 Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 When he waltzed onto the stage with his commanding presence he received probably the biggest applause of the night (which appeared to surprise him slightly) and just oozed charisma. He spoke candidly about working with Doyle on Sense & Sensibility and Ang Lee's amusing misunderstanding of English - stating that Doyle endeavoured to write beautiful music for the movie in the original liner notes. Also on-set frolics with Kate Winslet. The most amusing story was actually told by Robbie Coltrane, as Doyle hates cars he gets bored when Coltrane speaks to him about them. So when they were performing at a theatre, one night after the show they went to the pub with the rest of the crew and Coltrane started to ramble on about cars as usual. As soon as he went around each of the crew they fell to the floor pretending to faint - this continued with each person that Coltrane tried to talk to about cars. Seemingly Doyle had planned this mass prank! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I like his Much Ado About Nothing score, very bright and cheery one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 Why wasn't I at this concert!?(he was at the Brosse / LSO concert)He was? Shame I didn't spot him there. I know someone who once got a Poledouris autograph at a Barry concert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
