Romão 2,274 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Korngold is much much better composer than Max Steiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pieter Boelen 740 Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 The only shame is that Captian Blood (both the score and the movie) will forever be in Sea Hawk's shadow.It would help if there were a proper rerecording of the WHOLE of Captain Blood. I think I like the Captain Blood main theme more than The Sea Hawk, but it seems the existance of Captain Blood is being pretty much ignored or something like that.

Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 Yes. The suite on Marco Polo (now Naxos) is stunning though, and the release of the OST recording is actually very listenable to me, despite the old sound.Korngold is much much better composer than Max Steiner.Oh yes.

MSM 126 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I listened to Sea Hawk and I didn;t like it that much. Too typical golden age soundingKorngold invented the "Golden Age." That sound was in his music before it was in Hollywood, even before Hollywood had sound at all! Period.But, Williams invented the "Christmas sound" Btw there is a new re-recording of Sea Hawk complete:http://www.musicweb-international.com/clas...d_chan10438.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,716 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Btw there is a new re-recording of Sea Hawk complete:http://www.musicweb-international.com/clas...d_chan10438.htmWell it is not complete score recording but rather a condensing of the score into 76 minutes (in 6 suites) as the site informs us. Interesting addition to the Korngold re-recording canon. I might pick this one up just to hear another interpretation of the classic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might pick this one up just to hear another interpretation of the classic Despite some portions of the score in this album being omitted, this is probably the best recording to get right now. I love what Stromberg and Morgan are doing, but they've got to find a way to get that tinny, dry sound out of their recordings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,211 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 I think the sound is fine. The Russian (?) singers are the problem. Luckily, they're only in three tracks (but one of them is - for me at least - supposed to be the highlight, and it definitely isn't on the otherwise great Morgan/Stromberg version).

MSM 126 Posted May 11, 2008 Share Posted May 11, 2008 Williams writes much better themesListen to KING'S ROW.Which recording do you think is the best regarding to sound quality? I like the crisp clear sound with a snippet reverb that is more often found on recent recordings.Btw for them among us who wonder where Williams got his SW Main Theme from :http://nl.youtube.com/watch?v=X5lA9wMLcPs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limbonaut 2 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Two weeks ago, Family Guy used Korngold's score from the The Sea Hawk for this sequence where Peter Griffen becomes a modern day pirate:Family Guy Pirate Chase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton007 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Deception is my fave Korngold so far. Gorgeous lush strings. Very romantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
