jerrygollay 0 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I prefer the William Walton score , Chandos records and Naxos records have recorded it , Fan- tas - tic !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry B 50 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Wow, have three people seriously given this score one star? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 That's...interesting. Somebody must really have an aversion to the most Scottish film composer I know of, as this score may be lacking, but it's certainly not lacking 4 stars. A tremendous debut work. Constantly interesting, with some very good melodies, a very nice (if repetitive) song, wonderfully performed, in one of the best soundtrack recordings (sound-wise) ever. 4 stars from me. Morlock- who misses early Doyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hlao-roo 389 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Morlock- who misses early DoyleIndeed. And though his mid-career decline may be milder than Doyle's, Thomas Newman has arguably been doing little more than spinning his wheels since Angels in America, which was a brilliant summation of his body of work to that point. (The Good German may be an exception to the trend.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,177 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Doyle does seem rather bored these last few years. I think we already had a poll on Henry? Anyway, 4 stars from me (and just for reference, Much Ado About Nothing would get 5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Anyway, 4 stars from me (and just for reference, Much Ado About Nothing would get 5). Ditto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,322 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm only familiar with the one track on Kunzel's "The Great Fantasy Adventure Album". I don't skip over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Crichton 4 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 4. A wonderful listen, this is. Someday I'm going to get the rest of the Doyle/Branagh scores. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neimoidian 14 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 4,5 from me. I remember the standing ovation for Doyle in Ubeda last year, after he performed Non Nobis Domine with the orchestra and choir. What a glorious moment! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 1,059 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 4 Stars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Woods 555 Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 This is still Doyle's greatest achievement and up there with Bernard Herrmann's Citizen Kane as one of the best debut film scores of all time! 5 stars!-Erik- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
