ChrisAfonso 176 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 As for specific comments about Daugherty (requested by Marian):-Fire&Blood (violin concerto)I have to listen to it more often to get more into it... it starts out pretty fun and energetic, and contains cool virtuoso violin writing (lots of double and triple stops), and some mexican elements which add spice in the second movement... mariachi sound and all My attention always wanes a bit during the third movement...-MotorCity TriptychAlso a fun and energetic piece, several parts have a very film-music-like sound to them, sometimes there's a really captivating tension going, action music wise... The different soloists (trumpet, three trombones) in the 2nd and 3rd movement add some welcome diversity between the movements. As of now, I like this a bit better than the violin concerto -Raise the Roof (timpani concerto)The best piece on this disc, containing two contrasting themes, one of which especially manages to sound at times like medieval Gregorian chant, at others like George Gershwin Amazing timpani playing throughout (you can watch this on youtube by several performers), did I mention fun and energetic (two words fitting for most Daugherty piece I've heard yet)? Perhaps one reason I like this piece best here is the total length of 13 minutes, enough time to present a load of cool stuff, but constricted enough not to get too repetitive or incoherent.So Marian, now it's your turn commenting on the Corigliano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,244 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 I've emailed them several times over the course of the 4+ weeks it's taking them. Last week they said they would receive their shipment of Italian scores on Thursday, well it's Sunday and my order is still pending.Another week has gone by and still pending. I'm done complaining, this is bullshit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 915 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Sometimes SAE will ship your order and not update it until the day you receive the order.I would suggest picking up the phone and airing your grievences with them instead of a message board. I'm sure there is a good reason as to why your order has not shipped.Anyhoo, in going through my dad's belongings I have been sorting thru his CD collection and suprisingly found Varese's recording of The Last Of The Mohicans.So I've added that to my collection along with Goldsmith's I.Q./Seconds from LaLaLand.

Koray Savas 2,244 Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Sometimes SAE will ship your order and not update it until the day you receive the order.Yeah, but it updated on My Orders page for my last shipment. I didn't get the shipment confirmation e-mail until an entire day after I received my package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Penna 2,951 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 I ordered Ice Age 3, Da Vinci Code and Gods & Generals.Every couple of months I have a sudden ethical spout, and look for any good deals on scores I don't technically own yet. I'm deliberating on Angels & Demons because the only track I routinely listen to is "Science and Religion", although since seeing the film I do enjoy the rest.My current issue with buying music is that a lot of them (particularly from Varese) are only available either on CD for about £20 or can also be downloaded but for £8 or so. I think that's still too much for mp3s, particularly if it's a score that you don't listen to much, but still think the artist and label should receive something for.

publicist 4,638 Posted October 28, 2009 Share Posted October 28, 2009 My current issue with buying music is that a lot of them (particularly from Varese) are only available either on CD for about £20 or can also be downloaded but for £8 or so. I think that's still too much for mp3s, particularly if it's a score that you don't listen to much, but still think the artist and label should receive something for.Digital downloads enable you to only buy the good stuff. This may sound like a terribly broad definition, but i hardly need more than 3 or 4 cuts from most albums - and the mp3 era has teached me to be choosy, especially with soundtracks. So this means i seldom pay more than 3 or 4 € per score on iTunes or amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,244 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Finally got my SAE order containing Dark Of The Sun, Allonsanfan, and La Storia Vera Della Signora Dalle Camelie.A nice surprise that made the last 8 hours of work seem less awful.

Nick Parker 3,041 Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Yes, the price for a CD is probably at least 20 times the cost (although there is one seemingly good deal for it on eBay.com right now). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What the fuck?! My original delivery estimate was the 27th-30th. But a couple days ago Amazon emailed me saying they had to delay my order. Now the estimate is like mid-November.

Nick Parker 3,041 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I personally would not be too worried about the delivery estimate. I noticed that Amazon.com has been extremely exaggerating estimated delivery dates as of recently, oftentimes estimating at least a month from the day one placed their order. It could be different in your case, however.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,244 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 I placed the order for this awhile back, probably about a month. At first it was unavailable, then it said "usually ships in..." meaning they have it on order. The delivery estimate is most likely accurate because this CD is an import. I'm just confused because I know I placed my order before Joe, and he got his based on my first delivery estimate while it seems like I'm going to get mine on his. Joe, didn't you say over at FSM that for you it was November something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Brausam 211 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Yeah, mine was the middle of November - I assumed you had already got yours because you DID order yours before me, that's how I found out about the deal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koray Savas 2,244 Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 This is weird. Well hopefully it doesn't get delayed again and I get it in November. In the meantime I will enjoy my SAE order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
