indy4 155 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE (ELFMAN)MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE II (ZIMMER) (YES, I KNOW)Mission 2 is a really fun score, despite what others say. And while there's some Zimmerisms taken to the headache inducing-extreme, a lot of it is brand new territory for Hans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 By Request is the CD that really got me into JW's music. It is fantastic!I don't listen to most of it, I've never been particularly fond of its versions of much-recorded pieces like the Star Wars cues, or their sound characteristics, for that matter. It's still an essential album for the Liberty Fanfare (love that middle section) and the gorgeous Cowboys Suite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still an essential album for the Liberty Fanfare (love that middle section) and the gorgeous Cowboys Suite.I will admit, upon receiving the soundtracks for most of the music I don't listen as much to By Request, although that's probably more due to my desires to hear the entire scores at once than a preference of recording. However the two tracks you mentioned are essentials, and it also has my favorite recording of "The Mission." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incanus 5,715 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I for one love the Boston Symphony Hall acoustics on the By Request album. E.g. Theme from Superman (although a bit different version than the normal) sounds fantastic and has a sense of space and scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wojo 2,453 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 By Request is one of the finest "greatest hits" albums of John Williams' career (albeit up to 1987) that you will find, and is a worthy addition to anyone's collection.After all, if you went to a concert, you would almost certainly hear those types of arrangements instead of JW conducting an entire score.

publicist 4,643 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I love the sound of the hall on Williams Sony recording. But most tracks on By Request sound, acoustically, rather flat to me.But that's solely due to the no bass/all highs mastering of mid-80's CD's. Those high-pitched cymbal crashes on the BY REQUEST cd can destroy your eardrums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Yes. For the record, the Murphy-recorded Skywalker Symphony Star Wars album is also low on bass, and for a long time I thought it sounded bad, but on a decent system, it actually has quite a range. But the By Request stuff mostly seems to lack punch not just because of low bass, but a generally muddy, non-transparent 80s DDD sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,013 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Tadlow release of Franz Waxman's Taras Bulba. Heard large chunks of this score and it sounds like a powerhouse work (and recording/performance as well).Karol - seriously thinking of adding two Conans as well.

TheTennisBallKid 17 Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I'm listening to that one now. It's fantastic.I was familar with The Ride to Dubno, of course, but there's a lot more to like about this score. The Love theme, in particular, is stuck in my head.Out of the Tadlow recordings I've only got this and El Cid, but they're all on my to-get list.

indy4 155 Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 I used some extra Amazon gift cards to get the following:Liszt: Piano Concertos 1-2, Totentanz - Seiji Ozawa with the Boston Symphony OrchestraOn the Town (Original Cast Recording) - Leonard BernsteinSleepers - John WilliamsI also purchased MP3's of the following:"I've Got the World on a String" - Jamie Davis"Perthshire Majesty" - Columbus State University Wind EnsembleSleepers is one of four easily accessible Williams OSTs that I haven't yet had an opportunity to purchase (the others are Rosewood, Presumed Innocent, and Stanely and Iris). I'm especially excited for this one because it's also the only officially released Williams score that I have never heard in any form before - no re-recordings, no samples, and I've never seen the film (I purposely skipped over the Sleepers tracks on Erik Wood's tribute for this reason). I'm not sure if this has ever happened before for me for a JW release, usually I've had some sort of taste-test, even if I've been willing to buy completely blind. I'm curious to see if it'll affect my impressions of the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
