Naïve Old Fart 9,516 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Just got a CD of The River for $25 dollars.Nice! I think I bought it at a similar price at SAE a couple of years ago. It's a lovely score, and one of JW's two best of 1984. What do you think of it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lovely score, and one of JW's two best of 1984. What do you think of it?As you say it is a really lovely score, something entirely different with its rustic Americana that has nice shades of jazzy and bluesy influences. It could not be more different compared to the other score of the year, Temple of Doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 8,006 Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I'm halfway through it. Gloomy and suspenseful. Somewhat contradictory as well, in that it merges both Herrmann with more typical modern suspense droning. I'll share more thoughts later.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I just bought and listened to Sleepers. The orchestra's performance might be the flattest and most unenthusiastic of any modern JW score . The score itself is well written though.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 That's my situation, but I've decided it's not worth it. Concerts, for me, need to have good seats to make it a memorable experience. If I'm not in the thick of it, I find little difference than sitting at my desk listening to the music.
