Jay 37,323 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Yes, some very lovely passages.

As-is, it is a wonderful Christmas album. Songs and all. Incomplete but indicative of album lengths of the time. I have never whittled it or its sequel down to just the score for round-the-year listening. I figure those and my TSO albums have zero play counts on my iPod.

It would be nice if one of the labels were to release a complete score for the first Home Alone film.

TownerFan 4,983 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Home Alone was one of those little great lovely works that Williams seems able to pull off with such grace and gusto. It's a charming score imbued with lovely references to Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev. I still remember it was very strange back then to see his name attached to what looked like a silly comedy. However, the film did unexpected ginormous box-office and seemed to reinforce the idea that Williams had the super-power of only choosing films that would become huge successes. It's interesting to note that he accepted to do it because he saw an opportunity to write original Christmas-themed music. On a trivia note, Bruce Broughton was originally assigned to write the score, but he had to walk off because of scheduling conflict.As for the sequel, Williams clearly had a very narrow road to walk on, as the film is de facto a carbon copy of the first one, with just different location (hence the verbatim quotes from the first score). But there are several great new moments throughout: the Plaza Hotel music is lovely and the rambunctious Prokofiev-esque action music is quite exciting for a silly movie like this one.

Jay 37,323 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 The Tudors: Season 4 By Trevor MorrisShowtime's THE TUDORS — a favorite with critics and audiences — presents the rarely dramatized, tumultuous early years of King Henry VIII's nearly 40-year, omnipotent reign (1509 – 1547). In addition to his famous female consorts, his 20+-year marriage to Catherine of Aragon, and the infamous dalliance with Anne Boleyn, THE TUDORS delves into Henry's most notable political relationship and the deconstruction of the Roman Catholic Church in England. Season 4 — the final season — focuses on Henry's ill-fated marriage to Katherine Howard, his uncommonly successful final marriage with Katherine Parr, an attempted invasion of France and the question of the kingdom's leadership after Henry's death. Composer Trevor Morris won the 2007 Emmy Award for Best Theme for THE TUDORS and his music for Season 4 exhibits his best work yet, allowing him the opportunity to bring this epic saga to a powerful close. Season 4 of THE TUDORS will be available on DVD and BluRay on October 12. Varèse Sarabande Catalog #: 302 067 049 2Release Date: 10/12/10 Track List: 1. The Tudors Main Titles (1:34)2.

As their bond grows deeper, a beautiful relationship unfolds embodying the true spirit of family and loyalty, while inspiring the hearts of an entire town. Jan A.P.

Jay 37,323 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 GET LOWOriginal Motion Picture Score Music Composed by Jan A.P. Kaczmarek Robert Duvall Sissy Spacek Bill Murray Lucas Black Get Low is inspired by the true story of Felix “Bush” Breazeale, who attracted national attention and the largest crowd to assemble up to that date when he threw himself a living funeral party in 1938 in Roane County, Tennessee. For years, townsfolk have been terrified of the backwoods recluse known as Felix Bush (Robert Duvall). People say he’s done all manner of unspeakable things, and they avoid him like the plague. Then, one day, Felix rides to town with a shotgun and a wad of cash, saying he wants to buy a living funeral, in which anyone who ever had heard a story about him will come to tell it, while he takes it all in. Sensing a big payday in the offing, fast-talking funeral home owner Frank Quinn (Bill Murray) enlists his gentlemanly young apprentice, Buddy Robinson (Lucas Black), who discovers that behind Felix’s surreal plan lies a very real and long-held secret that must get out. As the funeral approaches, the mystery — which involves the widow Mattie Darrow (Sissy Spacek), the only person in town who ever got close to Felix, and the Illinois preacher Charlie Jackson (Bill Cobbs), who refuses to speak at his former friend‘s funeral — only deepens. But on the big day, Felix is the one who is going to do the telling about why he has been hiding out in the woods. Employing a string quartet accompanied by piano, the score by Acadamy Award-winning composer Jan A.P. Kaczmarek (Finding Neverland) suggests a sense of mystery and anticipation, eventually swelling to a full orchestral setting. Sony Pictures Classics’ Get Low was met with great acclaim when it began its rollout on July 30.

Koray Savas 2,251 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 HOLY FUCK!!!Limited to 5,000 copiesLOST: The Last Episodes Original Television SoundtrackMusic Composed by Michael GiacchinoLOST's final season contained just too much great music from Michael Giacchino for a single or even a double CD to suffice. It was clear at the recording session for the series finale that our treatment of this historic television saga demanded an unprecedented final soundtrack release. In total we have chronicled LOST's final season with not one or two or even three CDs full of music, but a full 4 discs, featuring five hours of music! Lost: The Last Episodes now joins our previously released Lost: The Final Season to conclude our presentation of music from LOST's final sixteen episodes.CD 1 of LOST: The Last Episodes features music from The Candidate, Across The Sea and What They Died For. Disc 2 is devoted solely to the epic and emotional concluding episode, The End. And that brings our LOST soundtrack series to a whopping ten discs! Bravo to Michael Giacchino and congratulations to J.J. Abrams, Damon Lindelof, Carlton Cuse, Bryan Burk and the entire LOST team! And thank you to all the LOST fans who have been part of this epic journey since Varèse Sarabande's Season 1 album.

fommes 153 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 I'm really, really starting to hate Varèse. It's always them that are adding a new dimension to the costliness of our niche and to the stupid limited edition business strategy: e.g. Star Trek Deluxe, the unwillingness to give discounts to SAE and the other retailers, their unwillingness to put a lower price on the package so that non-US folk get nailed by customs; they were also the first to go 'mainstream' with the 500/1000/1500/etc. limited edition strategy (which prompted other labels to follow in order to keep up), and now this. They've got the most popular titles, usually, and that's why they get away with it. (And that's even leaving out the fact that they're the first to have errors in their releases and then shut up about them, but let's not go there again.)

Joe Brausam 214 Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 This is the first time I ordered from their Limited Edition line - and I got both of them. I'm glad to see that they followed up on Lost, between the 4 discs representing the final season I really have to say that they've given the customers what they wanted, rather than a half-assed presentation.
