Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 2, 2017 Share Posted February 2, 2017 The Red Pony - Aaron Copland Got this in the mail on Monday and holy cow is it great. Copland Americana at its most memorable and likable. This release of the original recordings probably won't supplant the Williams/BPO recording of the suite for me, but it's really nice to have.

Hey! I listened to JW's Cello Concerto, Horn Concerto, and For the President's Own tonight! Particularly the former two definitely broadened my horizons, if perhaps not as much as you suggest here. And no BFG or La La Land. I don't actually listen to the BFG that much. It's been a while since I've listened to more than a track or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publicist 4,643 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 'Time out', maybe the most far-out modernist thing Goldsmith wrote for the movies post-'Alien'. Whoever had the bright idea to score this like a modestly sized Bartok-influenced chamber piece for piano, synthesizer and percussions (which was something they let composers get away with in 60's tv) needs to be congratulated (Joe Dante?). Think what marvelous effect such a piece could have today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Naïve Old Fart 9,727 Posted February 3, 2017 Share Posted February 3, 2017 Since Landis directed TIME OUT, it's reasonable to assume that he dictated what style of music the piece should have. It depends on how much he was involved in post-production... Agreed, TIME OUT is great, as is the rest of the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sir Hilary Bray 235 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 John Barry- The Dove and The Knack. The former had that certain effect that I can't elaborate on. I've never seen the Dove but the score conjured images of Alpine scenery, the Med and so on. Nelson Riddle's Batman the Movie. Quincy Jones' The Italian Job -Getta Bloomin' Move On/Self Preservation Society always infectious. Airplane II- Richard Hazard/Elmer Bernstein Hard to guage -half Bernstein's material from the first film and half, more or less, Stu Phillips' Battlestar work from Saga of a Star World.

Dixon Hill 4,234 Posted February 7, 2017 Share Posted February 7, 2017 21 hours ago, TheGreyPilgrim said: The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers - Howard Shore (complete recordings) Building on this - this is probably, by a very narrow margin of course, the one I listen to the least frequently, either in pieces or in whole. I'm always so delighted by how many colorful, evocative moments there are in this score which is definitely characterized by a bleaker, darker tone than its surrounding fellows. It certainly is that, but there is so much more in there. I've mentioned before how some of the SW prequel scores have stretches of atmospheric underscore that are almost like ambient music for the Star Wars universe - you can just sort of daydream in that "world" to those stretches since there's nothing dramatically too demanding there. Parts of this score are similar in that way. Some of the material from Ithilien and the Forbidden Pool scene, for example, are really gorgeously nocturnal in that Middle-Earthian way, and I wish there were more of it.
