Thor 9,308 Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 I have a nostalgic connection to this series, which was shown on Norwegian TV during a summer in the mid 80s. Bruhn's score is jaunty and delightful, with pirate tropes aplenty. Bruhn is still with us, btw, age 90. GerateWohl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 9,167 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Rise of the Guardians. I am not as receptive to the cute fantasy music anymore (age?) but this is a very strong score from Desplat nonetheless. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmmusic 2,605 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I am just listening to this soundtrack. But does anyone know what's the story with the composer? Imdb and the front cover say it's Morricone (soundtrackcollector.com too). Other sources say the first and last track are Morricone, and the rest is Frisina. So, which is it? (well, the in between tracks don't sound Morriconish to me anyway. But they don't sound Frisinish either) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marian Schedenig 10,120 Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 I just watched what I assumed when I bought it and up until I heard the main title music was the 1953 version of Julius Caesar. When the titles came up, I thought: 1) odd, I have two versions of the Rózsa score and this doesn't sound familiar, and b) it doesn't even sound like Rózsa. Turns out it was the 1970 version of the film, which I wasn't even aware of until that moment. The score is by Michael J. Lewis, and had two bits that surprised me. Number one is this recurring theme, which reminds me very much of Shore's theme for Rohan: The other is a recurring bit of music that sounds the me like it must almost certainly have been the temp track for Goldsmith's Players. It doesn't seem to be available online; it starts with this horn ostinato: …which is then joined by the orchestra chords that also appear in these fanfares: It's a mis-buy I don't regret. What I do regret is that there has never been a release of this score (aside apparently from two re-recorded cues by the City of Prague Philharmonic - including the one posted above, which YouTube curiously attributes to The Hobbit). I'd buy a score release if someone were to release one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 9,308 Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 REQUIEM FOR A DREAM is a brilliant score. Haven't heard any remix album, but it makes sense since it's a such a widely referenced score, and a type that lends itself to re-interpretations. I'll be checking out that now.

I'm not sure I've ever listened to any Rombi, or if I have, I don't remember it. The attempt of Mancini at serious scoring is marvelous! Not that I don't like his usual style, I like it very much, but it's just that it's lighter and source-music like.. 2 great themes mostly here, that are variated throughout the score. Disappointing that Varese didn't get it right this time again, and we don't have a couple of overlays here and there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crocodile 9,167 Posted May 7 Popular Post Share Posted May 7 Lair. A very strong video game score by John Debney and Kevin Kaska. Yeah, it is a bit of a stew including influences like Poledouris, Williams, Rozsa or even Zimmer, but it has some really strong themes that help to establish its own identity. Next to The Passion of the Christ and Cutthroat Island, it's Debney's best. Karol JGF, Yavar Moradi and Jurassic Shark 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Dimitrescu 9,804 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Every time I listen to this, the more I like it. It's a load of effective orchestral chaos and barbarism that's intertwined with Lara's civilised but haunted sounding theme, which is really the hook of this whole thing. It's not an easy listen, but I marvel at its intelligence. The sequel scores are functional but they lack the heart and class of the 2013 one.
