Disco Stu 15,495 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 Citizen Kane is a very entertaining and cool movie. I love this period of the late 30s/early 40s when the newer generation of composers like Herrmann and Copland and Rozsa came in and changed what Hollywood film scores could sound like.

Thor 7,553 Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 While last year's horror score for THE INNOCENTS was fascinating in-context, it's not what I go to Pessi for. He's very good at approximating Williams' more downkey/smaller ensemble style, also on display here. Some nice writing for bassoon(?), in particular.

Thor 7,553 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 "Sports movie score" from 2011, Morricone-style, which means fewer patriotic anthems and jagged action sequences, and more nobility tinged with melancholy. One of his best, post-millennium. Gotta giggle at the last, 10-minute track "Rock?" -- which is kinda rock, and kinda not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,553 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 This was one of the Cipriani favourites that surfaced in my recent exploration. It drags a bit eventually (even at a reasonable 45 minutes), due to its repetitive nature, but still very good. It's nothing like Poledouris' THE BLUE LAGOON, really, even though it's romantic. It has more of those 70s Euro light jazz touches that were still the rage in 1980, when the film came out. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,553 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 This is not on the level of THE LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, and Gabriel reuses a lot of material from preceding studio albums -- but his new compositions combined with the instrumental versions of the existing material bleed together wonderfully. Airy, mysterious and tribal. The film was one of my favourites in my teenage years. Naïve Old Fart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raiders of the SoundtrArk 2,434 Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 Always (LLL) by John Williams Last year was overall amazing for the Williams expansions between the magnificient sound improvements of Images, Eiger and Fiddler and the perfect C&C presentation for this one which make me like it on an all other level. It never had been a score I used to listen a lot (besides Dorinda Flight) but now I can hardly pass a month without it. A true gem!

JNHFan2000 2,974 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Rich In Love - Georges Deleure Delerue's final score. He passed a way a few hours after the last recording session. This score is everything Delerue did so wel thoughout his career. Beautiul, romantic music. The score has 3 themes which all get a decent playtime throughout the score. There's some exquisite writing for solo woodwinds, guitar and strings. It's a fantastic score. What more can I say Tom Guernsey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
