Screw it, here's a hot take for y'all: THIS is the "Empire" score Williams was put on this wretched mudball for. I just pulled this one out myself. That new arrangement of Devil's Dance has me running back to 1987 to see what Williams was up to. I normally look at the five years from 84-89 as sort of a lull (if the man ever really had one) but those two scores are really much much better than I remember. Going to be giving both movies a watch too since I believe they are both on HBO Max right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post crocodile 7,984 Posted July 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2020 Vertigo (McNeely recording). This is one of my favourite albums of all time. Beautifully played and captured, this recording actually surpasses the original. It's alluring and seductive. The disc doesn't feature the complete score but it's a very well put together selection. You don't really need the remaining material. This is film music perfection. Karol blondheim, KK, Romão and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying that syncing the performance to the film is necessarily a bad idea. But Bespin's "as they play it in concerts" implies retaining all the edits (and even those of the SEs, although the original releases were bad enough), and that's a no go.

HunterTech 987 Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 The Martian (2015) - Harry Gregson-Williams Gave this one a go today, and I thought it was quite pleasant, if a bit lacking in much proper direction. It's more inspired in its electronic/orchestral hybrid style than a lot of its contemporaries, and overall makes for a nice sort of mood piece. I feel I need to listen to it again to better gauge what I think of it, but it's definitely one to recommend if you want something calming to put on the background with occasional bits of heavier orchestra.

Because TLJ and TROS showed how fantastic a new recording of those scores could sound. I'd be surprised if any generation tapes of the original recordings could compete. Doesn't mean I don't still want them to record Lionheart, Captain Blood, and The Hallelujah Trail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd buy that. I would have The Empire Strikes Back at the top of my recording list if I ever win the lottery (guess I should start by entering it first...). The original is undeniably great, but I love the idea of a full second recording by a top flight orchestra and conductor, tackling it as though it were an opera or a long tone poem. I'm deliberately trying to avoid the phrase "re-recording" as they seem to have a negative connotation for film music fans (but not something that classical music listeners get hung up about... indeed, in some ways it makes me glad that we don't have an "original" Beethoven 5 or whatever against which every one of the 432534325 recordings of it would be measured... by all accounts, modern orchestras and conductors perform some of those classic works better than they were ever performed during the composer's lifetime... but I digress...).

But hoo boy is it good! It is such a fantastic album with some of my favourite concerts works from Williams on it, the Cello Concerto, Elegy for Cello and Orchestra and Heartwood. Yo-Yo Ma's playing is as always technically impeccable but what's more important very moving and emotionally resonant. I would love to have Volume 2 with music from Williams' film scores arranged by the composer for Yo-Yo Ma much like the gorgeous Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone album.
