Thor 7,558 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I broke the news about the piano quartet back in October, when he related it to me on the red carpet in Vienna. I've been waiting to hear it come to fruition ever since. Who do we speak to to get this (and the violin concerto) recorded and released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TownerFan 4,991 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 In the interview with Tim Greiving last June, Elfman said he's planning to record the Violin Concerto. It's safe to assume he'll record the Piano Quartet as well, probably to be released on the same disc. Here's another interview with Elfman about the new piece: http://netnebraska.org/basic-page/radio/net-music Incanus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveMc 2,674 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Sounds quite excellent, masterful even. The slow movement especially seems glorious.

Yavar Moradi 2,614 Posted March 17, 2018 Share Posted March 17, 2018 Yes, but first things first...and the violin writing in Black Beauty for the win! Hoping one of the labels gets around to a definitive Sommersby too, though. And Varese needs to Deluxify Dolores Claiborne. Yavar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's obviously bored with the latter. I don't think he should quit film scoring, but he should tone down the blockbusters and action movies and superhero things and focus more on the indie fare and smaller films, where he really excels these days. But I agree -- he should continue his concert work streak too. He recently said this was "Part 4" of his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done some spectacular scores in the last couple of decades too. But in terms of concert works -- yes, I think it very well might be. Seems more coherent than the "Serenada Schizophrana", for example, which is his most ambitious concert piece thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thor 7,558 Posted June 27, 2018 Share Posted June 27, 2018 THE CIRCLE was one of my favourite scores last year. Other good ones are THE END OF THE TOUR, THE UNKNOWN KNOWN (my favourite score in 2013), PROMISED LAND, RESTLESS, just to mention some in recent years. The big action things and blockbusters and whatnot have left me completely unimpressed. But he really seems to fire on all cylinders with all these concert works recently. Looking forward very much to the new Gus van Sant movie DON'T WORRY, HE WON'T GET FAR ON FOOT that comes out later this year (and what a title!). Hopefully DUMBO too. Although a 'blockbuster'-type film, it's still Burton. Once 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Danny Elfman to Score ‘The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle’ Quote Danny Elfman has been hired to score the upcoming fantasy adventure The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle. The film is directed by Stephen Gaghan (Syriana, Gold) and stars Robert Downey Jr., Jim Broadbent, Antonio Banderas and Michael Sheen. The project’s voice cast includes Selena Gomez, Tom Holland, Emma Thompson, Ralph Fiennes, Rami Malek, Octavia Spencer, Kumail Nanjiani, Craig Robinson, John Cena, Marion Cotillard, Carmen Ejogo and Frances de la Tour. The movie is based on the character from Hugh Lofting’s 1920s series of children’s books about a Victorian-era physician who opts to treat animals instead of humans because he’s able to speak with them. Susan Downey (Sherlock Holmes, The Judge) is producing the movie for Team Downey, alongside Joe Roth (Alice in Wonderland, Maleficent) and Jeff Kirschenbaum (xXx: Return of Xander Cage). The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle is set to be released on April 12, 2019 by Universal Pictures. I had no idea this movie was a thing. Robert Downey, Jr. playing Dr. Dolittle in a movie coming a mere 2-3 weeks before Avengers 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Will 2,215 Posted August 28, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted August 28, 2018 Just wanted to pop in here to sing my praises once again of Rabbit and Rogue. It's an absolutely sublime work, so perfectly crafted and engaging all the way through. It's romantic, surprising, and foot-tapping -- often all at the same time. A five star masterpiece, and I mean that very sincerely. I've listened to it several times just today! Check it out if you haven't.

SteveMc 2,674 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I was so busy, I did not get a chance to hear the Elfman concerto before the video was erased. Oh well, more waiting then. @Will, I did listen to the ballet. Some very good stuff in there. Nice lyrical writing, and interesting use of instruments, notably saxaphone. Not all that enthused with some of the electronic stuff. Just does not mesh too well with the rest, for me. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
