Incanus 5,716 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Great news! I was hoping for more mainstream Shore scores to look forwards to, rather than the usual dark Cronenberg films.I am sure that Shore can somehow find the murky undercurrent of child drug use and "chasing the dragon" in this story. The dragon ain't called Puff without a reason. But seriously a new Shore score is always welcome. And this might turn out to be something very interesting.

crocodile 8,020 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I only just read the article and noticed it's being shot in New Zealand! Lets hope Shore gets as much inspiration from the film as he did from LOTR and creates another brilliant score.But then, he composed a children score known as The Last Mimzy. And that didn't exactly set the world on fire...Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Ware 526 Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 It's all rather subdued and the thematic material is a bit clunky, for want of a better word. The last two tracks (The Tear and Through the Looking Glass) are rather good and would make a great concert suite.The song is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannhauser 101 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Hey folks,Haven't been round here for a long time, but thought I'd pop my head up to alert you to this wonderful find. The second movement from Lang Lang's recording of Shore's piano concerto "Ruin and Memory" is available in great quality from this site http://www.hd-hall.com/music/detail?id=144#?and it's absolutely gorgeous. A nice teaser for the full release which will hopefully see the light of day sometime! Enjoy! Incanus and crocodile 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tannhauser 101 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 In fact - the whole album, containing Shore's concerto paired with Rachmaninov's 2nd, is available to download from that site for the princely sum of about £1.50. It's a slightly confusing system, you can purchase two lots of 700mb credit (6.99 yuan each) which will give you enough "surplus flow" to download the album. I'm downloading now, but it's wretchedly slow. 6 hours remaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannhauser 101 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Please bear in mind this is only half the concerto and is of questionable legitimacy.Half the concerto? It's got all 3 movements, 28 minutes duration. It's a long time since I've looked at the score and don't have it to hand, but I'm pretty sure it's all there. I'm also pretty sure it's the same recording as was featured in the "Composer's Dream" documentary.What do you mean exactly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Ware 526 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Closing these things down is a tricky business.

TownerFan 4,984 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 In all honesty, that Rachmaninov-esque second movement didn't impress me much at first listen, it seems to wander in a lyrical ear-pleasing land without any direction. Of course I will save any judgement for when I have listened to the entire concerto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tannhauser 101 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 I think the development of the main motif from the first movement is great in the second movement, which has some exquisitely beautiful writing throughout. My first impression is that the third movement is the weakest, but I need to give it a few more listens.I'd like to hear this conducted by Ludwig Wicki or Shore himself.
