Naïve Old Fart 9,552 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 I'm with you there! "MOTOE" is a fantastic score, and well deserving of its Oscar nomination. "Equus", "Far From The Madding Crowd", "Four Weddings And A Funeral", his work on the Doctor Who story "The Aztecs", and "Gormenghast" aren't too shabby, either. Also, check out his work with the jazz singer, Claire Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
