Loert 2,510 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Alexander Nevsky (Sergei Prokofiev) Whoops, didn't realise Max Steiner's King Kong was older. But in about 20 minutes it will be this: Can't beat that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,287 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 The Pink Panther for me probably Of course, I've heard TRACKS from older scores on compilations, etc but that I think is the oldest entire album for one film I've heard The oldest one I own in Jerry's City of Fear from 1959, but I haven't listened to it yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrbellamy 6,272 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I think Gottfried Huppertz's Metropolis (1927) is the oldest one I own and have listened to apart from the film. Older than that, I've heard Huppertz's Die Nibelungen (1924) and Wolfgang Zeller's The Adventures of Prince Achmed (1926) just through watching the movies.

Thor 7,465 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Some of you guys speak about early films as if there was no music before Hollywood. Yet there is SO much great silent film music out there, especially from the 20s. Like Mr. Bellamy, I believe Huppertz' METROPOLIS (1927) is probably the earliest one I've listened to the most. I've been wanting to check out Breil's THE BIRTH OF A NATION (1915) for some time, but never got around to it. Is it even available in a decent rerecording? I believe Saint-Saëns' L'ASSASINAT DU DUC DE GUISE (1908) -- widely considered to be the first original film score -- has never been recorded in any format?

Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Probably The Adventures of Robin Hood. Unfortunately, the dismal sound quality couldn't make it stick. Does anyone know of a good re-recording? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bespin 8,480 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 About re-recordings, surely on these two ones: For an entire score, it's John Williams of course: 1961 (TV) 1967 (Movie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 That feels surprisingly modern compared to other scores from that period.

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yes, I'm fine. Thank you, Thufir..er, Stefan. It's not modern audiences I'm railing against, it's the arrogance of the studios that think they can put out any old crap, and expect it to sell, which, of course, it does. So many films, these days are empty, violent pieces of PG-13 junk, that appeal to 11-18 year-olds, with absolutely no idea of what a truly great film is. They are being brainwashed into believing that these piles of crap are actually good, when, in reality, they are an insidious, creeping evil.

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Sometimes I give, sometime I take. It is mine to which and when! (sigh) I despair in seeing the young of this world being force-fed this diet of mindless violence, and destruction. They are all so angry, and the children watching them, are angry. I know this from first-hand experience. These films are aberrations, which need to be challenged, otherwise we are going to have an entire generation of children (if we don't already) that grow up believing that the only to solve problems, is to blow stuff up, and fuck the consequences.

Naïve Old Fart 9,498 Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 They look upon us with contempt, and make no mistake. We are cassette players, in a streaming world - obsolete. They think they are gods, but #they're only immortal, for a limited time#. Fortunately, the children that I have helped, all have the same issue: relationships, ie lack of. It doesn't take much to relate to a child, if you know how. It pains me to see their minds, and hearts being poisoned, like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
