#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 Pope was hired to do a job professionally and efficiency and he did so. He wasn't hired to gush over Shores music as if it was the second coming. Thats why we have Doug Adams. Pope is perfectly entitled to his professional opinion.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted February 18, 2016 Share Posted February 18, 2016 I think he's talking about it more in the context of difficulty of playing the music rather than the quality of the music itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 John Williams never gave much of an impression that he thinks particularly highly of his own work? How is this any different? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although, and I say this with the comfort of anonymity, the "professional" part of professional opinion is sometimes curiously elided by Pope. He's a great guy and is for the most part classy, but sometimes he raises my eyebrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 And does so with more knowledge and insight then any of us here have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gkgyver 1,645 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 Saying "it will take time to do this, it's complicated. This isn't LotR" is not an insight, nor is it intelligent. It's comment that could have been made by a rabid Williams geek here on the board. Bilbo and SafeUnderHill 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KK 3,307 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 For a man of Pope's caliber, that did seem like a peculiar professional mis-step. SafeUnderHill 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Penna 3,684 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 I still don't quite understand what he meant by that. It does come off to me as some indication that he thinks less of Shore's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkgyver 1,645 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 It's also worth noting that he stresses how it's a job, and you do what you're asked to do. He acts like if Alain Ducasse was asked to cook a burger. Barnald 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
