Unless La La Land has something truly spectacular in the Black Friday offerings this is the Williams release of the year. @kaseykockroach reported similar issues; don't remember the track he mentioned. 34 minutes ago, Bespin said: Chose an avatar or shut up.

Popular Post Seth 67 Posted November 16, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 16, 2018 In any case, it seems like there was just a bit of fuzz on the playing surface. So the disc appears to be fine. Some random observations--This score really is a bit unique in his work; I think it's wrong to call it a horror score, though there are elements that could fairly be called that. I think this might be the best performance he got from the London Symphony in those years; it's near the top, at any rate. The brass and low strings are the standouts for me. The orchestra just sounds huge on the remaster. I wouldn't imagine it was exceptionally large in actuality, but it sounds absolutely massive here and I love it. I'm continually amazed, listening to Williams' scores from 77-83 (or 84, depending on how much mileage you get out of Temple of Doom--I'm not that fond of it), at the amount of clarity and attention to detail in his orchestrations. The monothematic approach is obviously unique when compared to something like the Star Wars trilogy or Superman, but he does so many things with the theme that it doesn't ever get tiresome or boring. I don't know if this makes sense or not, but I think Dracula helps shed some light on how he got from Star Wars to Empire, compositionally speaking. Anyway, those are just some thoughts after playing it through a couple of times. I have no doubt that it will reward repeated hearings. Everyone involved should be pleased with their work here, as it's a pretty spectacular release. crumbs, Jay and Incanus 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy 4,092 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 Anyone else have red lines across the black and white photographs in the booklet? An artistic choice or printing defect?

mstrox 6,647 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I didn't see those problems. Sounds like a printer issue. The liner notes were nice, although I'm not sure they warranted a second book. There are a ton of pictures, the print is huge and spread out. It all could have fit into a standard booklet for sure.

karelm 2,903 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Listening now, wow, this music is so gorgeous! Makes me almost what to see the film. I hear a tip of the hat to Herrmann in quite a few places yet firmly JW. For example, close voicing in the expanded low winds is very Herrmannesque. Also lots of sequences (repetitions of motifs that are modulated). It's a beautiful and operatic score. I would say more lyrical than Star Wars, Close Encounters. Almost every few seconds repeats a motif but arranged beautifully and still developing. Star Wars, CEOTK, etc., have many moments of aural texture. It is still firmly routed in JW's vernacular.

Taikomochi 1,136 Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 The music is very prominent in the film, and one of Williams’ most effective in-film. It’s an interesting take on Dracula too. This is a case where I’d strongly recommend seeing the film to compare the score against. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
