mstrox 6,643 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I've never heard any Monsignor before (save, maybe, a Prague Philharmonic track, if they did one). I've listened to the OST presentation twice, and really enjoy it! While my preferences lie with adventure scores, this stands taller than most of Williams' lighter drama and comedy scores. I'm very happy to have it! Excited to crack into the slightly longer version on the second half of the disc sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holko 9,499 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 A quick comparison spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11L23-36DTED-v4DnPirD2eS--Ely-BmfkxN-jSwqyPc/edit?usp=sharing Not much info since I couldn't find a cue list, but I assume Mike didn't diverge much from the original names for the film score program. I also won't put myself through the film just to confirm chronology. So far I much prefer the OST program with the fantastic Meeting in Sicily (even if its mood of grand jollity is a bit of a departure from the score itself) and the ending - At the Forum is simply a great piece, and Apollini's Mistake is weak as hell as a penultimate cue. Film also gets a bit repetitive with additional straight main theme statements like You're My Mystery (worth it for that harp finale) and Love Theme. I think I do prefer the film mix of Gloria - choir is less harsh and the organ gels better with the rest, the sudden entrances are less jarring. The Vatican is a very nice different bit. The Book Shop is lovely with its cello (?) opening and continues to be just different enough to really stand out. End Title has that nice trumpet solo plus strings overtaking it opening, but not a fan of the hurried and at sometimes almost sloppy main theme statement. I guess I'll whip up some sort of extended OST for my phone. Smeltington 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mstrox 6,643 Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I, too, preferred the OST treatment. When I listened to the film version, I read the Wikipedia article on the plot of the movie, so I can kind of follow it, but it doesn't lend itself to a particularly good listening experience.

The two are completely different mixes. The film presentation presents a stereo version of the 3-channel mixes they prepared for the film, which never ended up getting a 3-channel release, it was only released in mono. For the OST LP, they made a completely different mix of the cues they decided to include along with the new concert arrangements recorded. So that's why this release presents both, and why the film program comes from one element and the OST LP program comes from another. It wouldn't have made any sense for MM to "rebuild" the OST LP like he often does for releases, it makes more sense to use the OST master they made in 1982 because it was a unique mix not available anywhere else. I prefer the OST mix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artguy360 1,843 Posted August 8, 2019 Share Posted August 8, 2019 Do folks like the main theme for this film? I feel like it is almost comically bad and one of the worst in JW's career. It just sounds like an imitation of the Godfather theme but as translated thru JW's musical sensibilities. filmmusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay 37,281 Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 Hey Monsignor fans! Check out the latest episode of Maurizio Caschetto's great Legacy of John Williams podcast: https://thelegacyofjohnwilliams.com/2019/12/11/mike-matessino-podcast-disaster-soundtrack-collection/ Despite being titled after the Disaster Collection, it actually begins, after an introduction, with a nice bit of discussion about the 2019 Intrada release of Monsignor! The discussion is peppered with nice lengthy selections from the new album as well, so if you were looking to hear more of the album before purchasing, here's your place to do so! The Monsignor portion of the episode runs from around 6:30 to around 27:30 and in addition to some great clips, you can hear Mike talk about how he discovered that the film was supposed to have a Stereo release but was pushed forward at the minute and only released in mono, leaving the stereo mixes of the score that had been prepared essentially unheard for 35+ years until Mike found them, how the entire album was a completely different mix, and more! Check it out! Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crumbs 14,300 Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 Ummm, what the hell? Monsignor is now listed as SOLD OUT on Intrada's website, with no warning or notice. Last week it was listed as temporarily out of stock awaiting a new shipment: So it's OOP barely a year post-release?! Shit news if true; I held off on purchasing in the hope another JW score would land at Intrada. Typical that once WOTW drops, this is no longer available.

Bespin 8,475 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 These limited releases are a hack. First, labels create a false sense of emergency to hurry us to buy the new releases (IT'S LIMITED, HURRY UP!), then they always print less copies than the actual limit they set by contract, just to perodically tell us they are "temporarily" out of stock. And finally, now plenty of sellers on the web buy several copies of these limited releases... especially to sell them at a higher price when they finally go OOP. Yes really, it's a hack how this niche market has evolved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjimwilson 252 Posted October 19, 2020 Share Posted October 19, 2020 People buying multiple copies to sell on for profit are always going to be a problem in any small market where there's a collectible side to things. But I hardly think we can blame the labels for printing up small runs at a time. It's just how it's done. I imagine for both financial and practical storage reasons amongst others. Nothing wrong with it at all. Intrada just updated the site wrong in this case. It now says it'll be reprinted but they can't say when right now. Hardy surprising given the year's events.
