Naïve Old Fart 9,527 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 The LADY JANE "The Hunt" is great. The THE FINAL CONFLICT "The Hunt" is "fuck off" brilliant!!!! Absolutely no contest, whatsoever. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,074 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I find JG's The Hunt to be very good, especially in its first half, but the last minute the piece just dwindles away instead of giving us the grandiose ending that it calls for. 6 hours ago, Marian Schedenig said: http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/ That explains why I didn't see it!

Naïve Old Fart 9,527 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 The "grandiose ending" happens on THE BLOODING REEL. Jerry scores both scenes perfectly. The music as Thorn travels by helicopter, to a meet, is stunning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That happens in both Goldsmith "The Hunt"-tracks and it works great. Not every piece needs a big orchestral climax. I wish Williams would realize that when writing his orchestral arrangements.

Brundlefly 2,385 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 But the threatening and reflective ending is better. It is very often a good idea to favour emotional resonance over musical virtuosity - that is why Goldsmith is so good. Yavar Moradi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,074 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Better than an ending that was never heard nor written? A grandiose ending can also be emotional, and doesn't have to be virtuosic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,074 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 To me, that's the kind of music that's the most enticing. For example, Shore's score to TTT was much more interesting before it was written. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now...put on TFC, choose THE HUNT, close your eyes, and get carried away with two tracks (or one long track, if you prefer) of brilliance, with just about the most grandiose of grandiose endings that you can imagine.

I really don't like his orchestral arrangement of "Face of the Pan", where he steals the tender and soft identity from the film cue by blowing the whole thing up to a faceless concert hall paradigm.

Popular Post Demondm810 399 Posted July 31, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 31, 2019 Having never owned any of these scores prior, but only being familiar with them, I can say I am completely satisfied. It’s amazing the quality of sound they were able to achieve from a film in the 60’s. It sounds so clear, the bass has such depth. I forget how amazing and “other worldly” the first score really is. I’m with Jay, I hope this sells well for them. Even though I’m not a die hard fan to these scores as I would be others, the significance of the achievement in bringing them all together and in such a great package is undeniable.

crocodile 8,012 Posted August 1, 2019 Share Posted August 1, 2019 My is due to be delivered today but nobody will be there. In the worse case scenario, I'll have it by tomorrow afternoon. Can't wait, I really enjoy the two Goldsmith scores and the first Rosenman one. This might not be the most "crowd-pleasing" music but it is certainly a landmark in film music history and I consider it just as much of an event as Potter or JP sets.

Popular Post crocodile 8,012 Posted August 2, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 2, 2019 I only managed to get through the big booklet and first CD last night. In terms of sound it's wonderful and miles ahead of the old 1997 disc (which was good for its time). It actually sounds like a brand new score now and certainly not like something that's 51 years old! The set looks very nice as well. They took a similar approach as the HP set where the main booklet gives tracks listing, slate numbers, lots of pictures and brief overview of the music and album history by Mike Matessino and each jewel case has its one generous booklet with Jeff Bond's analysis of each score. Can't wait to dive deep into the other four scores and booklets over the weekend.

I've now given it a try, but I really don't think that the two tracks combined work as one piece with a unifying arc. It's like one piece followed by another.
