Holko 9,499 Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 The Land Race in-film never sat right with me, I felt the edit missed sync points and wasn't mixed that well. So here's an iso restoration for just that! I had to slow a slowmo shot further down, I reordered 5 shots, and included a single black screen. mahler3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jurassic Shark 12,029 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 I like the OST, although it's kind of overlong. I've been busy moving and haven't listened to the expansion yet, even though I purchased two copies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Aye, I remembering preferring the original, as first written openings to The Big Match and Oklahoma Territory more than the Inserts that were recorded to replace them with different music. I'm glad in both case Johnny's original version is the one in the main program I think for John Sr's Passing I prefer the original ending over the revised ending too, but it's been a while and I don't remember exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smeltington 1,436 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The main program is a great listen. With no need to create my own edit, I enjoy playing the actual discs on this release.

Bespin 8,479 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 The OST offers a lighter program, wich suits well the lyricism of the main themes written by Williams. In the other hand, the score contains darker parts, which can appear "uncalled". Well, that's... a score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Faleel 5,339 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 I think I prefer the alt of Big Match, as it feels more unified using that action theme for the opening, instead of all the other themes (which is also good, don't misunderstand me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brundlefly 2,385 Posted November 21, 2021 Share Posted November 21, 2021 Tried it again and my final conclusion: the meh score of the decade. Very generic writing, sugary atmosphere, nothing special at all. I love the Williams years 1991 with Hook and JFK as well as 1993 with Jurassic Park and Schindler's List, but 1992... must be the least interesting year he has had.

I love the score, but I get this sort of reaction to it. I think I am a sucker for the fully orchestrated and sustained "dance" music, which we do not get too much with Williams--Devil's Dance and this (well, Swing, Swing, Swing, but way to close to the original). The suite is really nice, as it features both such themes. But the main pastoral theme is good, but not great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay 37,287 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Today I discovered a nice arrangement of the film's themes I hadn't heard before! OK, I technically had, but forgot about it until today. It's John Williams conducting the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra, for the 1997 album "Cinema Serenade". Check it out! Sony also put this recording on the "Greatest Hits 1969 - 1999" album Dr. Rick and Tom Guernsey 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuartalHarmony 542 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Aw, c’mon, I’d just about made my peace with not buying the expanded F&A and then this happens. Can I consider $25 for something I’d previously decided I neither wanted nor needed as a charitable donation to a worthy cause? If so, will it make the definitive Hook expansion more likely?

Popular Post GerateWohl 4,336 Posted July 6, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2022 By the way. Originally I was not so interested in this score, since I am not that much into irish folk music. But it is really a wonderful John Williams score and the two disc edition is great. Meanwhile the love theme is one of my favourites of Williams'. So, from my side a big recommendation to get it.
