Lewya 360 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I just found this. Ryuichi Sakamoto said that his top 7 favourite film composers of all time are (in no order): Alex North, Toru Takemitsu, Bernard Herrmann, Leonard Rosenman, Ennio Morricone, Georges Delerue and Nino Rota. That is his film music pantheon in terms of which composers. He said that he idolizes these 7 film composers. He included most of his top 7 favourite film composers in his top 10 soundtracks of all time, the only two which he didn't include are Bernard Herrmann and Georges Delerue, all of the others of his favourite film composers of all time are included. Ryuichi Sakamoto's top 10 soundtracks of all time (in no order): Stalker, Solaris, Mirror - Eduard Artemyev Nostalghia (a concert work inspired by the Tarkovsky film) - Toru Takemitsu Shochiku 120th Anniversary Soundtrack Collection (compilation) - Numerous composers ranging from Toru Takemitsu to Joe Hisaishi Yojimbo - Masaru Sato Seven Samurai - Fumio Hayasaka Fellini and Rota (compilation) - Nino Rota Once Upon a Time in the West - Ennio Morricone A Streetcar Named Desire - Alex North Beneath the Planet of the Apes - Leonard Rosenman Solaris - Cliff Martinez I agree with most of his top 10, the only two that I can't get into as much is Seven Samurai and Yojimbo (not counting the Takemitsu concert work which is technically not film music), but I will have tor reconsider them seeing how highly Sakamoto thinks of these two scores.

AC1 2458 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 I have Goldsmith's Planet Of The Apes but not Rosenman's Beneath The Planet Of The Apes. Is the latter the superior score? Link to post Share on other sites
AC1 2458 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 Also, Solaris, I have it, but top 10 of all time? I would like to hear the motivation behind this. Link to post Share on other sites

AC1 2458 Posted May 2, 2020 Share Posted May 2, 2020 The George Clooney one. Sure, it's nice, but brilliant? Link to post Share on other sites
