(because the other are)Thanks for comments Link to post Share on other sites
King Mark 2642 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 I dunno.I've seen it in stores but I fear it's some cheap synth re-recording.There's a LotR set too.k.M. Link to post Share on other sites
Bart 0 Posted January 3, 2006 Share Posted January 3, 2006 Well, judging on the samples, it's not synth. Link to post Share on other sites

BLUMENKOHL 1044 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 European iTunes I believe? Link to post Share on other sites
King Mark 2642 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I wish I could hear one clip.that would make an instant decision if I'm buying it.K..m. Link to post Share on other sites
Damo 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I think this CD Album could be a compilation CD. Link to post Share on other sites
Bart 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 No... It sounds like a new recording... I think I have seen it in the Free Record Shop, I'll try today to look at it and give you guys some more information. Link to post Share on other sites
Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Could it be The City of Prague Philharmonic? They release thru Silva Screen... Link to post Share on other sites
publicist 3799 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 It's on iTunes and it's a Silva-Sampler, so you can bet on a Prague recording.The only thing of interest is a 2:25-piece called 'Nimbus 2000'. The rest is easily available on the score cd's. Link to post Share on other sites
The Big Man 7249 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Egh. Safe bet this'll be really crappy. Link to post Share on other sites
chs058 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 The trackMischief Managed / A Window to the Past / Buckbeak's Flight (Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) 6:58is a quite nice arrangement. Link to post Share on other sites
The_Trout 2 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 If it's SilvaScreen and Prague, then it'll be pretty much the OPPOSITE of crappy. Then again, I'm a big fan of their releases.Still, this is just a comp of music largely available elsewhere, but if this IS the first official release of Nimbus 2000, then it's probably worth at least getting that track off of iTunes.

Yoda Longbottom 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 If it's Silva's with COPF, I will probably get it. Some score tracks they did in the past are excellent additions to the originals. Did you hear the Indiana Jones Trilogy album? Link to post Share on other sites
jon614 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Is this CD only sold in Europe?Has this CD even been released yet? because, like I said, I can't find it anywhere....-Jon Link to post Share on other sites
chs058 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 I found it in the itunes store (Switzerland). Could not find it somewhere else. Quality is quite good, Nimus 2000 rather a little too slow. Link to post Share on other sites
batmanand 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Listening to the sample on iTunes in the UK:Harry's Wondrous World: a little dead for me, prefer the HP:PS recordingNimbus 2000: exciting that it is finally being recorded, but as chs058 said it is a little slow and ponderousFawkes the Phoenix: lacks magic, woodwind is not as good as original on COS OSTDobby the House Elf: quite nice performance, if again a little slowThe Chamber of Secrets: a more mysterious, less menacing take on the piece. Interesting, although I still prefer the OST versionGilderoy Lockhart: No Ticket has never sounded so good...Mischief Managed/Window to the Past/Buckbeak's Flight: could only hear a bit, but sounded quite nice and "fun"Hedwig's Theme: again, more emphasis on mystery than magic. Not as good as on OSTOverall, advice would be to get Nimbus 2000 only. 6/10 (at least they used an orchestra) Link to post Share on other sites
King Mark 2642 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Sounds good enough for me to possibly get this.K.M. Link to post Share on other sites
King Mark 2642 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Well What I saw was actually a 3 c.d. set(in slim cases) titled The Harry Potter Collection.Performed by MASK.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002F4SL...v=glance&n=5174No idea what this might sound like.Anyone has this?K.M.

Ray Barnsbury 6 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I've seen that too...I'm pretty sure they're electronic/synthesized renditions.I listened to those clips at the UK iTunes store, and they're kind of interesting. Besides there being a glaring lack of bass in "Fawkes the Phoenix," the performances sound good, and it'd be especially nice to finally have "Nimbus 2000" and an alternative performance of the PoA selections.Ray Barnsbury Link to post Share on other sites
chs058 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 Performed by Mask definitifely is synth crap keep your finger from that. Might be that i have one ore two CD's from them and after the listening of the first 10 seconds removed them from my mind.Right now I'm interested in knowing if the recently released albums by a "Global Stage Orchestra" is synth crap too or real music.

David Vincent 2 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 I have the album King Mark is talking, and it is relly out of interest.I made better MIDI files by myself.But I am interested by the new compilation if it is made by a real orchestra. Link to post Share on other sites
chs058 0 Posted January 6, 2006 Author Share Posted January 6, 2006 it is areal orchestra, PM me if you can't afford the traks from i-tunes or they are not available in your store. Link to post Share on other sites

David Vincent 2 Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 I have written to Silva Screen and they told me this album is only available on iTunes for the moment but will be released on CD next March including more tracks Link to post Share on other sites
chs058 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 Thanks for that info , will be a must have, especially when the other Childrens suite tracks are recorded! Link to post Share on other sites
tony69 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 strange, i swear i saw this at hmv before. Link to post Share on other sites
Miguel Andrade 766 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 The album is out -- at least in the US: Music form Harry PotterThe additional tracks (7 in all) that weren't in the iTunes store are taken from Doyle's score. Link to post Share on other sites
pixie_twinkle 37 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Isn't Nimbus 2000 on any of the score CDs??? I don't have my Philososopher's Stone CD with me so I can't check. Surely the theme is integrated into other tracks. Link to post Share on other sites
batmanand 0 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 As far as I know, the Concert Version of Nimbus 2000 is officially unreleased except for this CD. Link to post Share on other sites
Jack 23 Posted March 10, 2006 Share Posted March 10, 2006 Performance is OK..They've added a load of fake reverb though (way too much).. Well, either that or the orchestra were sitting in an arena LOL Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Barnsbury 6 Posted March 11, 2006 Share Posted March 11, 2006 This is definitely on my list now. I love hearing new performances of already established themes and pieces, and the releases of "Nimbus 2000" and the PoA suite are exciting. There seem to be a few too many GoF pieces, but I'm looking forward to hearing some of them, like "Hogwarts' Hymn" and the waltzes.Ray Barnsbury Link to post Share on other sites
