    Ummm... no. CutThroat Island still holds the the title of greatest score ever composed by Debney and also holds the title as one of the greatest film score of all time!

    I agree that it's outstanding. But the way i see it, it's just a little step behind POTC.

    That's just absolutely ABSURD! Ban him! Ban him now! Wait... ban yourself! You canNOT be serious? Step behind POTC? Have you lost your marbles? Badelt and Zimmer wish they could write music half as good as CutThroat!

    I loved the POTC gag. Made my day (I HATE the pointless use of acronyms so that was an added bonus)
    No, I meant the
    BTW, CutThroat is only a step behind a few scores... The Star Wars Trilogy and the Indiana Jones Trilogy... yup, that's about it!
    part, as most everyone will have a pretty personal list of "eternal masterpieces" to follow the -pretty unassailable- Williams pieces you mentioned. I, for one, would place a lot of Rozsa and Poledouris over CutThroat Island.
    Anyway, the comment wasn't to be taken too seriously.

    I dearly love the CutThroat Island score...and in fact, it's WAY too long since I played it.
    And I'm in the mood for a piratey score!

    And it wasn't... no worries!

    NP: The Thief of Bagdad - Miklos Rozsa

    Not very familiar with this score. I'm listening to the Elmer Bernstein conducted version which is part of the Elmer Bernstein Box Set. Is it just me or does this particular performance sound lethargic and uninspired! There's no energy!

    Mmmmm... you know, the problem is that this is SUCH a personal favourite of mine that I almost automatically fall into a kneejerk defensive mode when anyone says ANYTHING not glowingly positive about it.

    Including this one, I have three recordings of the score (two of which being suites conducted by Rozsa himself), and though it honestly pains me to say so -especially as there IS no alternative for a ful score, and Bernstein did SUCH a BRILLIANT job with his film music collection- , sadly you are right that it's not as vibrant as it could be (though 'lethargic' and 'uninspired' are way too harsh in my opinion!), especially in comparing the score to the Rozsa suites.

    That said, I'd still unhesitatingly recommend this score to anyone: it's one of Rozsa's very finest scores and a classic example of how an Arabian fairytale should be scored, with SUCH a marvellous wealth of themes and tunes. Even with the -noticeably- smaller orchestra it so very much worth the listen. I return to it frequently.

    It just that after listening to something like Broughton's Ivanhoe recording, Tadlow's El Cid, the Miklos Rozsa conducts His Great Film Music recording and even Kunzels Three Choral Suites... Bernstein's recording just seems... flat. Maybe it was the limited size of the orchestra but I don't feel the energy coming from the orchestra that I should. But the score is indeed fabulous!

    EDIT - Just got to the "The Skeleton Room/Duel With The Spider/The Return" portion of the album and the orchestra finally wakes up! Great piece!!!

    You're definitely not alone: I have read and heard many reviews making the exact same point.

    JOHN DEBNEY - Passion of the Christ

    By far the most outstanding work Debney has ever produced. Together with the PASSION OF THE CHRIST symphony, these 2 works are way beyond the usual standards of quality for modern film music. Two spectacular, excellently-built and performed works of pure emotion. Sad thing is that day by day Debney proves that he most possibly won't ever be able to surpass himself in these 2. As long as they exist though, who cares wink



    I agree, although I´d add some other works by him to the list (Cutthroat Island, Lair or Dragonfly).
    What I really can´t wait is his new wcore, Soraya M. It looks like an extension of his work for The Passion. I don´t usually like listening to clips, but I´ve made an exception in this case and I´ve listened the clips of Debney´s site dozen of times. Please release, please release.....



    It's pretty good; but will it be released ?


    I REALLY hope so. If the clips are representative of how the score is (I assume they are), then my expectations are very high.

    ELIA CMIRAL - splinter

    If you like piercingly dark, standard modern horror writing which goes on and on in the same vein (i.e. loud brass and percussion cuts and hits and screeching strings along with electronics) then you'll love that. Otherwise it will freak you out; like it happened with Bregt.

    KLAUS BADELT - pour elle

    Low key, smooth and fragile piano leads via melancholic melodies, string orchestra dominates and escorts through smooth electronic veil and soft beats here and there but without sounding too synthetic. Modern, urban-esque, off-tone and ambient. Nothing special but makes for a pleasant, background listening experience for anyone into this sort of music.

    Np: the 'burbs -Jerry Goldsmith

    Bloody brilliant. IMHO, the best score for a Joe Dante film and one of the composers finest. Easily one of the most unique and creative score ever written by the Maestro. I love every friggin' minute of the Varese Deluxe Edition.
