    But a Google search (to make sure there wasn't a previous composer, show's the score is done, so this is rather late news:

    The score was recorded at Abbey Road with the LSO at the end of August 2007.
    The views and opinions of Ford A. Thaxton are his own and do not necessarily reflect the ones of ANYONE else.
  2. hmn, this sounds promising, I simply adore Animal Farm (one of the best orchestral scores of 2000) and his Plague and The Moonflower is surely magical too, the description of this one then also makes me wanna get it biggrin

    Any word of a CD release?
    waaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh

    Plague and The Moonflower is very good too although i never fell for Animal Farm; too odd for my tastes wink My single favorite Harvey work though would be the absolutely gorgeous ""Kyrie for the Magdalene" in the DA VINCI CODE soundtrack. Tops 'em all.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Ah, i didn't attack you; sorry it looked like that but then again i didn't place all those emoticons for nothing! wink As for THE ANIMAL FARM, i'll too admit i don't remember it very well; it had some very nice themes in it but some very ODD pieces too, i remember i was so let-down by those; and it hasn't been long since i last played it either. I'll go dig it up and we'll see although i doubt it'll do anything.

    Wonderful composer! Plague And The Moonflower is very, very good. His score for the tv-drama Colditz is pretty good too, with a gorgeous main theme.

  10. Please discover the virtues of Richard Harvey, a composer who deserves more credit. Reviews are now added of his work:

    - Animal Farm
    - Arabian Nights
    - Les Deux Mondes
    - Plague and the Moonflower

    Enjoy

    Good reviews, Thomas.
    Specifically you mirrored my own ambivalence towards Arabian Nights spot on!

    One small side note: The Plague And The Moonflower isn't actually a soundtrack, but an oratorio.

    In light of your praise for Harvey in general, I have no qualms in recommending my own Harvey favourite Luther, a very fine soundtrack with some great explorations into Early Music (echoing the time of its setting), yet still very Romantic in style and feel. A truly enjoyable romp (though again it is very long!)

    The film, incidentally, is shit.

    I love his work on ethnic woodwinds in The Lion King and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. I haven't heard the reviewed scores yet but I'll be checking them out!

    I know about Plague and the Moonflower, I even added it not as movie but as event, but apparently it didn't take it

    I just reviewed it as a soundtrack considering it feels that way

    Anyway, I heard Colditz (wasn't that enthralled by it, despite several awesome tracks) but haven't heard Luther yet

    I think most of us know him as the ethnic woodwind guy on those scores, but be sure to check out his stuff, Les Deux Mondes is awesome and you can't get a better score with all the twists than Animal Farm, my favourite

    Will do! smile
  19. It's somewhat sad that he's more known as a soloist for Hans Zimmer scores than he is for his own accomplished scores.

  20. Recently he has done much more for Harry Gregson-Williams too. Who can forget his solos on Kingdom of Heaven?

    I can't!

    He has his feet in the classical world too. So the composer has many hats. Here is a review of his Concerto Incantato that was performed by Michala Petri.

    http://www.richardharvey.net/News_15.html

    From this review: "The lengthy, five movement work, draws heavily on his background in cinematic music, particularly fantasy and sci-fi soundtracks, oozing walls of warm string harmony and a distinct story-telling quality."

    I hope this will get a CD release!

    I just stumbled on this odd little thing Harvey wrote back in the 70s(?). I like it.
