  1. The Scarlet Letter - John Barry

    Just gorgeous, Barry in his super romantic mode. It may be a little too much romantic and soft for some, especially during the first half, however the second half shows some typical suspense and action music, not too dissimilar from Dances With Wolves. I also adore the choral version of Barber's 'Adagio for Strings' which is brilliantly performed. The Scarlet Letter is a wonderful and incredibly soothing experience. I need something like this from time to time to remind me what film music is about: that certain sort of melodies that sticks in your head long after you've seen the film. Except here I never saw the film, which is supposed to be a turkey. How can that be with such a score?

    San Pietro - Marco Frisina

    A delight from start to finish. Sweeping and lyrical themes with orchestra and chorus. The usual high quality by Frisina.

    Wind Man - Yury Poteyenko

    Ever since I doscovered this man's work on Sea Dogs 3: Caribbean Tales, I am taking an interest in his output (which is concentrated on the independent Russian KeepMoving Records label). This score, another fine one, to a Russian film I do not know, is a slightly mournful work (as these eastern European works tend to be), with a very soulful allure: melodic throughout with lovely small combo ochestration. I'm really impressed by this composer: every bar simply exudes professionalism: this man knows what he is doing, what he is writing, and what effect is intended to the listener.

    Just now, I have purchased some more of his work (including the original Sea Dogs score), and I look forward to those immensely!

    No, it's not a great film but it's also not that bad. The score is lovely!

    It leaves one drenched in emotion by the time you get to the end. Top work but I would have liked it to be a shorter presentation.

    Aida degli alberi - Ennio Morricone

    A rare movie type for the Maestro: animation. Of course he does it flawlessly. A very good score with the usual emotional Morricone themes and some playful but short tracks. I even love the songs - why not? They were also written by Morricone.

    You'll find I think that the proper plural of any word ending in -y is for it to change to -ies.
    I'm assuming the same applies to proper names.

    I'd double check the grammar on that one. I think Tim might be right.

    I assume Tim has enough Barries in his collection to know what he's talking about.

    Now that I think about it, how many Elfmen do you have Martijn?

  13. "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier"
    Jerry Goldsmith

    Those damn threads where it was mentioned supposeldy rumor were an expanded edition might be in the works, got me thinking about the score so much I just couldn't hold out any longer and had to pop it in.
    One of my personal favorite scores, and I like to think one of Jerry's best.



    Next up: "Stargate: The Ark of Truth" (Joel Goldsmith)

    I love it too, I rate it just below TMP. That uplifting ethereal theme right after the Trek theme always gets to me.

    Nah! it has a couple of good tracks but it suffers of too many ideas into a 40 minutes realease

    "God's theme" is particuraly annoying (those synths... crazy )

    Give me Insurrection and First Contact any day.

    NP: Star Trek V (Goldsmith)

    tongue

    The 2 action tracks rocks!

    Why I had to see the movie???? crazy crazy crazy

    I'd rather have too many ideas than too few. rolleyes

    Goldsmith synths you either love or hate. I love 'em and they have their purpose.

    Give me Insurrection and First Contact any day.


    I can relate to that. But I still prefer the melodies of The Final Frontier.

    Green Zone John Powell

    Very enjoyable to have on in the background when you're in the mood. One of Powell's least 'accessible' scores, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

    It's worse than that, he is right.
    While there is some debate, most sources seem to agree that proper names are the exception to the -y/-ies rule, and simply get an -s tagged on at the end.

    For a plural the ending apostroph-s is never, EVER used in ANY circumstance. smile

    NP: Broken Arrow (Hans Zimmer)

    The first score I bought. I remember calling to the music shops asking for this CD.

    When the techno, the electric guitars and the chorus are played together i have several orgasms.

    One of the greats! Brilliant main theme, gorgeous, lyrical love theme, thunderous action... this score needs a remaster and expansion!
