    Don't let all the Giacchino/Powell/etc. threads deter you...

    ...Glad to see you here.


    Thanks, Thor, for continuing the welcome.

    A real hard one for me is the fact that I had a Golden Scores website but it was pretty much a failure. Some of that had to do with the fact that I had a dependence on someone else to upload material. There just wasn't a lot of interest. No one from FSM helped much. Someday it might reappear with a little help.

    Yes, very unfortunate that.

    The lack of interest in Golden Age/1950s scores also affects CD sales and hampers the number of future albums planned for release.

    FSM gave us two 1958 scores by Van Cleave ("Space Children"/"Colossus"), but will there be anything from the 1950s during their final wind-down in production?
    Happily, Kritzerland continues to bless the market with vintage soundtracks ("Men In War").

    The most prominent labels remaining have dwindled their Golden Age output.
    Intrada hasn't released a 1950s title since their "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea".
    And Varese Sarabande, if one doesn't count their boxsets and Herrmann-related releases, hasn't issued a regular single-disc Golden Age title since presenting us with Alfred Newman's "President's Lady" and a re-issue of the Decca LP on Franz Waxman's "Crime In The Streets"...

    ... by, say, year 2017, the music of Richard Rodney Bennett will be Golden Age as well.

    Nevertheless I do want to start it up again. Any help from you would be greatly appreciated. You can pm me. I think Bregt will help a little bit also and perhaps Anthony.

    Came across a CD of Bennett orchestral works I'd forgotten about. Reflections of a Scottish Folk Song is quite nice as it is for cello and orchestra.

    Still listening to the Bennett off and on. Partita is a wonderful modern sounding piece with a touch of Shostakovich dissonance I like.
