- discussion topic Movie/TV/Game Scores Through The Ages - Alan's Personal Favourites
- Comment I agree that many of the classical "greats" such as the Barber Adagio, Orff's O Fortuna, Mozart's Symphony no. 40, etc. have a tendency to be overused and thereby lose some of their dramatic impact. But to me they still (for the most part) remain excellent pieces and if it is good music, ...

- discussion topic ALEXANDRE DESPLAT
- Comment ...and I had [i]completely[/i] missed that Desplat was doing Harry Potter! Have I been living under a rock? It will be a sure purchase for me though since I have all the other six scores - the completist vein speaks strongly to me in this matter. :)

- Comment Much has happened in terms of new releases these past months... I have had so much to do these months with a new job and a lot of other things that I haven't even given myself time to look around the forum. Thus, the amount of score purchases has been terribly small. It looks though like the coming ...

- Comment Great Three Musketeers suite, Erik. You have truly captured many of the finest moments in the score. As some of you might remember this is one of my favourite scores and one that I still listen to quite often. I really enjoyed to hear it in a slightly altered form. :)

- Comment A better release of North's Spartacus really would be a treat. Would be a sure purchase for me, I am quite fond of North as some of you might recall. Really nice brass work in that score. And the love theme of course - lovely as often is the case with North.

- Comment Can't really decide on this one. It was quite some time since I bought anything now and I am thinking about including it in my next purchase. Will need to sample it more though, only got as far as the first track, and that wasn't really something that rocked my world, so to speak. :)

I find this ...

The few mistakes is really nothing and just proves the point I have been trying to make before in other situations: a passionate recording with an understanding for the ...

I have the earlier Naxos recording (with Vera Tsu and the Razumovsky Symphony) and I was never really satisfied with Tsu's technichally quite good but rather unpowerful reading of the very exhuberant ...
