- discussion topic THOMAS NEWMAN
- Comment Will be interesting to read - will it be published on your blog? I always found Shawshank Redemption a bit too dark for my taste and therefore never bought it, but I still find that there might be a hole in my collection where a copy of this should be. If this expanded release is worth it, I might ...

- discussion topic Why Can't I Accept Today's Music?
- Comment Personally, I have not had the time lately to keep updated on what's coming out, so I find myself returning to the collection and enjoying older scores instead of buying new ones. And I find that i have a tendency to choose mainly golden age scores, Williams, Horner, Goldsmith and of course Kamen. ...

- Comment NP: [b]Troy [/b]- [i]Gabriel Yared[/i] How I wish that the film would have been as good as this score seems to indicate... I guess that this score perhaps is "larger" than the finished Troy film actually became - and Horner's score might be more in sync with the finished film, perhaps... ...

- Comment NP: [b]A Wartime Sketchbook [/b]- [i]Sir William Walton[/i] A Walton work I had not heard before (from what I understand drawn from film scores and arranged by Christopher Palmer). As always with Walton, it is very classical in style. Some really beautiful moments, and some dramatic weight, ...

- Comment Personally, I am quite keen on his work - [b]Richard III[/b], [b]Hamlet [/b]and [b]Henry V[/b] are all among the music I listen to quite regularly. His grand marches [b]Crown Imperial [/b]and [b]Orb and Spectre [/b]are in my opinion among the finest works of their kind, and I also find his larger ...

- discussion topic TADLOW FILM MUSIC SPECTACULAR
- Comment Wholeheartedly recommended. I have most of the Tadlow/Prometheus re-recordings and find them to be of excellent quality. [b]Conan [/b]was a huge favour to all of us, surely, and I don't think that [b]Fall of the Roman Empire [/b]has been recorded with such awe before. And then we have [b]El ...

- Comment I for one am on the other hand enjoying much of Davis' work immensely - especially his works on [b]Napoleon [/b]and [b]Ben-Hur [/b]. There is something about his masterful treatment of the orchestral colours as well as his capability of writing in different styles that has impressed me since the ...

- discussion topic JERRY GOLDSMITH
- Comment [b]First Contact[/b] is indeed a great score. Will have to ponder though if it is worth it since I own the old OST release. Maybe. But there are other score higher up on the "to get" list - the expanded [b]First Knight[/b], among other things.

- Comment Hm. Is another Ben Hur necessary? How much unreleased material can there be - and how much room for improvement on the already released material is there? I have two releases and feel quite satisfied - a waste of one of the last FSM releases, if you ask me.

- Comment NP: [i]Robert Schumann [/i]- [b]Symphony no 4, D minor[/b] I have been listening quite a bit to Schumann lately - I never did much before, and even though I have played some of his works in the orchestra, I've never really warmed up to him... maybe because his music is quite cumbersome to play for ...

- Comment Listening to the clips from [b]Back to Gaya[/b] - will purchase it very soon. It is quite incredible how much this moves me. As some of you might remember I am quite partial to Kamen's music, and this, it's like a voice from heaven! First time I heard the strains of the main title, it almost ...

- Comment Reached the [b]Soul Surfer [/b]segment of the program now... and judging by Erik's suite this is nothing short of [i]magnificent[/i]. I am enjoying the lighter moments, the "ethnic" components and the very well crafted orchestrations immensely. Deeply moved. Indeed.

Indeed there is no grand theme that stands out here, but such energy there is in this music! [i]That[/i] really is the work of master, when interest is kept at high level like this mainly ...

It highlights some of the [i]many[/i] scores I have not listened to in some time. Of the fifteen scores featured, I have ten in my collection - but I find, a bit surprised, that much ...

- Comment I am quite thrilled about the involvement of Eric Whitacre in the latest Pirates score, I must say. I am familiar with some of Whitacre's choral works, and I really look forward to hear what he can bring to a Zimmer score. He is very skilled in dealing with the choral sonorities.
