A very good cross selection of composers there Lars, I always say quality over quantity.

Yeah, I usually try to buy only music that I like. But in the case of Williams, Goldsmith, Elfman I must admit, that I've bought stuff that I didn't necessarily like, just for the sake of expanding the collection.

When I was younger, I was also getting every score available (or even not), just to have heard and have everything of its composer.
Lately, that's not possible anymore (due to the enormous wealth of material that gets released nowadays), and the fact most of it is mediocre crap
So, better to get what you really want, than to have everything just to have ... everythingwaaaaaahhhhhhhh!!! Where's my nut? arrrghhhhhhh -

You have some collection there, Jon. I'm surprised that you have more by David Newman than by Thomas Newman. I can't imagine having 50 scores by one composer, much less all the guys you just listed. -

I've fallen into that trap myself some 8-9 years ago, but I'm pacing myself now, which is far more enjoyable in long run!'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

I used to maintain an Excel sheet when my collection was at 600 or so. I haven't updated it in the last couple of years and I think my collection has more than doubled. I'd reckon that I might have about 90 Morricone, 30 John Scott, 25 Delerue, 25 Donaggio. And beyond that I probably have a uniform distribution of Kilar, Talgorn, Frisina, Desplat, Armand Amar. Of course, there's a considerable spread with numerous obscure scores.
Just got a friend to help me with the Excel stuff so here it is for the old file-
Morricone, Ennio 94
Scott, John 33
Delerue, Georges 24
Rahman, AR 22
Donaggio, Pino 19
Barry, John 17
Goldsmith, Jerry 13
Kilar, Wojciech 13
North, Alex 13
Frisina, Marco 12
Wiseman, Debbie 9
Bernstein, Elmer 8
Broughton, Bruce 8
Kaczmarek, Jan A.P 8
Yared, Gabriel 8
Waxman, Franz 7
Guerra, Andrea 7
Piersanti, Franco 7
Rozsa, Miklos 6
Conti, Bill 5
Crivelli, Carlo 5
Young, Christopher 5
The crazy stat is that about 150 (=25%) of them are by composers of whom I have only 1 cd each.

Maybe a little more than that since the list is 2 years old. It's just that I've heard a lot of Williams on SST and his scores will always be available so I can get them later. It's more exciting to find new scores by lesser known composers than safe buys like a JW score.
