    NP The Tudors - Season Two (Trevor Morris)
    I´ve never watched the series but the music is pretty good, atmospheric although melodic at the same time in the more drama oriented cues. I might give the show a chance!

    One of my all time favourite scores!

    NP:Gladiator (Zimmer).

    A really disjointed score.

    I'm not a great fan of this score. the action music is just annoying (the battle, Barbarian Horde). And What is worst, the succes of this score made Zimmer use Additional composers even when he goes to the bathroom.

    Anyway, there are sublime tracks : "the progeny", "to succhubar", "might of Rome" , "earth", Duduk of the north are an example of what this score could have been!

    NP: Lost (Season 1) - Michael Giacchino

    I haven't played this in such a long time. It's much more vibrant and colorful than the primal scores to the other seasons. cool

    I still love the desert caravan theme regardless of who wrote it. cool
  6. Love Gladiator, everything about it, even the action music !! For me the standard album flows very well.

    If you mean the To Zucchabar piece, it is Zimmer with Gasparyan (the duduk player) improvising over Zimmer's base.

    If you mean the city theme, it's Zimmer's

    Scrobbling trough the Vladimir Cosma box. I'm almost half way. Highlights are the suites that are included at he end of almost each presented score. There's some fabulous material, like the Concerto de Berlin or The Jaguar. Also crap is included, like the aforementioned terror that is called Diva.


    I like Diva tongue cool

  12. The Great Fantasy Adventure Album (Erich Kunzel & Cincinatti Pops)

    Awesome stuff. I really get a kick out of compilations such as these where the orchestra, conductor and the rest of the crew alter the sound of the piece slightly, yet make it sound spectacular in their own way.

    El Cid, Jurassic Park, Robin Hood, Willow, The Abyss, The Rocketeer, Beetlejuice, Wizards and Warriors, Conan the Barbarian, The Hunt for Red October, The Terminator ! They all are brilliantly performed. cool

    KUNZEL ALBUMS ARE AMAZING ! punk punk punk

    I've ordered his 'Epics' album too, which has many more of these fantastic themes. Looking forward to playing it LOUD AS A MUTHAFUCK !!!!!

    I'm enjoying compilations more and more, makes me remember the good old days when film scores were simply exciting and memorable.

    Gladiator is disjointed? You're ill. wink It's evidently along with THE THIN RED LINE (this one especially), two moments in his career that are influential and he doesn't seem to be able to surpass. The third one being BlackHawk Down.

    I agree with Jordi, Gladiator is disjointed, or actually I would say schitzophrenic and no, I'm not ill but I am enjoyably hungover tongue

    It is disjointed. It's a fact. You can like it or not. And of course it was an influential score (How i said, Zimmer kingdom started with this score)

    "progeny", "the battle", "the patricide" , "the mob" and "elissyum" are an example of the 4 diferent kind of orchestrations and sounds, wich doesn't have anything in common between them. The fact there are so many themes doesn't help either. It was the first time Zimmer scored such a BIG movie, and you notice that.

    King arthur is for sure a more simplistic score, but all the tings are blended together perfectly.

    PS:The Thin Red LIne is BOoooooooooooooooring!

    I would replace Black Hawk Down with The Prince of Egypt, but that's just me.


    Gladiator (Hans Zimmer)

    After Kunzel's stunning compilation I was craving for yet more brilliance. Since Jordi made that statement I wanted to check if he's right. confused

    No disjointedness to be found. The album is wonderful with enough moments of reflection in between the louder tracks. One of my favourite Zimmers and Lisa Gerrard's voice adds so much to the feel of it. She is the vocal expression of Maximus' pain and determination.

    I've got through the entire season 2 score as well now. Shortly moving on to season 3, but I'm not looking forward to the drag that is the second CD. True, 2CDs were needed for the season 3 score, but not (almost) C&C scores to the finale episodes.

    Jordi, that is bollocks, especially from someone who rates Scherlock Holmes as highly. wink The whole album flows naturally from one piece to the other, the musical pieces themselves have continuity and Zimmer-trademarked development, they're full of great themes, melodies and passion. Yes it's not the cleverest music out there (but which Zimmer score is it anyway?), yes it can get cheesy and over the top at places, but it fits the movie 100% (i don't know what they say, but i adore this kind of Ridley Scott filmmaking and i am a sucker for Gladiator. I can hardly wait for Robin Hood too, since it looks like Gladiator 2 essentially). On cd, it makes for a very satissfying listening experience and it's a score that has left a very strong mark the modern film music genre, for good or for bad.

    And even I like it, one of the few Zimmer score I can say I genuinely do - so it can't be all bad. wink
  27. I love Gladiator, it's one of my favorite Hans Zimmer scores (and I would kill Jordi for what he said about The Thin Red Line, which is my all-time favorite movie AND score), but I must say that I do find slight disjointedness on the album, maybe because I recognize the classical influence and going from Holst to Gorecki through Wagner is something still of a shock to me.

    But indeed it's a great score.

    A very nice score for an enjoyable film and an even better book! I remember studying at the university and being completly swept away. The score ios a perfect background for the it.

    NP: Inkheart ~ Javier Navarrete
    A fairytalish, bold and sweet but sadly underrated score.

    NP: Romeo & Juliet - Nino Rota

    A breathtaking score for a heartwrenching film.
    Is there anything more evocative than doomed love? Rota surely let the deeply tragic and melancholic fate pervade the joy and happiness of young loves in this superb soundtrack, that may be one of the most stirring that I have.
