I've described my love for this Delerue score before, but I never had sound clips to show off. Somebody loaded a suite to YouTube, so now I do:

The Great Santini - Elmer Bernstein
Without doubt one of the best releases of 2011. If any composer better exemplifies 'sensitive' dramatic scoring than Bernstein I don't know who it is. Cues like 'Mother and Son', 'Idyll' and 'Birthday Letter' just break your heart. -

I think virtually everybody will agree that it is one of the very best scores ever written.
YES, IT IS!

Yes. Indeed! FACT!

The only thing I like about that score is the theme march, which doesn't really appear in full in the film untill the end credits, if memory serves.I am extremely serious. -

I was very unimpressed by this score, like JNH, Silvestri sounds uninspired these days.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

He does, but you can't really blame him too much. It's the lack of interesting assignments. I'd really like to see him do a more intimate, slow drama of some sort.I am extremely serious. -

IMHO, Captain America is hardly uninteresting. I think that even though the score was sufficiently appropriate and exciting in spots, Alan just doesn't have that deft touch anymore. -

Oh, he should does - listen to A Christmas Carol for one of the finest action cues Silvestri has ever written - unfortunately Silvestri mailed in his score to Captain America (minus the end credits.)

It's this kind of inconsistency that inform my opinion. Here's what all of his score has in common, (CA, The A-Team, Christmas Carol, Beowulf, etc recent scores) a couple of excellent, ball-busting tracks, but everything else has the same been there done that, interchangeability to them, whether it's the orchestration and/or instrumentation choices. It's this sameness that tells me that Alan's tapping a drying well of creativity. I have a very similar complaint about Brian Tyler, but that's for another day. -

Umm... The Christmas Carol is a really good score that sounds NOTHING like the other scores you listed. And Silvestri's scores have always SOUNDED like Silvestri scores, however, I will dock points for the trash that is The A-Team, GI Joe and the majority of Captain America. But Beowulf is a rockin' score from start to finish with some truly inspirational cues of the likes we have never heard before (aka The Seduction)
But I will agree that in the past few years he has come down a notch creatively. I think he needs another Zemeckis project to work on OR here's hoping that Joss Whedon can make Silvestri forget about Captain America and create something more along the lines of Judge Dredd or The Mummy Returns for The Avengers.
Don't get me started on Tyler.

You're right, the only reason Christmas Carol sounded different is because it was for a Christmas/Holiday themed movie, and he tends to works well in that mode, i.e Seredipity, Polar Express. But, I'm saddened when the A-Team/GI Joe/Captain America all trades upon the same sound despite being wholly unique properties. -

That would be the best thing for Alan since he wrote the underrated gem 'Contact', now that is a truly original score.
Bob Zemeckis is among my favourite directors, should he need funding for his next live-action film, he can call me anytime.
But please not another performanced-captured thingamajig starring Jim Hanks, Ray Carrey or Tom Winstone. He has done all he can in that department. I want another REAL sci-fi flick from him."considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

I like Mouse Hunt and Volcano more than it. So perhaps it is in my Silvestri top three after all. I will go and look through the collection to make a final decision. -
