NP: GOOD WILL HUNTING (Danny Elfman)
Lovely score as it just tingles around with its slightly Irish feel (for some reason).
The film takes place in Boston that's why.
-Erik-
Good point. I had forgotten about that. The bluecollar environment in Boston.
No, because of the large number of Irish Americans living in the city. The basketball team is called the Boston Celtics for a reason.
-Erik-
Yeah, I know. But the film takes place in a working class environment in the city (the Damon part).I am extremely serious. -

Do we know anything about the composers? (Dan Romer and Benh Zietlin - I'd never heard of them before this score).
Benh is also the director of the film. They collaborated earlier on Glory at Sea, which Alan reviewed some time ago.

Thanks! That's a great and insightful review, Alan. I look forward to hearing that music, and watching those short films. -

I suddenly had the idea to make a collection with great tracks containing russian choir. I'm only up to 6 tracks so far, but perhaps you guys have some suggestions on what else to add.
Prokofiev - Alexander Nevsky - The battle on the ice
Poledouris - Hunt for Red October - Hymn to Red October
Hannigan, Klepacki & Wynn - Command & conquer: Red alert 3 - Theme-Soviet march
Two Steps From Hell - Dynasty - Red army
Delerue - The 25th hour - Arrival of the russians
Badelt - K-19: The widowmaker

James Newton Howard - Snow Falling on Cedars
One of my all-time favourite scores. A brilliant heartfelt and restrained work on this side of The Thin Red Line. I bought it last year as a bargain (13$ INCLUDING shipping! For an OOP score!) and now it is becoming one of my musical best friends. Beautiful use of choir, a sense of sadness, subtly created tension, mystical (mostly by channeling Arvo Part, but that ain't a bad thing) feel, emotions coming from the heart, always called for... Brilliance.
An interesting fact is that it's almost a C&C release, there is a minor change in chronology on the album, but it stays with the movie and it's basically complete. I've heard that JNH also regards it as one of his favourite works.

Pretty much any track from James Horner's Enemy at the Gates, especially the first and last cues. -

The Essential Elmer Bernstein Collection (Silva Screen)
A great overview over the composer's work.Bach's music is vibrant and inspired. -

In unexpected synchronicity (although when considering the composer's most prodigious output, the odds probably aren't even that low), I am playing Elmer Bernstein's Rat Race.
Solidly grounded in the composer's strong 'Cool Jazz' oeuvre, this Kritzerland is absolutely fantastic.
The theme is a rousing, driving bit of jazz that is every bit as exciting as the iconic Man With The Golden Arm (even though that theme is pretty much unsurpassed in my opinion!).
Sadly the only rendition I could find on YouTube is a 1960 interpretation and it's not even by Bernstein himself.
The original is MUCH better in feel, style and execution.
The rest of the score doesn't let you down with a variety of strong, varied jazz cues ( often referencing the theme in many varieties) in that same late fifties/early sixties style, so much more harsh and grounded than, for example, the generally lovely jazz stylings of Mancini in that same period.
It's an absolute knock-out of a soundtrack, and definitely the way I like Bernstein best!'no passion nor excitement here, despite all the notes and musicians' ~ Falkirkbairn -

I come back to this score from time to time, the complete version, and it's always a good listen. One of my favorite score from the master. I love the main theme. The movie is one of my favorite as well, despite the some of the cheese in the casting/performance. -

Bernstein scored the old film, then he recorded a score for the 2001 film by the same name and that one was rejected.
