    Oh and before I read this thread I got Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez* and I'll be starting to listen to that next week.

    *based on certain member's ridiculously enthusiastic comments...

    Quite contrary to my usual style, anything I said about that piece was utterly free from any hyperbole whatsoever.

    (You'll be starting to listen to it next week? uhm
    It's a 25 minute piece! How much lead time do you need?)

    And, for once, justified hyperbole, it's a magnificent and truly moving work.

    I buy a month's worth of new music at a time.
    Then every weekend I schedule a week's worth of new music and listen to a new CD every weekday (as well as a selection of previous week's new CDs to ensure that I listen to every new purchase 5 times).

    So, I can't listen to it this week because I already have 5 new CDs for each weekday. But I am planning to schedule it for next week

    Here's an interesting question: what classical composer's style is most similar to the style Klaus Badelt employed in his score for The Promise? Not referring so much to the eastern instruments but to the sweeping, romantic melody and the use of brass.

    VAUGHAN WILLIAMS # 6


    I've never been able to accurately verify this but if you listen to the theme that starts at 5.35 I am sure this must be the unused film theme he wrote, it's utterly an gorgeous piece the likes of which Ernest Gold would have been proud to claim, very pastoral and ultimately tragic, it was later used in the 1970's TV series A Family At War.

    check it out.

    I can't watch videos at work and I wouldn't want to be subjected to youtube quality anyway :P

    But I promise I will be listening to that symphony sometime in the near future.

    Fair enough Matt wink I do try to make sure I put up the best quality youtube clip possible, this one is very old, Adrian Boult conducting the LSO and it's not bad at all, more than likely Vaughan Williams himself would have been in attendence at this recording as he was at many of his good friend Boult.

    I only know Stars and Stripes Forever, and that seems more patriotic than romantic. Does he have other works of a different style?

    Well then, what about classical music that sounds like Holst's Jupiter...particularly the more romantic melody in the middle section?

    I'm not sure why anyone would want classical music that sounds like Klaus Badelt. confused Some of his romantic stuff sounds far more John Barry than anything classical.

    The middle bit of Vaughan Williams The Wasps certainly fits your description though.

    Yes, Barry is a good example of what I am talking about. The John Dunbar Theme is a perfect example actually. Are you saying Barry is the originator of that particular style of romantic composition? He wasn't following in the footsteps of some classical composer or another?

    Barry is one of the few film composers who are truly unique and with an original sound, however you'll definitely hear his influences from the works of Dvorak, Rachmaniov, Mahler and, particularly in his earlier scores in the works of Miles Davis, Chet Baker and Stan Kenton.

    Have a listen to Scheherazade from Rimsky-Korsakov. The work is filled with melody and his orchestration is superb. The man could paint a picture for you like no other.

    I've really been enjoying the music of Polish composer Pendericki lately.

    If you like the dissonant side of William's Close Encounters or Goldsmith's Alien to name just a couple of references then you'd appreciate the music that may have inspired such scores.
    Quite arresting, dark and disturbing. Yet brilliant! cool





    But you must be in the right frame for it!
