- discussion topic Golden Age Film Composers
- Comment [quote][b]Thor wrote[/b] How would you define Poland's "Golden Age" (rough time period)? Late 50s to mid 80s?[/quote] Good question. I personally am not aware of much pre-1950s Polish films. I get the feeling that '30s & '40s Polish cinema - as with other countries' cinema as well ...

- discussion topic Golden Age Film Composers
- Comment [quote][b]sdtom wrote[/b] At least I can discuss with you.[/quote] I can join, too. Golden Age film music needs as much support as it can get and we shouldn't limit that to just Hollywood's 'Golden Age' either.

- discussion topic Golden Age Film Composers
- Comment Hi, Pawel Stroinski. Since you link to a Polish site on film music, might I suggest that you acquaint yourself with not only Bronislau Kaper [who was #2 composer (after Rozsa) @ MGM studios during the 1950s] but also with the 'Golden Age' cinema from other countries besides Hollywood. If you like ...

- Comment [quote][b]Cobweb wrote[/b] 60. THE SAILOR WHO FELL FROM GRACE WITH THE SEA (Johnny Mandel) [/quote] Last year, I indicated this Mandel soundtrack as my 60th fave. At that time, I was referring to the Polydor LP which was made (only) in Japan. The LP-only situation probably meant that MT members ...

- Comment To be honest, [b]The Second Jungle Book[/b] doesn't appeal to me much. Perhaps you may like it, but I find it disappointing. I think [b]The New Swiss Family Robinson[/b] is more satisfactory, IMO. Scott's [b]20,000 Leagues Under The Sea[/b] is very good and better than either of these 2 (again ...

- Comment Hi, kilar 30. I'd rank [b]Yellow Dog: Far From Home[/b] as a 3-star album. A solid good John Scott score, but - for me personally - not as impressive or as engaging as [b]The North Star[/b]. Almost all John Scott soundtracks contain quality instrumental music, so we fans of Scott shouldn't be ...

- Comment For those titles which I know I like (for example [b]The Whistle Blower[/b] LP, which I have owned since the late '80s) & when such albums arrive onto CD, I sometimes purchase 2 of them. I keep one factory sealed whilst the other gets opened, listen to, copied, etc. Since this LP-to-CD series ...

Just got my 2 copies in the mail yesterday, so no longer need to rely upon the LP which I've had since it was new. Ripped [b]The Whistle Blower[/b] to my ...

- Comment Thanks for your input, Joep. I, too, got the impression that [b]I Giovanni Tigri[/b] is not essential Piccioni. Interesting how us followers of an individual composer can have quite different responses/opinions regarding which works/discs are outstanding. Still, differing reviews are advantages ...

- discussion topic PIERO PICCIONI
- Comment Hi, Lanark. Yeah, it seems to me that [b]Scacco Alla Regina[/b] was highly regarded soon after its release on LP. Several tracks from that album were tracked into Piccioni's 1976 [b]Quelle Strane Occasioni[/b], so, in a period of less than 10 years, [b]Scacco Alla Regina[/b] was already an iconic ...

This does not bode well for them regarding May's scoring from that '78 to '82 period on non-[b]Mad Max[/b] features. If you don't like [b]Mad Max[/b], then most likely you won't be receptive towards [b]Patrick[/b] or ...

- discussion topic SIR MALCOLM ARNOLD

After years of performing, he subsequently involved himself as a composer for both concert hall and cinema. Seems as though England had less of a division between these 2 areas than USA with respect to ...

- Comment With British composers whose music from films are sparsely represented on discs (such as William Alwyn, R.R. Bennett, etc.), one receives a more comprehensive overview of a composer's output and talents by watching the films (and TV shows) they scored on home video. Here's some films & TV that ...

There's 3 selections apiece for both Richard Rodney Bennett and Piero Piccioni. All others have either 2 entries or just 1. The oldest soundtrack is Amfitheatrof's BIRD ...

Timmer, you might wish to investigate Gino Marinuzzi jr's MARTE peplum on Digitmovies; it's in stereo and sounds quite classical (as if Gustav Holst wrote for peplum :) ...
