Reply To: Philippe Rombi
I’m a big fan of Rombi and have every score available on CD by him.
I enjoy his light, frothy orchestral touch in his earlier scores and although some of his recent thriller efforts have been a tad droney and dull, I always look forward to any new films by him.
Regarding the comment above about Rombi being the French John Williams. I’ve always figured Frederic Talgorn owned that title, due to his musical style being so similar.
Rombi is certainly in my Top 5 favourite French film composers, alongside Talgorn, Georges Delerue, Maurice Jarre and Philippe Sarde, although I also very much like Alexandre Desplat, but he can be quite hit and miss for me (but then, so too can Maurice Jarre as well, so I’d put them at 4 & 5).
