Reply To: Choose 10 Golden Age must-haves
As you say, one per composer is a tough. But, today, my list would be:
Bernard Herrmann – THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR
David Raksin – LAURA
Erich Wolfgang Korngold – THE SEA HAWK
Franz Waxman – THE BRIDE OF FRANKENSTEIN
Gottfried Huppertz – METROPOLIS
Herbert Stothart – THE WIZARD OF OZ
Max Steiner – KING KONG
Miklós Rózsa – SPELLBOUND
Ralph Vaughan Williams – SCOTT OF THE ANTARCTIC
Sergei Prokofiev – ALEXANDER NEVSKY
