Reply To: Chinese film music
I guess, Tan Dun’s CROUCHING TIGER HIDDEN DRAGON or HERO doesn’t count?
For sure those count and I would add THE BANQUET.
I have this Varese compilation ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA VOL.1 that is nice:
https://www.soundtrackcollector.com/title/7792/Once+Upon+A+Time+In+China%3A+The+Best+Of+Chinese+Filmmusic+Vol.+1
I have the score to ONCE UPON A TIME IN CHINA by James Wong itself and his score to GREEN SNAKE. Also William Wu’s TAI CHI MASTER. Been some time I listened to them. All Hong Kong so back then not directly China but I guess it counts, too 😉
I also have some tracks only for some reason for HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS but while the film is chinese the composer is actually japanse…
I might have some tracks by Joseph Koo for Kung Fu movies here and there but otherwise Chinese film music it is pretty uncharted territory.
