Reply To: FSM # 25: Favourite film scores of entire film history?
Btw, did Shostakovich really write an actual score for the silent OCTOBER? I somehow remmeber that it was just using music? There is a symphonic poem of the same name but that is from 1967 and not written for the movie. And of course the 2nd symphony.
Nope, not that I can recall. Only top 10 favourite soundtracks in general. But there have been such topics on other forums.
Maybe I confused that. Although we’re small there is already a lot! 😉
Can’t stand Hindemith, though, sorry.
I have two version of this score and that is quite nice (the RCA Victor one is more symhponic while the NDR Symphony Orchestra is more like it was probably performed with as smaller “Salon ensemble”). I am no fan or export with Hindemith but it is far more accessible than otherworks I heard by him.
