Which show is this? Would be fun to watch, as classical music quiz shows haven’t been a thing in Norway for decades.
Prokofiev’s symphonies and piano concertos are very worth exploring.
I second that! IVAN THE TERRIBLE is also a good score. The concert scenario arranged by Christopher Palmer and conducted by Neeme Järvi is great. Haven’t heard the 2CD version conducted by Frank Strobel though.
Hm, I could have sworn I had replied on this topic months ago. Apparently I haven’t… too many “top 10” topics probably 🙂
Yikes, I would never consider Rosenthal a one-hit wonder, not with a score like The Miracle Worker to go with Titans though the latter does stand out as a listening pleasure for sure. The former’s a truly memorable accomplishment for a from-stage-to-screen production if ever there were.
Yes, there are lots more wonderful Laurence Rosenthal scores besides CLASH OF THE TITANS.
Same with Basil Poledouris… there are so many great scores apart from the two CONAN scores. From his wonderfully small scale piano score for IT’S MY PARTY to the sweeping epic FAREWELL TO THE KING, Poledouris was one of the greats in my book.For anyone not familiar with Rosenthal’s output, the WSA album from two years ago is a great gateway in.
The guy turns 100 next year. Amazing.

Exactly that album led me zo the conclusion that Clash of the Titans is the only score of his that I like and find interesting enough.
While Rosenthal may not be my top favorite I like a lot of his scores. CLASH OF THE TITANS as mentioned, BECKET, ROOSTER COGBURN, METEOR, the mini series like PETER THE GREAT, ANASTASIA, CATHERINE THE GREAT or his YOUNG INDY scores.
