I pride myself in not being TOO much of a geekboy
If being a film score fan isn’t a high level of geekness what else? 😉
Nice cover of Doldinger’s “Happy Flight” from NEVERENDING STORY by the “Rundfunk Tanzorchester Ehrenfeld” (a tv show band over here):

Recently resdiscovered these four acoustic Tangerine Dream covers a composer and school teacher did with his students.
Loved the series back then and was so upset when the murderer was spoilered in the media. I still feel even on a rewatch some years ago that the series lost a bit after that in season 1 already. But I liked the rather confusing season 2 as well. Haven’t seen that later follow up season 3. The movie was mixed for me.
The scores is of course a classic. The times when you went out to instantly buy the CD 😉
I know the name but totally unfamiliar with him. Perhaps he just dropped the last name when moving to LA as just “Timon” is surely easier to remember…
Years ago I was less forgiving for Horner but nowadays I made my peace with it. He does it so rather well that it doesn’t bother me. And I am not that familiar in detail that I don’t always notice (besides the danger motif maybe).
If you are nasty you could say for example Glass always sounds the same even if he does not re-use themes 😉 Just kidding, I like Glass but often need the mood for it. Thanks for tipp with VISITOR. Didn’t know that one and will give it a listen.
Of course during Beethoven’s days music was not so wide spread available so probably not many noticed 😉 I can surely understand to re-use a good theme, especially if you maybe even feel it is wasted in its original movie. After all its his property he can do what he likes.
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.
Hm, I could have sworn I had replied on this topic months ago. Apparently I haven’t… too many “top 10” topics probably 🙂
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.
I did search for such a plugin to the forum plugin but it was not that nicely fitting in. Maybe I give it another go sometime. I see that it could be nice instead of just replying with something like “I agree” or “I also like that score”.
Sadly we are a bit dependent on ready-made third party solutions for things. Other than FMS we are a “no budget forum” 😉
Hm, didn’t realize that was all in Norwegian. Everything that has to do with the forum and the registration process should ideally be default English.
Since the forum is just a part of the site we can only set everything to English by default. But actually the register form also has a language selector at the bottom.
Maybe that’s what’s keeping some people from completing the registration process?
Very maybe 😉
Norwegian content has been marginalized more and more over the years, so I’ve actually been thinking about adding MORE rather than less. This was a good opportunity to have some, especially – as you say – with the vast improvements in Google translation in recent years.
I understand that idea. Just thinking about the actual target audience in our niche which overall will be more English than Norwegian speaking. Despite Google translation people may not even get such articles as a search result if they have set preferred languages they understand.
