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.
enjoyed meeting the challenge of registering while receiving instructions in Norwegian.
Norwegian is the default language for Thor 😉 Visit your user profile and change the default language to English. Then all system texts should be English.
I understand, the editor is not realy for detailed finetuned styling. The theme has this general style for quotes with the line in front of it as you see it now and also here on the forum. I could remove that line for the actual articles on the next occasion as that surey would look better in the article.
I don’t have the book yet – surely not this year anymore as I am slow and only occasional book reader anyway -, so I love hearing about it.
Just to note: It would certainly help this site’s SEO ranking if the review would be in English already. I know, native language is best and such. Despite how usable the Google translation is already nowadays, Norwegian film score fans are a niche within a tiny niche 😉
Another note: For the quotes there is an actual semantic html element named “blockquote” which is avaiable in WordPress of course.
But especially when it comes to the music for the orks and alike for this fantasy World I wished we got a score a little less conventional and more original, something more in the direction of Goldsmith’s Planet of the Apes, just in a more contemporary style.
Although I did like it, I had the same feeling back then! Especially already loving POTA and also Rosenman’s LOTR although that could have used some IMHO unavoidable “celtic” stylings here and there.
Seems like people are hiring him when they want to have a title theme.
Yeah, good to know there are still some. Or he is pretty convincing.
I think I heard Philipp F. Kölmel’s RUBINROT (part of a teen fantasy filn series if I recall right) and liked it. I don’t have it. I think I saw watched TRAUMFABRIK but I neither recall score or movie in detail. Of the other two I have not heard including the movie.
I have my problems with Bertelmann as well. But I know far too few scores to really have really fixed opinion.
