Impressive score, one of the top 10 of 2013 for me (it was featured in the very first top 10 of the year podcast episode that I did). Only 33 minutes, and Reyes’ original piano concerto, which plays a central, diegetic part in the thriller, takes up 90% of it. I know it’s one of Sigbjørn’s favourites too – one of the rare times he speaks about a score that isn’t LADY JANE and STAR WARS!
Hey, I don’t speak that much about Star Wars. Roy Budd’s Phantom of the Opera on the other hand… and I’m still looking for a physical copy of Grand Piano if anyone has a spare copy.
This is a shout-out to Sigbjørn, who alerted me to this a few years ago. I think it’s his favourite score, because he keeps mentioning it over and over again.
I wouldn’t say it’s my favourite score, but it’s among my many favourites and I think more soundtrack fans would appreciate it if made aware of it – it’s still kinda under the radar despite the excellent Tadlow/Quartet release.
that time in 1982 when I shared a cheese sandwich with Ingmar Bergman in his kitchen. He had no books or music players. Just a table and two chairs.
I don’t have books or music players in my kitchen either.
…WHAT? You visited Ingmar Bergman in his kitchen?!?
It’s the “better ebay for music” I would say. Used it a few times and always worked well.
Agreed. It takes significantly less time to list a CD album for sale on Discogs than on eBay. In addition, eBay charges a fee for transferring the money to the seller’s account (they don’t allow payment directly to PayPal or bank account anymore). The transfer has to be done within a month of selling the item, so there’s limited possibilities to save up before transferring.
The reason they’re not sending to Norway anymore seems to be they don’t want to bother with the VOEC system that was introduced a couple of years ago, where the online store has to collect VAT on behalf of Norwegian tax authorities.
Yes. Receive the package sent to a package box near the helper’s address, collect the package, pay for shipping to my address in Norway (which will be refunded) and attach the new shipping label, then drop it off at a postal office.
Thanks for the suggestion, Thor, but I need to give an answer to Ginza the following week whether to cancel to order or re-ship it right away.
I’m in a pickle regarding delivery of a package. I recently placed an order at ginza.se, who have stopped shipping to Norway. Therefore I selected a German forwarding service as the shipping address, but it turnes out Ginza’s only shipping option goes to a package delivery box, not directly to the receiver. Unfortunately, the shipping forwarding service doesn’t collect packages from package delivery boxes.
I might have the option to have the package resent after it has been returned to Ginza, but the only available destinations are Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Germany. If someone on the forum residing in one of these countries could help me out and forward the package, it would be much appreciated. I will of course pay for the inconvenience.
Link?
Okay then, but I won’t be able to ship during the next two weeks. If anyone wants an item, let me know and I’ll mark it as sold.
Total? €55. Now comes the exciting part. Will they arrive at Nick’s place? What will the shipping be to Norway? Will the Norwegian customs office refuse to accept the “gift” marker and toll me anyway?
And will the items be in the conditions described?
Did anyone ever use Intermezzo? I often read about them but since the site is Italian only basically… Yeah, I can use Google and since I had Latin once I do understand a few things but it is inconvenient.
I recommend them. It’s easy to order from the store with Google translate activated in the browser, but the site can be very slow to navigate. Their customer service is okay, although they can be a bit grumpy.
I should perhaps have specified that I wish there were a soundtrack store like that in NORWAY, LOL! Yeah, like that’s ever gonna happen.
My Discogs store is at your service.
If you’re keeping the box in which the CDs were shipped from Medimops, Thor, will there be anything to save on shipping by dropping the jewel cases?
By the way @Sigbjørn, did you already listen to the Sarde box (sorry for the off-topic)?
I’ve opened the box and put the last CD into a CD-player. I’m considering pushing the play button any time now. 🙂
I have every single issue of FSM, so no need for it. But looks like a neat item.
Didn’t you write some articles for FSM? Is some of that featured in the book?
He, he…one is on the short side, Sigbjørn. Have you ever actually seen your beloved LADY JANE, though?
Of course, as it’s a masterclass in costume drama film scoring. I have it on DVD – it wasn’t on blu-ray the last time I checked. You’re welcome to come and watch it the next time you’re around these parts. 🙂
That’s an interesting peak behind the curtains, Eirik.
I sometimes put dots on paper that may or may not qualify as music, but nowadays I’m mostly decomposing.
I actually did mention his MY LIFE AS A DOG somewhere in the beginning of this
I’m surprised I didn’t notice this.
I did, too, in fact right above Sigbjørn’s post.
…and this. I guess I was scanning for the score to Ronja in particular.
