Probably a tie between Tony Thomas’ books MUSIC FOR THE MOVIES and FILM SCORE, and Charles Bernstein’s FILM MUSIC – AND EVERYTHING ELSE.

Thanks for the recommendations. Are these focused on music theory?

[Sigbjørn]

Better get the upcoming John Williams biography. 😉

[Sigbjørn]

Which one of these would you recommend the most?

[Sigbjørn]

The OST is indeed good. Haven’t heard the expansion, though.

[Sigbjørn]

OST or expansion?

[Sigbjørn]

I have the Adventures of Robin Hood and the Batman film score guides from Scarecrow Press. It’s kind of arbitrary that I got these two specific titles, as I stumbled over them quite discounted. Haven’t read much in them yet.

[Sigbjørn]

I don’t like wasting space, so if I have an album I’m quite certain I won’t listen to again, I get rid of it.

[Sigbjørn]

John Williams’ Monsignor is decent. 😉

[Sigbjørn]

What about sending regular updates about recent discussions to those who already are registered in the forum? For example once a week.

[Sigbjørn]

Indeed. It’s from a classic 70s puppetry family film, it even inspired the pod race in The Phantom Menace. 😉

I see, although I was referring to the playing, not the sound. Some of their older recordings give the impression they only had time/budget for one take, with little time for practising.

[Sigbjørn]

Does this Silva/Prague box contain only newish recordings, or do they go all the way back to the 80s/90s when this team produced a lot of shoddy recordings?

[Sigbjørn]

Can’t say I’m familiar with him, but there’s a box of his symphonies on Dacapo.

Anyone gotten the new Barry box set from Quartet Records, The Polydor Years? How is it?
