Looking good, Thor! 😉
Would love to get more from MARK OF ZORRO than that one suite Roy Budd recorded. And I am still wondering why there has been no proper re-recording of CAPTIAN BLOOD besides suites.
Agreed on both accounts. Some choices for re-recordings by Stromberg and the likes baffle me when we have gems like these that are mostly unavailable.
I’m not good at destilling favourites into lists, but here goes:
Korngold: The Adventures of Robin Hood
Walton: Henry V
Korngold: The Sea Hawk
Chaplin: City Lights
Korngold: Captain Blood
Bliss: Things to Come
Steiner (& Hupfeld): Casablanca
Newman: Wuthering Heights
Raksin: Laura
Newman: The Mark of ZorroHonourable mentions (released shortly after the cut-off year 1948):
Waxman: Sunset Boulevard
Herrmann: On Dangerous Ground
Rozsa: Young BessI guess many of Rozsa’s historical epics kinda qualify.
And what about Gould’s Exodus? I’ve never seen the film.
Yes, Phantom it is! It’s very different from Budd’s other scores that I’ve heard, or perhaps you guys could point me towards a similarly sounding score of his.
I’m a fan of one Budd score, which I wrote a review of for this site. I can’t find it now, so it’s possible I didn’t finish it. I haven’t discovered any other score of his that I really like, but there’s many I haven’t sampled yet.
Since the last time we talked about this, I too have discovered jpc.de. It’s very expensive for specialist label releases, as Malte says, but it’s okay for standard soundtrack releases, and also for classical music. Their default prices aren’t very competitive, but they often have good discounts. Unfortunately, they stopped shipping to Norway last year because of our newish VAT rules (the store is required collect VAT on behalf of the Norwegian state).
Regarding Soundtrack Corner, I find their competitor Music Box Records to have lower prices (at least when shipped to Norway), and Intermezzo Media is even lower. Still, it often pays off to order in bulk from (at least some) US stores.
