muel Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Music can really become an integral part of a movie. I have a hard time listening to a whole soundtrack of a movie. I usually have to go watch the movie after hearing the music for a while. I really like Bernard Herrmann! Kind of surprised nobody mentioned him. If you've seen any Hitchcock movies you've heard him most likely. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_Herrmann There are some really good recordings out there too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know his movies doing a quick search. Not really into movies of that time. Music different story. Late 70s is probably my cut off time line wise for movies.

"The Trouble with Harry" is funny yet a tiny bit dark. Sinbad and Journey to the center of the earth were more exciting in my youth I suppose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Half way though season 5. These are meant as pre to hitchcock's I think. Good if you haven't seen them. I like those sinbad and journey movies 👍. The late 70s isn't a brick wall. I do like some of that stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fantasy Film World of Bernard Hermann (Decca 1974) was a recommended "audiophile" album from one of the high-end stereo rags for a long time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artto Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 One of my John Williams favorites is Star Wars and Close Encounters of the Third Kind with Zubin Mehta conducting the Los Angeles Philharmonic (London 1978). MFSL had a high quality release of this version too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muel Posted June 21, 2019 Share Posted June 21, 2019 Couple in my collection: Soundtrack - Mysterious Island: The Complete Bernard Herrmann Motion Picture Score ; William Stromberg and The Moscow Symphony Orchestra Soundtrack - Vertigo- Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Bernard Herrmann; Joel McNeely Royal Scottish National Orchestra Fun to use when playing, "Name that Movie." Also fun to play loud! The neighbors wouldn't know quite what to think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heritage_Head Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 Zimmer (who im a huge fan of) came in at #9. I see i have some reading to do. "much to learn" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heritage_Head Posted June 21, 2019 Author Share Posted June 21, 2019 I really love Hans 3 Batman scores. And the batman vs superman (hated the movie but the score was great). Hans song "Beautiful lie" If you have never heard it. Please listen. After the 1min mark that piano riff is epic imo. The soundtrack is on spotify. Klipsch do it justice.
