Thanks.

It sounds great and powerful.

I like it!

[Sirusjr]

Thanks a lot Sanico! Great idea including samples It sounds old in style but not in quality

[Lens of Truth]

Brilliant Sanico! I've wanted to hear this for a while, being much in love with the Bernstein Great Composers set. This looks much more elaborate though.

In other words, perfection!

I have posted samples in my last uploads, and i'll do them on future.
It's a way for people who don't know that music, can get a glimpse before bothering to download.

Great.

[recantha]

Here's one I don't think has been posted before.

From little-known composer Abel Korzeniowski, here are the only available tracks to Battle for Terra, an animated feature.

No password on this.

There's some orchestral bombast in there as well as contemplative music of an ethnic vibe. I think he's used synths, but they're either really good, or they're mixed with real.

Enjoy!

Review from Soundtrack Central:
The sweeping melodies of Dario Marianelli's Pride and Prejudice meets the orchestral fidelity of John Williams' Hook in the soundtrack to Half Light (starring Demi Moore). The thriller film is already out in DVD in the United States, and is currently making the rounds in Europe. Its soundtrack, composed and conducted by Australian Brett Rosenberg in his feature-length film debut, is the 9th release of record label Movie Score Media, and--in my opinion--its best yet. Fortunately for us, the CD was released, though it took an online petition and hundreds of 'signatures.'

Movie Score Media called the Rosenberg’s score "Herrmann-esque" relating it to the finest of Hitchcock soundscapes. The label commented that the score is composed of "a lot of moody atmospheres that recalls some of Christopher Young’s finest genre works." Young, of course, has composed The Exorsism of Emily Rose and The Shipping News in this similar style (though the latter has Irish overtones). What struck me, though, were the beautiful themes in this soundtrack, as evidenced especially in the "Main Title" (and the "Lighthouse Vista"). This brings to mind Lizzie's theme from last year's Pride and Prejudice remake. For these melodies Rosenberg said that he "wanted it to sound warm, to give a sense of warm family life.” And it does. The intense sections of the score are also well-done, straying from the use of synthesizers in favor of broader orchestral pieces. Case in point: "Dreams and Drownings," "Drownings," and the creepy build-up of "Haunted."

My favorite cue from the soundtrack is "The Houdini" for its colorful one-three woodwind sequencing and brilliant undercurrent of instrumentation. The theme used here is also rather catchy, and reminded me that he does come from a pop background (his Father played for Nat Cole, Sinatra, and others). "Girl in the Storm" ends out the album (as the 29th track), and it is an easy bit of fiddling, reminiscent of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

All in all, the soundtrack--recorded by 80 members of the London session players in the Air Lyndhurst Studios--is very good for this genre, and promises great things for the still-young Mr. Rosenberg.

Good morning ladies and gentlemen!
Well, I'm back from my holiday in Tokyo - I'm so sorry I didn't actually post in advance of my disappearance; I was planning to do so before I left, but as usual I managed to leave packing until the last possible second and I was up until 4am getting my suitcases ready on the day of the flight - and for some reason, the Shrine wasn't loading up in my hotel room... ANYWAY. I am back! And jolly pleased to be back - had a wonderful wonderful wonderful wonderful time (did I mention wonderful?) but it's good to be back in England again.

And, I have brought back some little "gifts" from Tower Records in Shibuya... which I shall be uploading here in the next couple of days - so hopefully you good people will forgive me for just buggering off without even saying goodbye!

Cheers

Bibbidi Bobbidi Bach! - Donald Fraser [1996]

Hey Arthierr,
WoW! What a fascinating concept. I've never heard such a thing before.

Question, since this is subtitled "MORE Favorite Disney Tunes" does that mean there is a previous disc? Do you happen to know what the name of that one is?
Thanks! Michael

[Lens of Truth]

Danny mate, welcome back to Blighty and the Shrine! Was worried there for a minute you might've gone native Sorry I forgot to wish you well for the trip - I've been going crazy with work. Nice to hear you brought us back some pressies! I've got a couple of uploads coming myself. It's so hard trying to come up with stuff that'll satisfy the orchestral obsessives on this thread!

Answered my own question. The first cd is called "Heigh-Ho! Mozart: Favorite Disney Tunes In The Style Of Great Classical Composers"

JOE HISAISHI - ARION SYMPHONIC SUITE


MP3 VBR
[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

A score of truly epic sweep here for an anime painted on a similarly broad canvas. The main theme is classic Hisashi - soaring and wistful - heard most gorgeously singing over a bed of churning strings. Each track is like a little suite of contrasted sections, with many different kinds of music, but all united into a smooth whole [How does JH do this? It's all so accomplished, with lyricism and crucial telling details in the orchestration, yet it sounds so simple!]. I think you'll find this one grows with repeated listening. Also recommend the movie very strongly. Some beautiful art and character design and a story filled with incident, based on classical mythology, with plenty of those quasi-avant garde touches that make the best anime so strange and so special.

I have never heard Arion before so thank you for posting it Lens of Truth. And as always with a beautiful presentation and a nice synopsis that will help when i'll listen to it.

Oh and welcome back Dannyfrench.

[Mathazzar]

Sirius, thank you so much for Half Light! I'd never heard of it before but I'm listening to it now and it's absolutely wonderful! Much appreciated.

Indeed! Shame it is only released in digital formats. I would like to buy the CD.

EDIT: UWAHHHH!!!!!
ARION is absolutely astounding! Thanks so much lens!

[goldiemusic]

Hi

Does anyone have a recording of the July 2009 john Williams tanglewood concert?

Thanks!!

[tangotreats]

Arthierr! Are you there, my friend? This one is particularly for you... although I have no doubt everybody else will enjoy it as well...

A brand new Sahashi for you all, today - which doesn't appear to be particularly well known outside of Japan. I bought this in Tokyo last week in possibly the most crowded record store I've ever been to; Tower Records in Shibuya.

The tracklisting is NOT PERFECT. It's cobbled together once again, from three sources - my incredibly limited understanding of Japanese syntax, Google Translate, and Yahoo Babelfish. By combining the three, I have been able to reach fairly decent translations in most cases, but some titles were absolutely mangled. I think track 3 is trying to say something more than "Wish" but I don't want to interpret too much, so I left it as wish. The actual translation came through as "It does to wander about, the request" on Babelfish, and "Ishii Wish" on Google. So, in the absence of a sane translation, we have "Wish". The original Japanese tracklisting is here [Hidden link. Register to see links.] if anybody wants to have a go, or is just interested. I found this tracklisting after uploading the score, so the tags are just "Track 1", "Track 2", etc - sorry about that. I can't be bothered to upload again just to put in some badly translated track titles - so if you really want them, do it yourself.

TOSHIHIKO SAHASHI
Kanryo Tachi no Natsu



[Hidden link. Register to see links.]

1. Summer of Bureaucracy
2. A Better Tomorrow
3. Wish
4. Wind of Hope
5. The Wall Which Obstructs The Dawn
6. Warriors Rest
7. In a Daydream
8. Summer of Bureaucracy (medium version)
9. A Better Tomorrow (medium version)
10. Swirling
11. Wind Of Hope (acoustic guitar Version)
12. Noble Battle
13. Warriors Rest (strings version)
14. In a Daydream (acoustic guitar version)
15. Summer of Bureaucracy (slow version)
16. A Better Tomorrow (strings version)
17. Looming Shadow
18. Wind of Hope (piano version)
19. The Abyss of Sorrow
20. Determined Gallop
21. Summer of Bureaucracy (acoustic guitar version)
22. A Better Tomorrow (acoustic guitar version)

Just briefly - a fairly typical Sahashi score, with many different kinds of music. Not quite as full-on-action as you'd expect from Sahashi - still action oriented in places, but comparitively subdued. I'm very much liking it, as it is a slight departure from his usual style. (Much as we all love Sahashi... every score usually sounds the same.)

Enjoy!

[Lens of Truth]

OST added above for the curious. Unfortunately only in 128. I've got a 192 version, but it has horrendous clipping with absurd amounts of gain applied. So this one sounds a lot better.

[Sirusjr]

Thanks danny! Always like more Sahashi!

[arthierr]

Hi mates, I'm a bit less present here these days because september is quite a busy period in my job. I'll be more active as soon as I can.


Danny: Welcome back! So you went to Japan, oh you lucky bastard?! This is my dream since YEARS. Hope you had some good time in this incredible country. Thanks a lot for this brand new (and I guess extremely rare) Sahashi score. This is a very kind attention


Lens: Wonderful post, I randomly grabbed ARION in GH with other stuff with the word "symphonic" or "orchestral" in it. I didn't have the time to try it then, but your post is a good opportunity to give it a proper try. Thanks!


Sirusjr: Half Light is a very tasteful post. There's something interesting about it: it's been orchestrated and conducted by Nick Dodd, the guy who also do so for most David Arnold scores, IMO one of Hollywood's finest professionals in this domain. Here's a guy who actually knows how to use woodwinds!
