Me too, I love all these Holmes scores !

I'm playing Paolo Buonvino's RICORDATI DI ME now. My first listen and I like it very much, perhaps even more than the other scores I have from him. It's dramatic and intense score relying especially on low strings in some places. My complaint goes for the pop track (#8) because the other pop tracks were assembled to CD1 of the 2 CD set; this one figures in the middle of the score.

(edit) ...and now moved to his PADRE PIO. Again a wonderful composition, again with passionate string themes.

Sounds like a hell of a road trip David. You forgot to bring along "Time After Time" (Miklos Rozsa).

Goldsmith's The Wind & The Lion (original version) has been receiving some heavy rotation - possibly one of the best scores I've heard in a long while and er imho Jerry's overall best.
Morricone's Nostromo - good but not essential and would have made a better listen if paired deown to a single disc
Morricone's Drammi Gotici - not a score I'd recommend to the casual listener but with any Morricone score there's always one track that crawls inside your brain and won't let go
Music De Wolfe - comp of library tracks that were probably used at one time for TV - essential.

Thanks

Hello,


Thank you all for answering my post.

Dorian - I'll have to check out that Paolo Buonvino score. Do you happen to have his score "N (IO E Napoleone)"? If not, You might want to check that one out it's an excellent score.

workingwithknives - I really like "Time After Time" by Miklos Rozsa, But I don't think it's a Sherlock Holmes movie is it?

Thanks again-

Best Regards,
David Phoenix, AZ.

(deg63iami) My mistake. H.G. Wells pursues "Jack The Ripper" into the future in "Time After Time". Sherlock Holmes is in pursuit in "Study In Terror".

Right now I'm listening to Stephen Warbeck's "Shakespeare In Love", a beautiful score that surely deserved its Oscar.

Currently in the car are the 3 National Geographic cds from Intrada. Great stuff by 5 wonderous composers. The Bernstein/Moross discs is on its second listen. I absolutely love Holdridge re-using his Wizards and Wariors theme. I am sure more people heard that theme for the first time on the NG special than ever heard it on the short lived tv series it was written for. I still have my original off the air recordings of W&W in my videotape collection.


BTW, David, you are missing the score to Murder by Decree (I wonder if it has ever been released. Christopher Plummer and James Mason as Holmes and Watson vs Jack the Ripper in that one as well)

Hello David and sorry for my late reaction: no, I don't have "N (Io e Napoleone)" yet and will look for it -- thanks for the recommendation. Next to "Ricordati di Me" I have "Padre Pio" from Buonvino (absolutely wonderful score, highly recommended too), "Il Giovane Casanova" (a lovely theme, quite good score as well) and "Ecco Fatto" (which I admit I haven't heard yet).

And as far as I'm aware, Murder by Decree was never released but would be a great title to have (hopefully with the photo of the Donald Sutherland character in the booklet).
