I personally love choral stuff, but there's a time and a place...

I'm not feelin' the love for film score... Shucks. That interview with Horner is legendary, it's true. Horner is by far my favourite composer, having composed one shared score for five films, most of which are now sacrosanct to me (because I saw them and fell in love as a child): BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, STAR TREK II, ALIENS, KRULL, and WOLVEN. Also, don't forget the other score he wrote, the one shared between 48 HOURS, COMMANDO, ANOTHER 48 HOURS, GORKY PARK, and RED HEAT, among others. It wasn't until GLORY that he really started trying again. Despite all this, Horner is my favourite, and the interviewer was right about the score to THE NEW WORLD; It really is heartbreakingly beautiful, and it's a shame it wasn't used more fully. Great interview.
Oh yeah, Yared rules. by Flim_	Nov 2nd, 2006 11:37:51 PM
Horner calls him 'inexperienced at scoring action films' in that interview. He loves Yared's work, but thinks that he was overmatched on TROY, and that Wolfgang Peterson has a tendency to always go bigger... Bigger... BIGGER!! and that it led to a crap score. Just talented people working against each other to create a monster. Horner's score for TROY was no great shakes, to tell the truth, but that's what you get with three weeks of lead time. Yared's score for THE ENGLISH PATIENT is one of my very favourite scores, ever.

Thanks for bringing class and style to this outfit. If we ever meet, I'm buying you several dozen beers. Thanks man!

I can't listen to the shows for some reason. damn.
Yared is excellent by beamish13	Nov 3rd, 2006 05:10:55 PM
I absolutely love "Vincent and Theo". However, I wouldn't put him in the same rank as Michael Nyman, David Byrne, or Ryuichi Sakamoto.
