Excellent! Thank you André.

I like this disc of music by Hugo Friedhofer.

Nice disc of some film music by Rawsthorne. Very likable.

+1, especially 'The Cruel Sea', although I marginally prefer the, slightly more expansive, Silva Screen recording with the Royal Ballet Sinfonia conducted by Kenneth Alwyn:

Auric and the Brits. Very nice program, great playing (the trombones!), excellent documentation.

Yes, it's a most enjoyable disc!

He's a most interesting composer. His 'La Belle et La Bete' is one of my favourite movie scores - a haunting, poetic classic (also on Naxos with a less appealing cover). For years I looked out for the marvellously doom-laden music from 'Dead of Night', one of my favourite films, and then it appeared on that marvellous Chandos CD!

Picturesque and unique music !

Alwyn: Film Music [Hickox]





This is actually my first introduction to this composer. I am impressed thus far with his orchestration skills.

Alwyn: Film Music [Hickox]

Alwyn used the money he earned writing film scores (in part) to pay for the recordings on Lyrita he conducted of his more "serious" works - the symphonies/orchestral music etc.  Do listen to them if you enjoy these - very gpood - film scores

Thank you for the information and, yes, I plan to listen to more of his music fairly soon.

An Italian/Russian project for a new soundtrack of "Battleship Potemkin"

An Italian/Russian project for a new soundtrack of "Battleship Potemkin"

If I'm reading the credits correctly, composer Rossella Spinosa is also a pianist who has recorded works by Cage and Feldman (!). Can't find much on conductor (? - can't make out his exact credits) Fabio Pirola, but he seems to have done a lot of work in Russia.

Big question: will this new soundtrack surpass the one by the Pet Shop Boys?

Speaking personally, I rather like the Pet Shop Boys 

Having bought and enjoyed the soundtrack years ago I recently bought a DVD of the movie (Oliver Twist - Polanski), which we have enjoyed watching (despite my wife munching popcorn throughout) over the last few days:

I've realised that the doomed processional at the end of Benjamin Frankel's extraordinary score for 'Curse of the Werewolf' (now playing here) reminds me of the similarly doomed processional in William Alwyn's terrific score for 'Odd Man Out' - these are two of my absolute favourite film scores:

Now playing - what a score!
