[Der lächelnde Schatten]

What's the first movie that you recall watching in the theatre?

K

That's good question, but probably The NeverEnding Story, which I believe I saw in a dollar theater back in the late 80s. I still love this film to this day.

What about you?

It may have been very imaginative from a historical point of view but as a cinematic spectacle it held its own quite well.

I'll have to think about it....

This collection has been discussed before;



it can still be found on the usual online locations very reasonably priced for the 2 CD set.  Sourced from digital studio recordings for the Silva Screen label - sometimes in Prague sometimes in the UK - there is a lot of tremendous music here.  Today I enjoyed a lot Arnold's "Rhapsody - the Sound Barrier".  Typical Arnold with lots of brilliant brass writing and suitably stiff-upper-lip march music - great fun and well played!

Not the recording I was listening to but here's Andrew Davis at the BBC Proms in 1996.....

For me it was Star Wars which had a profound influence on me musically and my love of outer space.  Second film might have been Close Encounters which bored me to tears until the ending which blew me away.  I was just a kid and wanted my spaceships and aliens to shoot things.  But those scores were so, so great!
