Last post by Symphonic Addict - Today at 09:44:21 AMThis recent release was under my radar and it's already available. It includes Ravel's SQ and Lyatoshinsky's SQs 2 and 3. I think this is the first commercial recording of them ever without including LPs. Good to see that there's an increasing interest in recording string quartets by others apart from the usual suspects.

Last post by vandermolen - Today at 09:27:11 AMWalter Kaufmann: Symphony No.3
Aaron Avshalomov's 1st Symphony (familiar to you all I'm sure) came to mind as did Ernest Bloch and Respighi.
It's a magical and memorable score with a distinct Chinese feel to it.

General Classical Music Discussion / Re: Film (movie) Music
Last post by W.A. Mozart - Today at 09:04:01 AMHere below you find the scores of the five film nominated for the Oscar "Best Original Score" in 2004.
Each video is structured as follows:
- Main theme
- Secondary themes
- Final reprise of the main theme with climax
In Reddit I'm running a competition. The users have to vote their favourite score between the ones nominated in each year. In the second and final part of this competition, all the winners for each year will compete between each others.
If you have a Reddit account you can vote here for the year 2004: https://www.reddit.com/r/classicalmusic/comments/1cu5ro5/game_best_original_score_2004_see_the_videos_to/
As for me, I like the score of "Cold Mountain" and I quite like the ones of "Big Fish" and of "House of Sand and Fog", but I really love the score of The Lord of the Ring (it's one of my favourite scores) because I think that it has great melodic inventiveness and powerful and colorful orchestrations.
I don't like so much the score of "Finding Nemo" (I'm probably not a great fan of Thomas Newman, in general).

The Diner / Re: Last Movie You Watched
Last post by drogulus - Today at 08:55:02 AMI watched Mission to Mars, a 2000 scifi flick from shlockmeister deluxe Brian De Palma. He does his thing with a party and a disco in space. For better or worse there are no Uzis, cocaine or chainsaws. The score is by Ennio Morricone. The film is better than you might think. Also, Don Cheadle is plusgood all the time.

The Diner / Re: Last Movie You Watched
Last post by SonicMan46 - Today at 08:17:42 AMFinding Neverland (2004) - synopsis and main cast below; again, a film to watch with kids but adults can certainly enjoy, especially with Depp's Oscar nominated performance; reviews: 3+*, Maltin; 83%, Rotten Tomatoes; and 7.7/10, IMDB - highly recommended. Dave 
QuoteFinding Neverland is a 2004 biographical fantasy film directed by Marc Forster and written by David Magee, based on the 1998 play The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee. The film is about playwright J. M. Barrie and his relationship with a family who inspired him to create Peter Pan. The film earned seven nominations at the 77th Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Actor for Johnny Depp, and won for Best Original Score. The film was the inspiration for the stage musical of the same name in 2012. (Source)
