I'm totally getting blown away right now by Martinu's Symphony No. 1. So lively and inventive and thematic and, well, film score-like. Just amazing.

I picked up this 3-CD set of his complete symphonies for less than $12 on amazon, and I highly recommend you do the same. You won't regret it.

Great choice, Josh. This is the Martinu Symphonies set I own and it's also quite good (and can be had quite reasonably):

Tchaikovsky In Jazz - Sergey Zhilin's Trio



8 of the 12 months from "The Seasons", one of my favorite works of Pyotr Ilyich, plus The Nutcracker's "Waltz of the Flowers" played with verve and gusto by a russian jazz trio - wonderful!


Have a listen to "January-At the fireside":

Nostalgia trip...



I been thinking through the night
Everybody's so uptight
People hurt and that's their right
Cut 'em all loose, think I might

Outstanding!



All three works are magnificent, but check out the samples of Frost's Bassoon Concerto (tracks 4-6). It has a certain film score sound and feel to it: http://www.allmusic.com/album/stephen-frost-parapraxis-bassoon-concerto-kjell-m%C3%B8rk-karlsen-serenata-mw0002182322

NOW we're talking. I was waiting for the Josh who likes rock and rap in what has become the 'classical' thread.

It's so programmatic, it could very well BE film music. But it's not. It's stage/event music.

The Police- Synchronicity



"I have stood here before inside the pouring rain
With the world turning circles running 'round my brain
I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign
But it's my destiny to be the king of pain."

~"King of Pain"

Duran Duran-Greatest



"Came in from a rainy Thursday
On the avenue
Thought I heard you talking softly

I turned on the lights, the TV
And the radio
Still I can't escape the ghost of you

What has happened to it all?
Crazy, some are saying
Where is the life that I recognize?
Gone away"

~"Ordinary World"


It was tempting to quote 'The Reflex'... wink

Or even better, the "classic" lyric from 'Is There Something I Should Know?'...

Don't say you're easy on me you're about as easy as a nuclear war

I recently converted a 1983 audio cassette to mp3 of my then-11-year-old childhood best friend singing along with that song and specifically, that lyric. Deadly, deadly nostalgia...

BTW, Duran's song "Notorious" has some pretty tasty horn section work in it, but I'm not about to quote it...
