But recently I listened in close proximity to Alamo, Guns of Navarone, Gunfight at the OK Corral and Last Train to Gun Hill and he is growing on me. Based on those four can I get some recommendations of additional Tiomkin I should try out?    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 8:32 AM     By:   JohnnyG   (Member) - WILD IS THE WIND - GIANT - 55 DAYS AT PEKING - THE FALL OF THE ROMAN EMPIRE - FRIENDLY PERSUASION - LAND OF THE PHARAOHS - RED RIVER - HIGH NOON Welcome to the rollickin' world of Dimitri!    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 10:17 AM     By:   Don Norman   (Member) The High and the Mighty Dial M for Murder The Thing    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 10:38 AM     By:   Dennis Brain   (Member) -Cyrano de Bergerac -The big sky    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 10:39 AM     By:   .   (Member) I've never had a particularly strong affinity to the works of Tiomkin.

Gerhardt's Tiomkin disc in his Classic Film Scores series (Lost Horizon) is well worth considering. And the vibrant suite from Strangers on a Train on the Varese Hitchcock album is very well done, as is everything on that CD which was produced by George Korngold.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 2:11 PM     By:   'Lenny Bruce' Marshall   (Member) Yeah, check him out on THE BEST OF THE JOHNY CARSON SHOW pt. 2!!!!!    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 2:21 PM     By:   joan hue   (Member) Given the ones that you have, I'd recommend DUEL IN THE SUN and GIANT.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 2:55 PM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) I too am not really a Tiomkin fan. He's usually way too over the top for me, ruining many scenes he scores. That said, as albumsI recommend Land of the Pharaohs and 36 Hours from FSM, as well as The Fall of the Roman Empire (get the complete Tadlow re-recording if you only get one, though the single disc LLL version has a far superior booklet and packaging so I cherish it too). Yavar    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 5:59 PM     By:   Ag^Janus   (Member) 1. "The WAR WAGON" 2. 55 Days at Peking Unfortunately sold out, still my favourites. The Alamo, is the only recording from Tadlow/Prometheus that I like. Its got the dances and stuff. Generally I like Tiomkin's rip snort'n work.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 6:05 PM     By:   Krakatoa   (Member) "The Thing from Another World" is a lot of fun.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 6:53 PM     By:   finder4545   (Member) Clearly " anything" of Tiomkin is worth to get. For my part, I would suggest a couple of titles which, in my opinion, had a special treatment and give me a special pleasure of listening: the elegiac THE OLD MAN AND THE SEA from Hemingway and the intellectualized western THE UNFORGIVEN, strongly hated by someone of the forum, but without reason.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 7:20 PM     By:   Great Escape   (Member) Thanks, everyone.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 7:46 PM     By:   Smitty   (Member) I enjoy pretty much any Tiomkin score, but I find the most essential one on album to be 36 Hours. Tiomkin in thriller mode is absolutely fascinating.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 10:52 PM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) 1.

Generally I like Tiomkin's rip snort'n work. These two are fantastic and sound great. Also the recent Wild is the Wind release and The Fall of the Roman Empire from La La land are great. Red River has a fantastic re-recording as well. Otherwise, many of the Tiomkin scores available are too degraded for me to enjoy.    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 11:23 PM     By:   Morricone   (Member) I will go for both of the underrated titles 36 HOURS and DUEL IN THE SUN (Always wondered why credit for big spectacular western scores went almost totally to THE BIG COUNTRY and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN. Isn't this earlier one in that powerful vein?)    Posted:   Sep 29, 2014 - 11:45 PM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) I will go for both of the underrated titles 36 HOURS and DUEL IN THE SUN (Always wondered why credit for big spectacular western scores went almost totally to THE BIG COUNTRY and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.

Is there a proper CD release of this one?    Posted:   Sep 30, 2014 - 5:45 AM     By:   Ag^Janus   (Member) Yes, Old Man and The Sea, get that one.    Posted:   Sep 30, 2014 - 5:53 AM     By:   Thomas   (Member) I too am not really a Tiomkin fan.

I only have the Tadlow release, and I find that booklet very informative, with cue analysis, notes about the film, producer's notes and stills from the film. How is LLL version's booklet 'far superior'?    Posted:   Sep 30, 2014 - 11:30 AM     By:   Morricone   (Member) I will go for both of the underrated titles 36 HOURS and DUEL IN THE SUN (Always wondered why credit for big spectacular western scores went almost totally to THE BIG COUNTRY and THE MAGNIFICENT SEVEN.

Yeah, the b**t is hard to come by (based on those 78s Arthur Fiedler did when the film came out). Next is the Laurie Johnson 10 minutes: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CD-Western-Film-World-Dimitri-Tiomkin-12734-3-/360962113998?pt=Kinder_Haushaltsgeraete&hash=item540b04c1ce And it is part of the President's country suite found a couple places. The rest of the available cuts is just the theme. Wouldn't THIS make an impressive Tadlow or Prometheus rerecording? Here's the movie without the overtures, you judge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlYjPQhGwoE    Posted:   Sep 30, 2014 - 12:56 PM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) I only have the Tadlow release, and I find that booklet very informative, with cue analysis, notes about the film, producer's notes and stills from the film. How is LLL version's booklet 'far superior'? Two words: Jim Titus. But hey I agree the Prometheus has some of their better notes and packaging, and as I said theirs is my #1 recommendation. A truly great rerecording which made me reassess the score which like Mr. Fitzpatrick I'd previously dismissed as noisy and obnoxious.
