Since I already own MBR's excellent 2 disc release, what discerns both releases? Just out of curiosity.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 7:09 AM     By:   Anthony Marose   (Member) Just saw a listing on SAE for a new Tadlow CD of OBSESSION. Since I already own MBR's excellent 2 disc release, what discerns both releases? Just out of curiosity. I believe the Tadlow release is simply a re-recording of the source material, as opposed to the original recorded score. Both would be great to add to your collection.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 7:43 AM     By:   JamesFitz   (Member) Just saw a listing on SAE for a new Tadlow CD of OBSESSION.

It's a new recording of the Herrmann score .... in 5.1 and 2.0    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 7:51 AM     By:   Stephen Woolston   (Member) The thread title suggests an adversarial relationship between the two recordings. There's no "versus" about it. If you love the OBSESSION score, you need both. In my humble opinion.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 8:45 AM     By:   SBD   (Member) The thread title suggests an adversarial relationship between the two recordings. There's no "versus" about it.

If one has to double-dip, it may as well be for Herrmann.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 8:56 AM     By:   Maleficio   (Member) I don't really get the OP's question...it clearly says "rerecording" in the SAE listing (not to mention all the info you get once you click on the listing). That's what discerns the two releases. That's it.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 9:05 AM     By:   Rozsaphile   (Member) I believe the Tadlow release is simply a re-recording . . . as opposed to the original recorded score. "Simply"? I see nothing simple in the process of making a new recording of a classic film score. (Wish we could lose the dumb-sounding term "rerecording.") You have to find the original score materials. Yes, folks, Herrmann's creation began with a penciled score. Or you will have to re-create the parts at considerable expense. Clear the rights, often with uncooperative owners. Hire a symphony orchestra and a recording studio and engineer and conductor. Research the variances between original score and final movie tracks. Mix. Edit. Promote. Distribute. And pay big time for all of the preceding without any assurance of a return on your investment. No, it is by no means a simple process. It's much more challenging than arranging for an archival track release. With all due respect to the many fine archival labels and their wonderful products, I consider the new recordings to be the more challenging and ultimately more valuable enterprises. Not least among the reasons is that they generate score materials that can support future performances. It is the latter that will ensure the survival of the music in the repertory of today's and tomorrow's musicians.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 9:06 AM     By:   Amer Zahid   (Member) Too early to debate. Lets wait it out guys. And I dont think the thread originator meant it as adversarial. So lets keep it civil folks :-)    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 9:13 AM     By:   John Black   (Member) Simply said, both the complete original tracks and the rerecording of the complete score are musts for me. Nothing adversarial at all.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 9:25 AM     By:   Sean Nethery   (Member) I agree that this doesn't need to become adversarial, but I also agree that we should simply replace the term re-recording with new recording. That works for classical music, and new recordings of show tunes. And that's what this is, an all-new recording. As many have noted, new recordings inevitably shine a new and different light on the music. That is I think the primary appeal, except for those scores that have never been released. But my question is why are we bothering with a new thread on the same subject when the other thread is already going? All it takes is reading the thread titles to find it.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 12:13 PM     By:   Nicolai P.

It's not "double-dipping", since they are two different recordings. I see this in the same light that I own more than one recording of Brahms' Requiem or Dvorak's Ninth Symphony.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 12:46 PM     By:   Essankay   (Member) Just saw a listing on SAE for a new Tadlow CD of OBSESSION.

PLUS Besides this being the complete soundtrack, how is this much different than the music box edition I just bought? This is a serious question not a sarcastic one. Where, oh where, is Jim Phelps when you need him?!?    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 12:57 PM     By:   Sirusjr   (Member) Well if you haven't experienced listening to two different recordings of the same music then this might be a good one to check out. At minimum you could compare the finale track on the youtube sample with the finale track on the original recording and see if you like the way the new recording sounds. If it isn't for you then you will have plenty to enjoy in the awesome music box records version. Personally I have a harder time picking up a new recording when the original sounds as good as this one does but some people really enjoy digging into two different versions even still.    Posted:   Apr 11, 2015 - 1:19 PM     By:   TerraEpon   (Member) It's not "double-dipping", since they are two different recordings. I see this in the same light that I own more than one recording of Brahms' Requiem or Dvorak's Ninth Symphony. Indeed, there's a huge difference between buying two different recordings and two different releases of the SAME recording. Weather or not you want both is somewhat irrelevant to the fact they aren't the same thing.     General Discussion: Obsession: MBR vs Tadlow    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
