In the meantime, Goldenthal says he’s refining the album recording of “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and doing revisions on an album version of “Grendel,” which earned him runner-up status in 2007 for the Pulitzer Prize for Music.

Indeed, a long wait is about to come to a close.

Let's hope it happens this time. Back in 2010, he said the CD would be coming out within a year, but that never happened. I believe it when I see it.

I'll believe it when I'm holding the jewel case in my hands and the music is coming from my headphones.

How is Goldenthal doing?

I'd say as of about 3 years ago he's doing quite well. After years of not much to report, his label kicked into gear with releases of Othello Symphony, String Quartet No.1 (and other chamber music), Jabberwocky EP, and the release two months ago of his Symphony in G# Minor.

On the premiere front, there was the premiere of his Symphony last spring, the premiere of his "Lyric Suite" this past February in NYC, the premiere of his music to the Taymor production of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" for the stage and the recent film adaptation last month.

And he really picked up the concert activity of his film music. He premiered his Grand Gothic Suite (from his Batman scores) at Tenerife last year, then it was done in Krakow which brought down the house, and it was recently done in Turkey as well. Krakow featured him in 2012 with Kilar doing his music from Alien 3, Frida, Interview with a Vampire, and Titus. He was a guest of the Prague film music concerts where he actually conducted the adagio from Alien 3 and Nic Raine conducted his music from Cobb, Titus and others things. His full ballet Othello was done in ten performances at the Joffrey ballet in Chicago in a theater that holds 4,000 seats. And it was done two months ago at the Met Opera House in NYC in 4 performances by American Ballet Theater.

Awards: He received the ASCAP founders's award only a few months ago as well as the first ever Kilar award. All of these things were documented on his website, twitter, and Facebook. None of these resources existed in years past when we were all wondering what he was up to.

He was brought back to Krakow again this year to receive the Kilar award and present a concert of his Shakespeare scores (Titus (the premiere of Part 1 of the Titus Symphonic Trilogy), two selections from Othello (ballet), "Three Shakespeare Songs" drawn from The Tempest (2010), and recent music from A Midsummer Night's Dream.

His Symphony in G# Minor will have its premiere on September 6 at the Bruckner Orchester Linz in Austria.

It's been almost a year now and still no news. Has the maestro forgotten about his fans or as he likes to say, 'insane freaks'?

I think the whole thing collapsed. It's been 6 years since he told me about the plans to record and release a CD (with the Nibelungen performers), so something must have happened along the way.

How about about A Midsummer's Night Dream? Perhaps Smaug could enlighten us.

Opera recordings tend to be complicated and expensive.

I was just listening to my stunning audience recording of this and looked online to see if there was any news on this.

It would be such a loss to the world of music and Goldenthal's epic body of work if this never came out. I'm not much of an opera man, and the whole piece is so stunning. Some of Goldenthal's best.

Anybody know what are the tracks that make up the Grand Gothic Suite? Is it solely from Batman Forever or does it include music from Batman and Robin?

I never understand this attitude that if Goldenthal isn't scoring Hollywood blockbusters then "where is he??!!"

For new music he has done two shows that I saw in NYC including Grounded (with Anne Hathaway), Midsummer Night's Dream, and one presumes he's doing the recently announced Julie Taymor directed new M. Butterfly on Broadway.

For new music there is recently the Symphony (2014), the Lyric Suite (2015), Waltz & Agitato (January 2017 in Rochester), and in October the Chamber Orchestra of Philadelphia is premiering his Trumpet Concerto.

So the guy isn't doing movies like SWAT anymore...who cares. Where I'd kill to hear what he would bring to many of these stale franchises, I'd actually prefer to hear him compose more concert hall stuff.

P.S. I see the Midsummer Night's Dream that Goldenthal and Taymor did is coming to BluRay on June 20: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N33H5LQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fY7hzbZP6Z6A4

You can hear all the creepy kids choruses and songs that weren't on the CD soundtrack.
