Thanks in advance. sd    Posted:   Oct 7, 2005 - 1:59 PM     By:   plindboe   (Member) A great score. If you like music from the Baroque era, you will dig it. Some say it sounds a great deal like Rameau, but I wouldn't know myself. There are obvious Morricone moments though, like the viola solo in the Vatel theme, and the love theme is pure Morricone as well, but even his Baroque sounding material are unmistakenly him. The score is completely melodic all the way through, so if you don't care about Morricone's suspense music, then there's nothing to worry about with this score. There are standalone melodies throughout most of the score, so it's impossible to get bored, and they are all good and catchy. My rating: (****½) Peter    Posted:   Oct 7, 2005 - 2:00 PM     By:   stalemate12   (Member) I really like the score. It has lots of varied themes on it and the music's very classical at times. It's a much underrated score by the Maestro imo. If it's cheap, definitely go for it!    Posted:   Oct 7, 2005 - 2:19 PM     By:   Moonie   (Member) Ordered thanks!! sd    Posted:   Oct 7, 2005 - 2:43 PM     By:   Southall   (Member) An absolutely magnificent score! One of my favourite recent Morricones.    Posted:   Oct 7, 2005 - 2:50 PM     By:   Moonie   (Member) Thanks I order quite a bit from Half.com and Amazon and evertime I go to half they post a soundtrack like a , have you tried this one , kind of thing. It was fairly cheep and I enjoy Morricones music so I thought Ide ask the experts. Thanks again guys. sd    Posted:   Oct 8, 2005 - 5:04 AM     By:   plindboe   (Member) Enjoy! Tell us what you think when you have it. Peter    Posted:   Oct 8, 2005 - 9:50 AM     By:   Tall Guy   (Member) Ordered thanks!! sd I don't think you'll be disappointed (if you ever are!) Vatel is a showcase for Morricone's classical composition techniques. Highlights for me are Symphonie Avec Voix and Kaleidoscope, a marvellous fugue lasting over six minutes that harks back a bit to The Humanoid, itself one of my favourite Morricone scores. As has already been said, no dissonance in this one. TG    Posted:   Oct 11, 2005 - 5:46 PM     By:   Moonie   (Member) Enjoy! Tell us what you think when you have it. Peter I have it and listening to it now, and yes I like it alot. I even thought I was picking up some Once Upon a Time in The West score on some of the cues. Very pretty score. sd    Posted:   Jun 18, 2016 - 11:19 AM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) Just got my copy... FR version... Is anyone elses copy also defective? There are some "audio gaps" during 3:10-20 on my copy...    Posted:   Jun 18, 2016 - 11:54 AM     By:   MusicMad   (Member) Just got my copy... FR version... Is anyone elses copy also defective? There are some "audio gaps" during 3:10-20 on my copy... Yep ... common faults, I'm afraid. I bought my copy - cheaply - many years ago and found at least two faults: I think between tracks 16 and 17 (could be between 15 and 16, I'm unsure now) there's a break and a repeat of several seconds ... and then in the final track there's an awful break which spoils the mood (albeit it's not a great arrangement/version of that iconic music). It is a lovely score and after a few plays you do get used to the faults! Mitch    Posted:   Jun 28, 2016 - 12:55 PM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) It's interesting... I've got the EU version... with defects... a friend of mine got the french pressing too and his copy is fine... Did you get the US or EU version? It would make sense if only one of the pressings got affected but it seems now that it's some of the copies only.    Posted:   Jun 29, 2016 - 9:06 AM     By:   PollyAnna   (Member) Thanks guys for this thread. Not familiar with this score so I will be looking into purchasing this    Posted:   Jun 30, 2016 - 4:07 AM     By:   hyperdanny   (Member) Just got my copy... FR version... Is anyone elses copy also defective? There are some "audio gaps" during 3:10-20 on my copy... with FR you mean the French edition? If so, yes, my copy too skips a couple times, luckily only during the one track I don't like (an IMHO dreadful arrangement with voice of Handel's Fireworks , not by Morricone) I always assumed that it was because i bought it used, but then maybe there more than that to it...    Posted:   Dec 12, 2016 - 11:12 PM     By:   eda-88   (Member) There are few suspense themes, they are unreleased on that VIRGIN CD. later i'll make video with them.     General Discussion: Morricones Vatel    < 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
