Especially ANNA RETURNS is beautifully written. A magical score by the sadly underrated George Fenton, who gets way too less scoring assignments nowadays.I feel he comes right onto the style of Patrick Doyle´s scoring. Great score by a great composer. Philipp    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 6:16 PM     By:   Steve Johnson   (Member) I have seen just about every incarnation of this property, from ANNA AND THE KING OF SIAM (1946), THE KING AND I (1956), the television series (caught a few eps in high school back in 1972) but not this one. It's a classic story, I'll have to check it out. I'm not familiar with this composer's work.    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 6:33 PM     By:   Southall   (Member) Yeah, a really beautiful score, quite dramatic too. I liked the hokey film too, but few others seemed to.    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 6:36 PM     By:   Steve Johnson   (Member) Yeah, a really beautiful score, quite dramatic too.

I don't recall why I didn't see it at some point other than overfamiliarization with the story.    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 7:14 PM     By:   SchiffyM   (Member) This is one of my favorite Fenton scores, maybe my favorite. Really good stuff.    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 7:25 PM     By:   Steve Johnson   (Member) This is one of my favorite Fenton scores, maybe my favorite. Really good stuff. It's a story that lends iteslf to a lush, exotic type score. That's why I'm intrigued by your recommendations. It'll have to go on the back burner for '07, though- I've spent a fortune on this stuff in the last 3 months.    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 7:51 PM     By:   TheSeeker   (Member) This score should have won the Oscar back in 1999/2000.    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 9:11 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) Damnit, can't find my old thread on this soundtrack. Like the score, lush and delicate.    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 9:32 PM     By:   Alex Klein   (Member) It's pretty good, though not among my favorites. It does bring me some memories...

Philipp    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 10:01 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) I got ya, Thor! Well, it's the damn broken search engine's fault, not mine... What happened with your 'scorechaser' nick, by the way?    Posted:   Dec 19, 2006 - 10:02 PM     By:   scorechaser   (Member) Well, it's the damn broken search engine's fault, not mine... What happened with your 'scorechaser' nick, by the way? I thought, why hide behind some stupid nick, you all know me...

I don't think I ever actually called you 'scorechaser'.    Posted:   May 4, 2013 - 2:06 PM     By:   edwzoomom   (Member) After I thought about the scores that George Fenton has done (Everafter being my favorite), I immediately thought of this one too. However, when I look at certain sites listing his works, Anna and the King does not come up. Am I missing something here? Why is that? I could very well be missing some factual info.    Posted:   May 5, 2013 - 5:49 PM     By:   dan the man   (Member) Always loved this score and although I found the vocal rendition of the main theme acceptable , I never thought it really did stand up to the beautiful theme.    Posted:   May 6, 2013 - 7:51 AM     By:   JohnnyG   (Member) After I thought about the scores that George Fenton has done (Everafter being my favorite), I immediately thought of this one too.

C'mon, give us their names - they need to be brought to justice...!    Posted:   Jun 2, 2015 - 2:23 PM     By:   Thomas   (Member) Picked up a copy of this CD in a charity shop a few days ago for pennies. Nice score, quite romantic and dramatic, with a mix of western and eastern themes. I also like the song. I've never seen the film however. It can stand next to the one other Fenton CD I own, 'Shadowlands'. Anyone any further impressions?    Posted:   Jun 2, 2015 - 2:28 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) No, I just have to echo what I said the last time thread was active -- a lush and gorgeous score that is one of my favourites (maybe my alltime favourite) of Fenton.    Posted:   Jun 2, 2015 - 4:51 PM     By:   paul rossen   (Member) Wonderful score.    Posted:   Jun 2, 2015 - 5:38 PM     By:   Solium   (Member) I had this back when it came out on cassette tape and thought it was boring as hell. Now don't strangle me, that was a long time ago! Tastes sometimes change. Today I love beautiful lush romantic scores so I'll have to seek this out again.     General Discussion: Anna and the King - George Fenton    < 1 2  > >>  Go to page:  1 2   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 2
