As I understand it, the only decent DVD version of Revolution is Hudson's "Revisited" cut, which makes numerous changes, notably lopping off the happier, if improbable ending sequence. Well, for those interested, breace thyselfs, for the BFI are releasing the Goldcrest-busting film on blu-ray, with all the DVD extras - and with both versions! http://www.blu-ray.com/news/?id=8222 So, for those like me who've always wanted to see it with additional Kinski, and with the beautiful final cue that Corigliano wrote - included on the CD, but not in the currently available version of the film - this is really great news.    Posted:   Mar 9, 2012 - 7:45 PM     By:   sprocket   (Member) deleted.    Posted:   Jul 4, 2015 - 12:38 AM     By:   Josh   (Member) I'm spinning this again right now on the eve of the Independence Day holiday here in the USA and reminded of what a fantastic and powerful score it is. There are no jubilant John Philip Sousa marches to be found, and it's definitely not the best choice to set the mood for the backyard family barbecue, but it's certainly worth a listen any day of the year for Corigliano's emotionally engaging interpretation of the horrors of war and its effects on the human condition. I was astonished to see that there are new copies available on the amazon marketplace for only $2.99: http://www.amazon.com/Revolution-John-Corigliano/dp/B0032NNKOA    Posted:   Jul 4, 2015 - 1:28 AM     By:   spook   (Member) You just prompted me to pick this up Josh. Always meant to and at that price i'd be stupid not to. Shame how the ridiculous international shipping costs wipe out these great wee bargains though. About 3 dollars for the cd and 15 for shipping!    Posted:   Jul 4, 2015 - 2:02 AM     By:   Josh   (Member) You won't regret it, spook. Moviemars has copies on ebay for $3.50 plus $8 int'l shipping if that eases the sting a bit (and if it's not too late to cancel the amazon order): http://www.ebay.com/itm/Revolution-Corigliano-John-1-disc-New-CD-/291493383748?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43de5c0e44    Posted:   Sep 16, 2018 - 7:11 AM     By:   Hurdy Gurdy   (Member) Listening to ALTERED STATES invariably led me onto giving this score another spin.* As someone says above, it's a REAL film score. Sounds like someone got their hands dirty while writing it. The Children's (Love?) Theme has that sad, melancholic air to it that recalls the ALTERED STATES Love Theme. The Fox Hunt cue is great. I struggle a bit with the War Lament and the woman singer in the track near the end, but in the main, it's a solid old-school film score that they're really not allowed to write any more. *Red Violin and Edge Of Darkness are sure to follow.    Posted:   Sep 16, 2018 - 8:11 AM     By:   alamobob2007   (Member) I'm probably on this thread somewhere already - but I'll chime in again, I hated this film when first released but found the 'director's cut' a revelation. I was able to get by all my initial objections. And the CD? It's incredible and I concur with whoever just said it's not your typical afternoon BBQ 4th of July fare - but what an evocation of the depth of the conflict and struggle.     General Discussion: NEW VARESE: REVOLUTION (John Corigliano)    << < 2 3 4  >   Go to page:  1 2 3 4   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 3 4
