Having commented on the Game Of Thrones score in another thread got me pondering how wonderful it would be to see several classic console game scores orchestrated & performed by a full grand ensemble.
Zanac CastleVania (#1 and #2) M.U.S.H.A. MegaMan (#1 and #2)
Forget the funny little tunes played in concert by that travelling show, whose name I forget now. THESE scores are brilliant works that deserve to be shared in superior form.
1) Doctor Zhivago - Maurice Jarre 2) Sansom & Delilah - Victor Young 3) A Place In The Sun - Franz Waxman 4) The Ten Commandments - Elmer Bernstein 5) Farewell To Arms - Mario Nascimbene
Steiner's Helen of Troy. And also a remixed (or whatever it takes) edition of Conan the Barbarian. to cure or tame the overloaded passages I find unbearable.
Based on the sucessful Conan releases I'd love Morricone's Red Sonja and Hundra, both of which could be much improved in orchestra size, sound recording and performance.
Red Sonja remains very special to me as one of the more violent movies I watched at 11yrs old and one of the first In which the score made me enjoy the movie much more, even before I could realize that movie music would became my passion.
Didn't Tadlow say that QUO VADIS was going to be their last re-recording? Yes but then they released Hour of the Gun.
When James Fitzpatrick said that, he was referring to re-recordings on his own label. QUO VADIS and HOUR OF THE GUN were both recorded by Tadlow for Prometheus. Hopefully, however, we haven't seen the last Tadlow label re-recording.
