I seem to remember that Laurence Rosenthal used well over a hundred players for Meteor, but it doesn't "sound" larger than a standard movie orchestra.
FYI, The orchestra for METEOR was at it's largest around 65 players, no more.

I don't have the liner notes on hand, but I recall "The Day After Tomorrow" having well over 100+ players. The most information that was available was a review (Scorereviews.com) saying the notes listed 160.
Confirmed. The liner notes credit exactly 160 musicians. I don't know whether there were ever that many actually performing at any one time though. The notes credit two concert masters, and numerous principals for each instrument.

Well, thank you Ford. I would not argue with such an authority as yourself (life's too short). However, the fragment of memory persists. False perhaps. I've no idea where I read it. It was a long time ago.
I have to say there's something remarkably and paradoxically uniformative about your "FYI" and "IYHO" and "IMHO" type replies. You do realise that they rub people up the wrong way don't you? It's not the information (true or false), it's the manner of presentation. There's always a lingering hint of "fuck you" about them. I'm sure you don't mean it that way. However, those backdoor epithets never fail to make the corner of my eye twitch. Briefly. I make allowances. Even so...
I like your work, Ford, and we may even get on in person (perhaps we've actually met in the thin corridors of Silva Screen past), but god knows I'd hesitate to work with you.
FYI, I received the Lifeforce CD a couple of days ago. Superb album. My sincerest thanks to Mr Banning, Mr Nelson and yourself for bringing this stunning piece of Mancini (and Kamen) history into being. And you may take that without the merest hint of a twitch in the eye.
Happy Xmas and all the best for '07
And please, don't follow this with "next" or "fanboy". It's Christmas for Christ's sake.
