maybe is that awful cover... who knows
It's the original LP cover...quite possibly contractually mandated as this is a reissue.
Oh, interesting. I'll check him out. Odd i'd never even heard of him in passing. Ta.
My pleasure! I guess he's sadly not as remembered as he used to be a decade or two ago. I heard a neat piece of his live at the Colorado Symphony a month back, though.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morton_Gould
He was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Grammy in 2005, a regular Grammy in 1966 for conducting a recording of Ives's first symphony, and a Pulitzer Prize for his composition Stringmusic in 1995. His most famous feature film score is Windjammer (he's only dabbled in film), though I think his work on the Holocaust miniseries is greater (try the samples; I'm curious if you'll like them).

Never heard of the series, but I liked the soundbites enough to buy this.

I am trying to avoid you. Take a look at my sentence that begins with the words " once in a while". I promise I will not respond to any further comment from you. You are still a P ... A..
I don't know what that last bit means Cody, but it seems like you're perhaps hurling an insult of some kind ("pissant"? "piece of ass"? okay...I got nothin'), which I do believe is against the rules of the board.
To be honest I can't even remember what I did to anger you so (was it one of the times I explained why I didn't like Tiomkin? No matter...) But avoid away, if that's what you feel the need to do (there's even a "block" function on this board, if you never want to see one of my posts). I'll still call you out when I feel you're being unreasonable, and if you're going to ignore me so be it. I saw your "once in a while" caveat near the end, but you lead your post with,
"I agree with you, but I am not surprised at this happening now. Remember...prominent labels are now catering to the comic-con generation to stay in business." <-- this in response to a poster denigrating releases by Williams, Cacavas, Schifrin, and Kamen as "bright and shiny new toys"...three of those scores are over four decades old, and the most recent one is *three* decades old! These composers are not remotely part of "what is wrong with film music today", so your negativity and grumpy old man act (griping about "the comic-con generation") is pretty misplaced here.
Y'know, there's no reason we couldn't be allies, considering I love the Golden Age as much as you do (if not all the same composers), despite being part of that generation you seem to despise so much. And in general, one attracts more flies with honey than with vinegar, as the saying goes (I love honey, but I think a nice balsamic might win out, with me). Why continue the negativity? What purpose does it serve (unless you enjoy offending the label heads with your complaints?) That's NOT how you're going to win over more listeners to the kind of music you like (and want to see more releases of). Some of these young whippersnappers (I can say that now because I'm in my 30s, right?) who get super excited about the latest TV superhero score releases just MIGHT take a chance on a Golden Age release, sometime...but I think that's less likely if they see Golden Age lovers like yourself constantly putting down "the comic-con generation". Something like, "Gee...if he really hates the music I love this much, then our tastes are probably so different that I'm unlikely to enjoy the things he's always talking enthusiastically about." Food for thought, perhaps. I'm not saying you have to agree with them, taste-wise...but maybe lighten your attitude, a little bit.

I find it a shame ... If folks would just pause a moment to take note of something extraordinary, as opposed to... bright and shiny new toys.
The condescending shaming routine is likely to be counterproductive.

Long-windedness is definitely one of my weak points...you perfectly encapsulated what I took a paragraph to say into a single sentence. Kudos.

I am going to disregard my first post about avoiding replying to you this one time. " Professor " Yavar don't ever tell me what opinions I should not post. Perhaps you were raised in an authoritarian house. I am proud to say I wasn't.

I've had a HOLOCAUST cd -- identical cover art, presumably identical content -- for many years now, and it's stashed here somewhere. I wish I could lay my hands on it and take a fresh look at it: If it's a b**t, I never recognized it as such.
