I'd love to see Fitz do a complete rerecording of HELEN OF TROY for either Tadlow or Prometheus. I'd also love to see Tribute come back and do Herrmann's ENDLESS NIGHT, for starters. if I win the lottery, I'll speak to those labels about these projects.    Posted:   May 26, 2018 - 3:41 PM     By:   .   (Member) I believe that James Fitz rerecorded a suite of HELEN OF TROY for a Steiner compilation CD, quite a few years ago. I recall James himself expressing dissatisfaction with the performance of that inadequate suite.    Posted:   May 26, 2018 - 5:05 PM     By:   haineshisway   (Member) I've had conversations with John Morgan about doing something close to both our little hearts - but it's just a massive job and I'm not quite sure how much we'd have to raise to do it properly.    Posted:   May 27, 2018 - 12:37 PM     By:   John Black   (Member) It's good to hear that John Morgan hasn't completely turned his back on future possibilities.

Well Intrada is giving Kickstarte a go, maybe TFC could to?    Posted:   Aug 13, 2018 - 12:51 PM     By:   Lokutus   (Member) I've had conversations with John Morgan about doing something close to both our little hearts - but it's just a massive job and I'm not quite sure how much we'd have to raise to do it properly. - rights related payment to the studio or music publisher (?) - reconstruction and parts preparation - traveling expenses to get to moscow + hotel, etc - orchestra, studio, engineers booking fees - conductor's fee - CD production costs + not only physical manufacture but also mastering, liner notes writer's and designer's fee + printing costs for the booklet and CD - costs to deliver couple hundred copies and other stuff to the contributors - probably little something extra for anyone crazy enough to keep track of everything. What else I am missing?    Posted:   Dec 5, 2018 - 11:47 AM     By:   Jerome Piroue   (Member) Personally, my selection would be Frank Capra's 1937 Columbia masterpiece, "Lost Horizon" by Dimitri Tiomkin. It remains among the most magnificent motion picture scores ever written. Charles Gerhardt's superb suite for the RCA film classics series was gorgeous, but the entire score is a monumental achievement and cries out for a modern full length orchestral recording. It's one of Tiomkin's most exquisite achievements. Steve +1. I have the BYU edition and, apart from the por sound quality, it's positively mesmerizing.    Posted:   Dec 5, 2018 - 12:03 PM     By:   Jerome Piroue   (Member) I'd like to add another title: GREEN DOLPHIN STREET Kaper's score is a classic and it's on many holy grail lists. We know the tapes are lost so there's no chance of a competing original-track release like what happened with OBSESSION. As you can see above ...many different titles being suggested...but that is exactly why many (most) of these will never be recorded as just not enough people out there that can agree on the same titles.... And that is exactly why all the titles that Luc chose for Prometheus and I chose for Tadlow were titles that we paricularly want to do for ourselves .... a matter if we were spending small fortunes we generally only chose music we really love. James, first of all: a public massive THANK YOU for enabling a dozen of us to attend the KoK recording sessions, and contribute significantly to a major Rozsa score release. Out of curiosity, could you share with us what actual sales you've had on your titles? Since you recently reissued "Secret Life of Sherlock Holmes" I imagne that was quite successful. For instance, how low or how high were the sales on some of your releases?    Posted:   Dec 8, 2018 - 12:06 PM     By:   Brianmcb   (Member) It's good to hear that John Morgan hasn't completely turned his back on future possibilities. I think that several people on this forum would contribute toward a Kickstarter campaign, if one were launched. As would I. 3 campaigns have met their targets, so I don't know why there is some hesitancy. Also could some costs be lowered by moving the recording to Prague? Tadlow won't be funding any more projects after KoK, so there's a great opportunity to use the orchestra.    Posted:   Dec 8, 2018 - 3:15 PM     By:   cody1949   (Member) It's good to hear that John Morgan hasn't completely turned his back on future possibilities.

Perhaps a new recording of THE NIGHT OF THE HUNTER is still a possibility.    Posted:   Dec 10, 2018 - 2:00 AM     By:   Jerome Piroue   (Member) It's good to hear that John Morgan hasn't completely turned his back on future possibilities.

Which is the third?    Posted:   Dec 10, 2018 - 5:20 AM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) Presumably Tadlow’s Moonraker, which met its funding goal before James Fitzpatrick cancelled it.

I didn't think Moonraker could be the third.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 11:24 AM     By:   orbital   (Member) Instead of hijacking Quartet's THE BRIDE WORE BLACK re-recording thread I copy/paste the latest news from Bill Stromberg right here... "Hi Everyone, Yes, I'm afraid Jim is right. I just found out about this recording yesterday and, although I'm happy for this team, I was a bit depressed because I wanted to record it next year. I think it would be foolish to do another one now. I'm sorry. I will be thinking of some other Herrmann scores, including Endless Night. No promises though. Bill" ...and hope that he considers the only Oscar-winning score from Herrmann as a possible contender for one of his re-recordings: THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER aka ALL THAT MONEY CAN BUY. That said I'll purchase any Herrmann score that Mr. Stromberg may or may not tackle.    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 11:30 AM     By:   .   (Member) I just found out about this recording yesterday and, although I'm happy for this team, I was a bit depressed because I wanted to record it next year. It's been eight years since the last recording hasn't it?    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 11:38 AM     By:   Yavar Moradi   (Member) ...and hope that he considers the only Oscar-winning score from Herrmann as a possible contender for one of his re-recordings: THE DEVIL AND DANIEL WEBSTER aka ALL THAT MONEY CAN BUY. The chances for that may not be great, as the team was planning to do exactly that, but changed their minds late in the game and switched to Battle of Neretva instead. I think the reason I heard from John Morgan was that The Devil and Daniel Webster was full of too many bitty cues and they just thought Neretva would come across better in complete form, but I may be misremembering and there may have been other considerations as well.

While available from FSM it is pretty much unlistenable in the current form. This one could truly shine in modern day recording. Or... forget Herrmann and Tiomkin's LOST HORIZON would be even more stunning... But I'll take anything    Posted:   Dec 12, 2018 - 9:08 PM     By:   PFK   (Member) It's good to hear that John Morgan hasn't completely turned his back on future possibilities.

Yes to NIGHT OF THE HUNTER ........... maybe ON DANGEROUS GROUND!    Posted:   Dec 13, 2018 - 1:05 AM     By:   Jerome Piroue   (Member) My two Kickstarter star candidates are MIKLOS ROZSA's JUNGLE BOOK: a classic title and one of Rozsa's unsung masterpiece, never released in proper soundtrack form (complete with good sound). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbwfAQtAVS0&t=79s KORNGOLD'S CAPTAIN BLOOD: Korngold's first movie masterpiece, never released in proper soundtrack form (complete with good sound). I love listening to Tsunami's archival edition, except for the sound that is ... tear inducing. Maybe a remastering of the original material with latest digital wizardry could work? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gMJBFXvCkvc     General Discussion: Tribute Film Classics & Kickstarter: Reboot?    << < 4 5 6 7  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3 4 5 6 7   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 5 6 7
