This is a comments thread about FSM CD: Between Heaven and Hell/Soldier of Fortune |

It's just amazing to me how some scores I HAVE to see the film to enjoy. These scores, I didn't. Friedhofer can write "love music" that manages to be pretty and unexpected in way that was his and pretty much nobody else's. Wow.

Oh yes, I'm on a Friedhofer binge at the moment, and this CD is indeed excellent. He brought so much psychological depth to his scores, so they work their magic on you on many different levels. BETWEEN HEAVEN AND HELL is discussed in detail in the "The Art of Film Music" by George Burt, along with other scores by Raksin, Rosenman and North. Maybe that's what I was really trying to get at in that other thread - it's not that the above-mentioned composers often sounded alike, it's more that they all seemed to treat the characters and situations in a very profound way - or at least that's what I pick up on, but then we're back to how each listener responds. Whatever, I love this CD, and I'm glad others do too.
