I just recently discovered this non-film album from Rona, apparently written to accompany the 2008 Olympic regatta in Beijing. And wow -- totally blown away. It's big and bold and orchestral; like an adventure film that never was. And also delightfully old school. Calling is a 'suite' is a stretch, since it's one whole HOUR of music, but great regardless.
This score actually reminds me of Basil Poledouris, in its big brassy brilliance and epic scale. It's just brimming with excitement and adventure. I'd forgotten all about it, but found a CD copy of it while rummaging in the car, and was amazed by its sheer excellence.
