TheCircus Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Does anyone else love listening to orchestral arrangements? I do.Here are my favourites;Shawshank Redemption - Thomas Newman - Youtube Example of Newmans work (specifically 3:02 to the end of the video are my favourites)Man On Fire/ Metal Gear Solid - Harry Gregson Williams - I also LOVE Michael Giacchino's work on the film Cloverfield (the only song on the film - ) and also his score to Lost is incredible, in particular 'Parting Words' on the season 1 soundtrack - Youtube Parting Words link)In terms of arrangements not off of film I like Shostakovich (in particular his Andante concerto - Youtube)YOU!Show me your favourites! Try to include a youtube link for great justice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robwalker Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Great film and an amazing soundtrack to go with it, From 5.40ish onwards is where it is best, although not the best version ive heard. My Girlfriends in Kent Youth Wind Orchestra, havnt heard her play this piece live but would love to one day. Not sure what film its from, must have featued in a few but a great piece by far.Ride of the Valkyries... I could go on and on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroMatt Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 (edited) I really love John Williams' original Superman theme.Maurice Jarre with the Lawrence of Arabia theme is amazing.Really like one of the Batman pieces but can't seem to find it anywhereI also really love the Deep Purple and LSO Concerto for group and orchestra piece, found a few bits on youtube but if anyone wants the full 53 min version pm me took me a few months to find it.TheCircus I hadn't heard that Shawshank Redemption stuff or that Lost bit, both are really quite brilliant.

Kamen did the Die Hard series and alot of work with Pink Floyd.Ah yes, Michael Kamen is awesome. He also did the Band of Brothers score, which was the incredible, as well as writing and conducting the entire orchestral part of Metallica's S&M - again, incredible.

Mr Plod Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Michael Kamen! Without a doubt the Band of Brothers soundtrack is one of the most listened to albums on my media player! Truly soothing and just beautiful. Example oneExample two <--- Gives me goosebumps every time I listen to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicP Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Harry Gregson WilliamsJust possibly one of the best composers ever maybe?NicP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F-Stop Junkie Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Are we talking scores specifically written for film and TV, or just classical music used in them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendrix Posted March 3, 2008 Report Share Posted March 3, 2008 Most of David Arnolds Stuff. Especially the new james bond score with the electronica feel behind it.And naturally, ALL of Williams stuff, because he is just, the best in my opinion (: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you want to make a thread about classical music used in tv shows?I didn't think so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
