I thought Mycroft was taller and rough hewn gangly type from my reading

Watching Whitney sing so well and the reality of her death should enrage all good and reasonable folk to cease and desist any and all drug use. A terrible waste of a soul singer whose church upbringing could not save her. Where's the help for these people? They are in the hands of the devil ...

Elmer Bernstein was an extremely gifted composer esp of western themed music as has been alluded to but there's a grit quality to his music that mobilizes the mind into near heroic action which exactly matches the up tempo occurring simultaneously. This same mechanism used by Korngold,Jarre and W...

This woman is so refreshing and puts on no airs. She obviously has done much singing with her attacks,range and diction and no errors,quavers or breaks. Where has she been? Obviously in low volume clubs,pubs,or productions,probably appreciated but dismissed due to her appearance which can be e...

Hendrix was great at musical ranting but to older folks music like this is foreign and does not permit the remembrance of the music so that you hum it all day long as does the 50;s /thru 70;s music. This music overwhelms by the volume,beat and sometimes the lyrics of social controverses- Its ...

When your perfidious, you undoubtedly remember this song. Its a winner and has been performed by every band for a long while

This is lyrical and melodious and today has disappeared in large part. Can you name a current artist who creates their own music with a melody and message that instantly grabs your head and holds it through the song? Certainly none of the current batch. Trash rap evolved to appeal to grosser ins...

Despite the musical scat Parker somehow kept the tune intact,which you cannot say for everybody. There used to be a tribute to Byrd in the student union at Pitt .He went with the saints too early for my generation [ mid to late 50's] but fortunately he was recorded liberally and has been digitiz...

I thought this song was lost! very nice Mucho

This voice traveled through time and heaven which further transformed it into a bright angelic presence. Its not meant to be tampered with,only enhanced and mellowed by maturity. Talent like this is so rare and precious-mindful of Deanna Durbin

Somehow the music envelops the aura of the sea interposes itself among the characters. The first chapter of the book tells how Aubrey met Maturin at a private playing of Boccherini at the Admiral\s residence and the theme is born [not included in the movie]

O Sweet George searching for his Lord all of his life and finding it in hare krishna. His music says he found it

The unique quality of most music is that it can be enjoyed by not understanding the techiques or notations of the composer or the interpretation of the performer. It is enjoyed or not by the listener,each to his own . but once you have heard and witnessed a performance by Beethoven it sta...

To listen to Beethoven is to hear the passions of humankind. In the space of a few bars one is transported from serenity thru great joy,excited passion into contemplation and then remorse and great sorrow. A truly inspiring journey made even moreso by his hearing loss which I suspect is part of t...

talented but not ever a true phenomenon measured by the likes of sara brightman,maria callas or even some of the 40;s pop singers plus a livid ego driven spoiled personna doesn't help. ////////////////////////////////////there are many better in this regard but she has a place /mama Cass had ...

Ennio has great depth of field in composing with vocal adjuncts-actually quite rare today but used by Beethoven,Handel Bach et al It is effective to humanize the music and add feeling to the plot in this case when used as a score nice!!!

There is something almost magical in this music. Having grown up during the war the nostalgic feeling just permeates through as these chords are played. This plus the Andrew sisters ,Stafford and Bob Hope. It;s uncanny

Its the head on the wall thats so ridiculous, as though the animal ever had a chance shooting from a fortified blind or from 500 yards with power scopes for the tragic fragile ego just to brag his manhood. A real man respects the animals. The caressing of the gun as if they were warrior class...

The tumult of the sea is nicely depicted either a sea storm or a pitched battle followed by the intrepid calm and triumph-- very effective

For pure dynamic music that portends the American western frontier of lawlessness,bravery and triumph in the saddle this score is unequaled but the Son's of Katie Elder approaches it. You can guess that both were scored by Elmer Bernstein and compare with Rhinegold'sKing's Row

Bennett has scored this as a synopsis of the themes in the individually themed compositions and he does it with aplomb. Not many can do this today it seems but I get the impression he was somehow greatly inspired by the greatest generation and rightfully so. We older folks recall the war as young...

The music is intuitive ,somehow it captures the majestic battle themes combined with sorrow and then victorious triumph all the while it somehow keeps a military motif. It reeks of pride and hard won campaigns. And always it inspires thanks to Mr Bennett

Wow!!! All the mem'ries come flooding back from the 50's what a terrible cultural loss when the big bands were forced from the scene by the economics of the period Certainly there must be someone to restart the music of the greatest generation
