Which recording is this?

[LucasSpade]

Andre Previn recording on the Previn Conduct Korngold recording the one with the Sea Hawk on picture on the front. Nice recording, but the Sea Hawk one is missing the rousing choir for the Sea Hawk main theme.

The Adventures of Robin Hood and Captain Blood are two of my favorite film scores (and films)... Thanks for posting!!!

[LucasSpade]

Glad to, love them myself, eventually one of these days I'd like to get these things done to some good clips from the films. Got to get some better software to work with. Korngold rocks as far as I am concerned though.

A fantastic score for the best damn pirate movie ever made.

Erich Wolfgang Korngold was the last of the great late classical composers. We'll never see his like again.

I'm sorry that one of our best Korngold uploaders has been quiet lately. I wish him my best.

This gives you an essence of Korngold's genius. Crank it up.

@tripsadelica AMEN !!!!

[Dion1957]

Korngold could not find a job today. He would refuse to do music for silly comedies and cartoons.

[tripsadelica]

Korngold, dear Korngold! Please come back and reincarnate into a young Hollywood composer. Hollywood needs you! It has become tone deaf and tv and film scores have become a series of banal tones of nothingness. Goldsmith has died, Williams is now quite old. Soon there will be no one left of the great age of Hollywood music.

When you think about a sea-faring, swashbuckling film and what you'd like to hear, listen no further. Just replay and turn up the volume.

@SharpWalkers No, I think modern composers get a little too rhythmic at times. This piece flows and has free form accentuating the genre it's supposed to adorn, all the while adding flourishes that accent characters and situations that will be found in the film.

To me, modern composers don't do too many character themes, much less weave those into the larger piece.

I really love this music. I like other scores, but this has classic grandeur :)

[SharpWalkers]

@Capt777harris Really? Not the incredible expansive Lord Of The Rings? Or The Village with it's stunning violin solo's and open flutes? Or the beautiful lushness of Dance with Wolves? Or the smooth Jazz soundtrack of Catch Me If You Can?.. Get a grip.

[Capt777harris]

I love this music. It has a life that no modern soundtrack has. It truly is magnificent. It harkens back to the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Very stirring.
