In Reply to: Anyone picked up on some great music from a flic they've seen? posted by edta on April 27, 2004 at 20:08:08:
I was introduced to Tchaikovsky's Orchestral Suites Nos 1 and 2 in THE MUSIC LOVERS. The Scherzo Burlesque (sometimes called Scherzo Humoristique) from No. 2 is used during the opening sequence, complete with the original accordion part, and the Marche Miniature from No. 1 is heard later on, at a pivotal moment in the story. My CD is by the National Symphony Orchestra of Ireland conducted by Stefan Sanderling on Naxos, which I can certainly recommend. (In my opinion, it's also a great film.)Nyman's soundtracks from DRAUGHTMANS'S CONTRACT, A ZED AND TWO NOUGHTS and THE COOK, THE THEIF, HIS WIFE AND HER LOVER. I haven't been very impressed with what little of his non-film music I've heard so far (eg Time Will Pronouce)... any recommendations would be welcome
My first impetus to explore THE MAGIC FLUTE came as a result of seeing AMADEUS when it came out.
My first exposure to Ligeti was 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY; I have since picked up a vinyl recording on DGG's Collector Series that includes "Lux Aeterna". I also loved the way Kubrick used Bartok in THE SHINING, though I find a lot of Bartok's music difficult to appreciate as absolute music (I *love* BLUEBEARD'S CASTLE and really wish BB had written more operas!)
