Comments? Suggestions? Marriage proposals?

Notable by his absence is Elfman, despite the fact that I have over half his scores in my collection. However, the only score pieces I could think of are in A Simple Plan, where the piano needs tuning, and Dolores Claiborne, where the pieces are mostly short and/or very depressing. Am I forgetting something?

Thanks.

EMI just signed some guy named 'Maksim'. A Croatian or Serbian or whatever (it's not like anyone can tell the difference, as long as the question of religion is not brought up).

His new album is set to include Ernest Gold's theme from Exodus, along with other piano cues, by Jeff Wayne and contemporary Balkan Hornertypehack Tonci Huljic.

More info there: http://www.emiclassics.com/phpNewSite/news/news.php

But I cannot allow the absence of the three Poles who've written some of the finest piano cues in the last 15 years:

Zbigniew Preisner - material from Blue, Double Life of Veronique and The Secret Garden.

Wojciech Kilar - Love Remains and The Kiss from Portrait of a Lady, Paulina's Theme from Death and the Maiden, and Vocalise from The Ninth Gate.

Jan Kaczmarek - Some of his sterling piano writing from Unfaithful should suffice.

NP Octopussy (Barry)

*hm... how many post till I get an oscar...*

As long as you have included Rachmaninov's third piano concerto which is not original film score, I also think the second concerto could be included. Personally I prefer both the 1st and the 2nd movements from that concerto over that wonderful Rach 3 movement. I believe both these movements appeared in the movie "Brief encounter" which would qualify them to be on your album. Another wonderful Rachmaninov piece is the "Rhapsody on a theme by Paganini" which is included on Barry's "Somewhere in time" CD.

With "Being John Malkovich" I would rather have used "Puppet love" than "Craig's overture". I think "Puppet love" is much better plus I don't really consider "Craig's overture" a piano piece, since the strings are the dominant part which carries the melody while the piano really only play the same three notes over and over again.

One of my favorite scores of the 90's is for the German/Hungarian film "Gloomy sunday", and is composed by Detlef Friedrich Petersen. The wonderful pieces; "Gloomy sunday" & "Andras spielt" would fit perfectly on your album.

Other pieces I would have used, if I were to make such an album, would be the following;

Ennio Morricone-Fatti di gente perbene-L'addio tra Linda e Tullio
Ennio Morricone-Gli occhiali d'oro-Gli occhiali d'oro
Ennio Morricone-Il bandito dagli occhi azzurri-Madre assente(short version)
Ennio Morricone-Il deserto dei Tartari-La casa e la giovinezza
Ennio Morricone-L'eredità ferramonti-Ricordo d'amore
Ennio Morricone-La dame aux Camélias-La dame aux Camélias
Francis Lai--Love story-Theme from 'Love story'(Finale)
Georges Delerue-Crimes of the heart-Meg
Michael Gore-Terms of endearment-Theme from 'Terms of endearment'
Miklos Rozsa-Providence-Valse crepuscolaire
Philip Glass-Candyman-It was always you, Helen
Stefan Nilsson-Martin Beck-Huvudtema
Stefan Nilsson-Pelle Erovraren-Mot den nya världen
Stefan Nilsson-Skärgårdsdoktorn-Wilmas tema
Yann Tiersen-Amélie-Comptine d'un autre été

TDOGL would be close to track 1 on CD 1 for me!

Even though it just has a short piano cue at the very beginning, it's still a great piece. Something to consider...

I have even had the pleasure of meeting the pianist for this score, Cynthia Millar, so this came to mind almost right away.

And welcome to the board

Very true - the piano intro is wonderful. I only left it out becuase after the first few seconds there's no more piano.

Admittedly, Volume 1 is way too heavy on the Williams, but that was originally a compilation for my then-girlfriend so I left it as it was (see first post). othwerise I tried to spread the composers out equally.

Interesting observation - Patrick Doyle doesn't have many piano cues, though apparently his latest offering (Calendar Girls) is piano-heavy.

Other omissions I might include in a volume 5:
X2 (Life Goes On, The Lake)
Flubber
Wilde
The Terminator (Love scene)

and more as they are released....
