OT Battle of Britain DVD score - seriously!
I don't believe it!
A while back I started a thread about favorite soundtracks. Someone wrote / and I replied: Quote:
Naval Battle by Miklos Rozsa from the Ben Hur soundtrack Battle of the Air by Sir William walton from the Battle of Britain soundtrack (Can I get more obscure?) And a curious story about the Battle of Britain soundtrack. walton was commissioned to score the film, which he did. But when he went to the premiere found that Battle of the Air was the only thing left in - Ron Goodwin (who'd done 633 Squadron) had been asked to replace the rest. I don't see how walton could have been totally in the dark about it, but that's the story I heard. I'd love to hear the score as walton wrote it, as Battle of the Air is brilliant. A very classy composition. To me this William Walton soundtrack to the film has achieved a certain mythic status. Did it ever really exist even? Would the original 1969 recording still be intact? I would so love to heard it. But now it's been ressurected, remixed in 5.1, and put on a new DVD release of the film! I'm stunned. I can't wait. We now get a chance, on a major feature, to hear how two different composers have scored a film. Amazon link here OK, since this forum works real magic - next I want to hear John Crook's score for the original 1918 J.M.Barrie stage production of Peter Pan, complete with Golden Slumbers as later featured on the Beatles' Abbey Road. And what about Ridley Scott's Legend with the original Tangerine dream score? |

I Just got these responses from Aaryk Noctivagus ([email protected]), a composer but not a PT user, in another forum
