William Walton - Film Music Volume 2 (Academy of St.Martins in the Fields, Neville Marriner) [repost] Music

Posted by tapaz9 at June 28, 2012

William Walton - Film Music Volume 2 (Academy of St.Martins in the Fields, Neville Marriner) [repost]
Classical | EAC: FLAC+Cue+Log | 1 Cd, Cover+Booklet | 461 Mb
Label: Chandos - Date: 1990

After the success of the first volume of Walton's film music, producer Christopher Palmer switches focus from Shakespeare to the theme of war. Of course, the justifiably famous "Spitfire Prelude and Fugue" is an obligatory inclusion. Assembled from Walton's music for First of the Few (1942), a biopic about aircraft designer R. J. Mitchell, "Spitfire" was an immediate concert hall success and is presented here in a grand performance. The enterprising Palmer also assembled "A Wartime Sketchbook," a world premiere compendium of selections from The Foreman Went to France (1941) and Next of Kin (1942).

Oh! What a Lovely War Movies

Posted by at Aug. 31, 2023

Oh! What a Lovely War (1969)
Satire about the First World War based on a stage musical of the same name, portraying the "Game of War" and focusing mainly on the members of one family (last name Smith) who go off to war. Much of the action in the movie revolves around the words of the marching songs of the soldiers, and many scenes portray some of the more famous (and infamous) incidents of the war, including the assassination of Duke Ferdinand, the Christmas meeting between British and German soldiers in no-mans-land, and the wiping out by their own side of a force of Irish soldiers newly arrived at the front, after successfully capturing a ridge that had been contested for some time.
