Review: Kreisler and Strausses at the Hollywood Bowl
Review: Long-neglected music gets a fresh L.A. Phil spin at the Hollywood Bowl. The Los Angeles Times, Sept. 7, 2016.
Great moments in film music: ‘Yojimbo’
Electric guitar and harpsichord, major vs. minor and heavy percussion. Music by Masaru Sato (and worthy of Ennio Morricone). The opening titles to “Yojimbo” (“Bodyguard,” remade as “A Fistful of Dollars”), directed by Akira Kurosawa and starring Toshiro Mifune.
Great moments in film music: ‘The Third Man’
Closing sequence. Zither music played by Anton Karas.
Great moments in film music: ‘North by Northwest’
Titles by Saul Bass. Music by Bernard Herrmann. Watch for Hitchcock at the end — he misses the bus.
Bartok: Piano Concerto No. 2, – 1. Allegro
Maurizio Pollini, piano. Claudio Abbado conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra.
Great moments in film music: ‘The Big Country’
Opening titles by Saul Bass, music by Jerome Moross.
Great moments in film music: ‘Once Upon a Time in the West’ (The Duel)
Music by Ennio Morricone, of course. Notice the play of major and minor harmonies, worthy of Schubert. The clip ends, appropriately, in pure dissonance.
