Symphonic Soundtracks
Noord Nederlands Orkest conducted by Dirk Brossé - De Oosterpoort
Program Info: From Captain Marvel to James Bond: iconic film music that can make or break a film sounds even more impressive live.
Music can make or break a movie. Movie music can be extremely good. And you can really hear that at a live performance. Some soundtracks are so orchestral that they seem to have been made for the concert hall.
That certainly applies to the epic, heroic music that Pinar Toprak wrote for the Captain Marvel2019 Captain Marvel film adaptation. This sounds like a medley of highlights. Two other composers, Rachel Portman and Debbie Wiseman , created a wonderfully romantic sound world for Chocolat and Oscar Wilde respectively, two atmospheric films that owed their success strongly to the music. Alan Silvestri's closing music for Forrest Gump is a classic tearjerker, in Elmer Bernstein's Magnificent Seven theme the sound of old Hollywood revives. And of course there are well-known ' signature themes ', such as those of Superman , Mission Impossible and James Bond Needless to say, such music is a joy for the orchestra members to play - so even without a film, there is still plenty to see.
On the repertoire: James Horner - Braveheart Howard Shore - The Lord of the Rings Elmer Bernstein - The Magnificent Seven Alan Silvestri - Forrest Gump Howard Shore - Hugo Klaus Badelt - Pirates of the Caribbean Rachel Portman - Chocolat John Barry / Monty Norman - James Bond Lalo Schifrin - Mission Impossible Pinar Toprak - Captain Marvel Debbie Wiseman - Oscar Wilde Hans Zimmer / Lisa Gerrard - Gladiator John Williams - Superman
