The Big Picture (Audio CD)

Customer Review

In the area of ​​the film image, there have been so different formats. The extremely breitleinwandige image of cinemascope format, for example, which is obtained by projecting three frames (quasi a triptych à la Hollywood). Or fine grained 70mm film image, the more detail shows than the conventional 35mm image. Are also in the field of film music's small screen sizes (Philip Glass) and large formats (John Williams).

Although Erich Kunzel makes itself no pictures, but he makes prints of images, and are generally at least as large as the respective original. The Repro-Technik of the label "Telarc" thereby ensures that details are displayed clearly visible. In other words, Kunzel stands for bombastic sounding arrangements of popular themes from symphonic film music, and Telarc ensures that the conducting of Kunzel Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra sounds plastic and transparent on CD.

Still another way: Who has a sense of symphonic film music, but rarely "the CD for the film" represents the shelf in their completeness, will take place in CD store large number of film music compilations which offer less quality for the money, but few, the courses in the United Kunzel Telarc-collaborations. Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops create something that few succeed: her new recordings are the original par - if not even a little bit better (it was because Kunzels arrangement still gives a piece a little more oomph, either because the Kunzel / Telarc recording is the original sound far superior).

As far as not quiet grandeur comes in the titles of CDs of Kunzel and the Cincinnati "Pops" to express the "Mega Movies," "The Great Fantasy Adventure Album" or also called just "The Big Picture". The items are, you would suspect, fairly interchangeably, and "The Big Picture" you could also miss another title with which it is ideally sometimes even a slightly better picture of the could have done, what to expect on the CD ,

Or is that really may not be needed? Anyone who buys a CD from Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops, may actually primarily interested in the special Kunzel sound as it, have been prescribed because Kunzel treatment which topics: the US audience for the Kunzels CDs primarily might be thought, is probably quite fast establish an association to legendary combination "Arthur Fiedler & The Boston Pops", and thus is actually quite a lot said.

Would Erich Kunzel import along with the Cincinnati Pops a CD of brand "Symphonic Rock", then would the result certainly significantly more scar than the often strange bloodless sounding publications of the mark "VSOP" ("Vienna Symphony Orchestra Project") or similar musical experiments , the Old Europe can look really old.

That "The Big Picture" has found its way into my collection, mainly has the selection portion that you have for "The Big Picture" taken: the main theme of "Speed", for example, I have liked wanted to have on CD - an entire CD with the main theme (which would have been the regular soundtrack, which would not just bribed by thematic diversity as the main theme is the musical accompaniment to approximately every second scene) would then probably become boring to me. Similarly, I went with the rest of the topics on "The Big Picture": I like a lot of James Horner's film scores, to "Apollo 13" but had not stayed with me as particularly memorable in my mind.

Also Kunzels version of the main theme to "Cutthroat Iceland", for me the highlight of the CD, has me far enough - although I'm not quite sure if I so do not do the composer John Debney evil injustice, for his wildly romantic score for his time in Cinema was spectacular and not entirely undeserved Flooded "Cutthroat Island" and is for me one of the most spectacular cases in which a mediocre film offers a very excellent soundtrack, since James Horner soundtrack to "Krull" (1983): Who "Krull" looks, sees an (often involuntarily funny) Fantasyfilmchen - who only hears "Krull", sees in his mind's eye a fantastic film, suddenly nothing seems small and insignificant in the.

Great to -spurig comes the rest of the subjects. Another prime example: Hans Zimmer's music for "Crimson Tide", the sounds you really have three nautical miles against the wind that in the film only to submarines to big, patriotic feelings, probably around the Ancient Mariner (the conclusion of the piece forms the chorale "Eternal Father, Strong to Save", at least the US audiences means: It's all about seafaring, possibly go to distress) - and that this is probably also one of those masked propaganda films, which the US Department of Defense has its Consulting and blessing not denied.

In between, there's, at that the whole story is not choking on their own size, every now and then a sound effect of times more ("Bovine Barnstorm"), sometimes less whimsically fails ("F 16 Fighter Squadron"): Hie lets the hurricane suddenly really the cow fly across the room, there stands out the bomber squadron and makes sure that it is really serious for the domestic boxing. And what is "Apollo 13" before Horner's music served as a little appetizer? A deafening rocket launch (note - here you should, if not consideration for the neighbors, but then at least take on your own speakers), followed by probably the most legendary understatement in the history of radio communications: Houston, we've had a problem.

R Ü mee

"The Big Picture" is one of my favorite albums of the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Erich Kunzel, the longest a kind Herbert Karajan is the soundtrack for me. For the CD conductor and arranger Kunzel has chosen with good hand a number of issues, form the ideal templates for the new versions in the typical, powerful sound Kunzel.

"The Big Picture" is recommended equally for film music newbies who want to get Heine taste of the orchestral works of some of the most famous film music composer, without having to buy the same the complete soundtrack to the film, such as for hi-disciples who are looking for CDs are, which can be power amplifier and speakers consider its paces.
