@jslasher1

Жыл бұрын

Goodwin had absolutely no input as to what cues from Walton's score were retained.

I recall the main reason for Walton's score being sidelined was that there wasn't anything like enough of it to fill an album, and therefore was a missed "commercial opportunity" for the producers. Even as an 9 year old watching the film for the first time, "Battle in the Air" leapt out of the screen, and made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. It stood apart from the rest of the score, although I didn't know why for many years. To hear it placed with the rest of his score is a joy, and yet Goodwin, with his powerful leitmotifs, also hugely contributes to the finished product we all know and love. In the end, the combination of two very different talents was a masterstroke of film scoring, but it's Walton's set piece which raises it to immortality.

All I can see is spitfires on fire in mind hearing this and seeing the movie 20 times on tv

One of the best war films ever made!

The use of this incredible masterpiece in the movie is breathtaking. The music tells the story with the only spoken words “Come in Blue 3?” No engines noises, no gun noises, just this piece of music describing the sheer terror those brave young aviators went through. Lest we forget.

It's wonderful to actually see how this magnificent music is made! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

They did this wonderful piece proud. That 'wait' at 09:50 makes me draw breath and stand still.

respect for the sitting crowd... there so much energy in this and I still see those Heinkels on fire from the movie, that I'd literally do some moshpit to see this live

I think an short 20 mins "epilogue' should have be included on its original theatrical showing in cinemas ! Now we can include it, or not our selves of course.

Film music which mostly never was.

As someone else has commented Ron Goodwin's replacement score written at short notice made it a very different film.

@@hotel3667 Wrong! All of Walton's score, with the sole exception of "Battle in the Air", which Malcolm Arnold conducted, was thrown out. "Battle in the Air" survived because Sir Lawrence Olivier informed the producers that he would have his name removed from the film credits if that cue was not retained. Later on, however, parts of the rejected Walton score were re-inserted for the film's re-release and the DVD as well.

No piece of music better conjures up a gaping endless sky and the pure terror and fear of aerial battle than this. The sense the apprehension and the confusion in the music is tangible, the immediacy of decision and instinct; the determination of faith the sheer gallant bravery of barely experienced young men on the edge of panic as they did their duty. So many young men - barely into manhood - experienced the absolute terror and the elation of battle thousands feet in the air with their survival being down to no more than sheer guts and a reliance on their machines. So thank God we had the Spitfire and the Hurricane, not to mention the Lancaster and others powered by the cutting edge of technology of the time, the Rolls Royce Merlin; and thank God too for the survival of the few, with never ending gratitude especially to those heroes who didn't make it!

For every epic film in those old days, there were many composers that were very good and whose music is unforgettable! I'm 70 years old at this writing and many movie soundtracks themes are ingrained in my brain's memory banks! I hope I never contract Alzheimer's disease because if that happens, all that beautiful music will be lost forever!

Walton was able to capture the dramatic essence of the films he wrote his music for. There are many stunning examples. I'm just delighted there are so many examples on KZread.

As the commentary said, Walton's score was dropped for the film, and only the first bit of the suite called "Battle in the Air" (I think) was used as accompaniment to the fiercest battle scene, depicting the climax of the Battle of Britain on 15th September. This was explained (deplored) years ago in a television programme about film music made with André Previn when he was based in London (70s?). So you will listen in vain for most of this if you watch the motion pic. The producers own fault, really.

I recall Previn's own mean words about popular MGM singer Kathryn Grayson in his autobiography and wondered then (and now) about their motivation, not least because she always pleased in her various film role performances for that famous studio..
