Since then, he has provided music for some 100 films, including “Laura,” “Forever Amber” and “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” Raksin has also composed scores for more than 300 television shows, including “The Day After,” as well as music for the stage and concert works. Now in his 50th year in the profession, Raksin began his career in film music when he assisted Charlie Chaplin with the music for “Modern Times” in 1935.
HONORS: David Raksin received the Award for Career Achievement of the Society for the Preservation of Film Music on June 18 at the Pavilion of the Music Center. Partnership negotiations will commence within the next two months, the joint announcement promises. Operating under an annual budget of $4 million, the Ohio company boasts an eclectic repertory of 44 ballets. I would get the Hanssler.The winning group, Cleveland Ballet, is a 9-year old, 37-member professional company under the artistic direction of co-founder Dennis Nahat, the former Joffrey and Ballet Theatre dancer and choreographer. There may be works you will want to supplement different recordings for but out of those two choices. Example: Musica Amphion’s Brandenburg Concertos are pretty pathetic compared to the Consort of London from Brilliant’s 2000 edition. There are little things like that, but on the whole it is a nice set.Īlso in the newer Brilliant Edition many of the major works are weaker in the newer release than they were in the older Brilliant release from 2000. The organ works were recorded by several different organists on several different organs where I would prefer them all recorded by the same person on the same organ. The Cello Suites and Solo Violin works in the Hanssler set are kind of weak and you might be better supplementing them with other recordings. The Gardiner set beats them both, but you will probably pay more for the Gardiner set of Cantatas than you will for either of these sets. The Cantatas are well done in both sets but Rilling probably does have the edge.
I have both sets and I would go with the Hanssler set.
