OMG

Barry i Kirk Douglas w rolach głównych w reklamie kawy Maxim z 94 r, plus score z reklamy autorstwa Barryego (aranżacja tematu z "My Life"). W drugiej częsci druga wersja reklamy - tym razem zamiast "aktora" Barryego jest "aktor" John Frankenheimer!

Hans Zimmer Remembers Composer JOHN BARRY (1933-2011)
[Courtesy of TIME Magazine]

When I heard that John had died January 30 at 77, I instantly recalled his tune for THE QUILLER MEMORANDUM, which is probably not one of his better-known scores. I can remember where I was when I first heard it, much as I can remember where I was the first time I heard his music for BORN FREE.

Here's the thing: I cannot remember the stories of those movies in detail, but I remember the tunes. Sometimes the reason we have such deep and lasting emotional connections to movies is the music, and everything that made the mood of those movies work was from John. The melody is what keeps you tied to a movie forever, and he wrote some of the greatest melodies.

My favorites are more obscure than OUT OF AFRICA, DANCES WITH WOLVES or the James Bond films scores for which he was so famous. I will admit, though, that we looked at ON HER MAJESTY'S SECRET SERVICE when we were doing Inception and were just blown away by the musical innovation. I loved HAMMETT and the way John created a melancholic and nostalgic sense of time and place. I also loved ZULU; the whole score is based on one short motif, so strong and so bold.

Like the work of all good composers, everything John wrote was elegant and came from his own point of view. He was a Yorkshire man, and even in his brightest work, you could always see the moors and the fog. Even his cheeky stuff had an underlying darkness.

John was part of a particular era in London, an era when the city had so much to say to the world. Ridley Scott would tell me how he used to hang out at John's recording sessions. He'd say, "Wow, John Barry's doing a session. Maybe we can sneak in and hear something." But for me, it was more like, "Maybe I can sneak in and learn something." I learned from him that moody is good. There haven't been that many deserving film-music legends. John truly was one of them.

John Barry died on Sunday, and I wanted to take an opportunity to mourn the loss of one of the greatest composers in motion picture history.

The first time I attended the Oscars was in 1991, where my then wife, Kim Basinger, and I were asked to present the Oscar in the category of best original score, which went to Barry for Dances With Wolves. It was a great thrill for me, as I had long admired John's scores and who, at that point, had already received four Oscars (Two for Born Free, both score and song, The Lion in Winter and Out of Africa.)

Barry's career is a phenomenon. John is often cited as the composer of legendary songs and scores for the James Bond films. Beginning with earlier Bond films like Dr. No and From Russia With Love to his most memorable titles like Goldfinger, Thunderball and Diamonds Are Forever, to collaborations with rock artists like Duran Duran on A View to a Kill, Barry's music is as much a component of the Bond legend as Ian Fleming himself, and Bond actors like Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnan. You can play just the first two notes of the arrangement of Goldfinger and know right away that Shirley Bassey's famous vocals are coming.

Barry, however, is also responsible for clearly what are some of the most gorgeous, sensitive and ultimately effective scores in movie history. Films like Seance on a Wet Afternoon, Midnight Cowboy, Inside Moves, Body Heat, Frances, The Cotton Club and Indecent Proposal, all elevated by John's contribution.

In a career of such breadth, it's hard to pick a favorite. Yet, I actually can name one, and easily. Finding an appropriate musical complement to the story of Isak Dinesen and her romance with both Kenya and Denys Finch Hatton to accompany the work of Meryl Streep and Robert Redford, cinematographer David Watkin and writer Kurt Luedtke, and Sydney Pollack's incredible direction, is Barry's greatest achievement. John's score for Out of Africa is extraordinary. My favorite movie score of all. Ever.

The great John Barry passed on Sunday on Long Island. Thanks to him for his magnificent contributions to film.

Unikatowy dokument-podziękowania, który puszczony był w tv tylko raz w 99 r, o całej karierze Barryego nakręcony w 99 roku specjalnie z okazji otrzymania przez Barryego od Królowej tytułu OBE oraz nagrody Music Industry Trusts - wypowiedzi najsłynniejszych reżyserów, aktorów i muzyków z którymi pracował w formie podziękowań (coś a'la na fmf Wajda i Zanussi do Kilara) nakręcone specjalnie na tą okazję; masę unikatowych, prywatnych zdjęć sprzed lat, foty i klipy z sesji, oraz... słodkie życzenia do kamery składane przez, dzieciaczków wówczas, syna Barryego (chrzestną była Brokkolowa) i córki Brokkolowej (Barry był chrzestnym) - oboje urodzili się w 93 roku :

to daję też tutaj, bo w temacie Skyfall szybko zginie wśród zakładek :

eksluzywny, aż dwugodzinny dokument "James Bond's Greatest Hits" o wszystkich piosenkach z bondów (również tych rejectowanych!). nakręcony w 2006 roku, był ostatnim oficjalnym dokumentem w jakim pojawił się Barry. całość nakręcona była w 2006 roku, tak jak i wszystkie wypowiedzi muzyków (również tych których kawałki odrzucono) i Barryego (to akurat u niego w domu na kanapie).

Film, kiedyś dostępny na promocyjnym dvd, na YT pojawił się, z racji długości, aż w 14 partach w widescreen HQ:

mega polecam. jest to najlepsze, najświeższe i najpełniejsze kompendium wiedzy o bondowych piosenkach do Casino Royal Cornella i Arnolda włącznie. do tego smaczki o rejectowanych songach, fragmenty teledysków, i unikatowe foty zza kulis, i wypowiedzi nagrywane specjalnie do tego dokumentu ze wszystkimi.Barry niszczy humorem tam i tekstami i jest bardzo wykorzystywany do gadania ciekawostka, że piosenki nie są chronologicznie ułożone, co zachęca do oglądania dodatkowo

[Adam]

[Agent]

smieszny main title ma taki w stylu Star Wars disco na imprezach

[Koper]

a to nie jest jakaś podróbka Star Warsów ze studia Rogera Cormana?

[Wawrzyniec]

Od Cormana jest Battle Beyond the Stars. Ale Star Crash to też kiepska podróbka Star Wars, ale przynajmniej lepszya od Turkish Star Wars.
