Yep - dull, dull, dull.
Film music lives because of the FILM images and rarely the music.
Why no RVW Sinfonia Antarctica?

Explanation please
Why was it dull? There were some varied scores on show and a good cross-section of British composers represented. Thank heavens we got to hear some Lutyens too.Originally posted by DracoM View Post
The Sinfonia Antarctica is not film music per se but an adaptation of the music VW composed for the movie "Scott of the Antarctic", of which a newly-edited soundtrack was released on Dutton some years ago.Comment

Of course it wasn't dull ! British Film music in the middle of 20 century could stand alone as classical suites ! If you want dull check some of the other proms of 2021,so called ' world/modernist music".Originally posted by Paulie55 View Post"Perfection is not attainable,but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence"Comment

Is there a single 2021 Prom with such a dated title? I'll have to look again....Originally posted by ucanseetheend View Post
And that's the greatness of so many Proms this year - they defy easy classification....but you might, might just, have to hear them to understand that...

But there is indeed a Classic Tradition of British Film Music - Goldfinger, Lawrence of Arabia, The Third Man, Henry V....Comment

Great prom. The opposite of dull!"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."
