An absolute legend in music!!
A true n absolute legend.This Russian/American composer was one of the best of Hollywood golden era.
Sorry, Dimi was Ukrainian/American.
@@jslasher1 0:17 I can clearly hear the host say “Russian- born”
Wow! This is great. Have always admired this great talent. All of Dimitri Tiomkin's scores are first rate but if I had to choose a favourite, it would probably be the one written for 'Giant'. Unfortunately, the movie itself doesn't work as well nowadays as it might have in 1956; only Dimitri's score makes it tolerable enough to sit through.
Tiomkin composed at the piano, writing thick chords which his orchestrators [there were many, including the likes of William Grant Still and Hugo Friedhofer] deciphered over time. George Parrish once remarked, "it would take years to properly orchestrate a Tiomkin score". A reasonable assessment.
Very talented musician for movies. I absolutely love both his Lost Horizon, The High and the Mighty and The Fall of the Roman Empire. I legend if there ever was one.
What a charming Russian accent sweet as his artworks!
along with korngold, steiner, waxman, herrmann, goldsmith and williams, tiomkin is one of the "SOUNDTRACK SEVEN!"--the most ingenious film composers who ever lived--the first tier among a gallery of giants.
I think you missed Alfred Newman, who was certainly -- both in quality and quantity -- in the front rank of Hollywood composers. I'm with you on Goldsmith; Williams, not so much.
At least among Hollywood composers, they are probably the seven
@@pa3997 That is a fair qualification, because they are, as you suggest, Hollywood composers. There are a number of excellent European and Asian composers, too---and more. Some are first tier as well. I especially like William Alwyn's British movie scores. He also wrote a great many wonderful symphonies, tone poems, etc.
@@ericthered760 Lol ... I was just going to say, he missed a couple - Newman (my all-time favourite) and Rózsa.
and Bernstein!!!
He created fantastic stuff!
Giant is my favourite Tiomkin score, however, I regard his work on Land of the Pharaohs a genuine masterpiece - and I absolutely love that, too. And who could forget his incredible score for The Thing from Another World? 👍
Great short subjects, Tiomkin wrote great scores including RHAPSODY OF STEEL for US Steel!
Dimitri as he liked to be called, premiered in Europe George Gershwin’s Puano Concerto in F at the Paris Opera, June 1928 with the composer in attendance.
"Puano"? I've never heard of this instrument. BTW, he preferred to be called 'Dimi'.
Never met 'Dimi', but he certainly knew who I was. He once asked George Korngold, who had asked Tiomkin's publicist if I could schedule a meeting, "Who, boychik, is Lasher Steven?". Who, indeed.
Who are you if I may ask, you claim to know all these composers, are you somehow Leonard Slatkin in disguise.
@@iceomistar4302 Obviously, you have been living in a cave for far too many years. I produced recordings for Entr'acte Recording Society between 1974 and 1990, following which time I produced other recordings, which were licensed to a British company. I produced 5 recordings of Bernard Herrmann's music, re-recordings of Hugo Friedhofer's "Best Years of Our Lives" and Miklos Rozsa's "Time After Time". The album I produced of Marvin Hamlisch's "Sophie's Choice" was a best-seller. Yes, indeed, I knew all of these composers, So, there!
@@jslasher1 Thanks for clearing that up a bit, I still don't know who you are, so I will leave it at that, I was joking about Leonard Slatkin btw, and no I don't live in a cave, I just don't know or care to know every name in the business.
@@iceomistar4302 Sorry, but as you're not in the music business, I have no interest in your activities or comments.
@@jslasher1 I knew you hollywood types could be real bloody arseholes, you've just validated that for me, the arrogance to think anyone should just know who you are, I doubt most people know you or care yo know you anymore judging by the dickish behaviour
That's Gig Young. (Sorry it took two years for someone to answer you.)
Thank you, stationminute. Sorry it took 9 years to thank you.
You know I never knew that the song There’s Never Been Anyone Else But You from Giant Dimitri played on piano had lyrics. Is there a version that does?
It's easy to see the source of the humour in his music. Lucky for the world that he broke his arm. Less lucky for the world how Gig Young turned out...
When Tiomkin underwent cataract surgery, the scores he was hired to write for "How the West Was Won" and "Sodom and Gemorrah" were subsequently composed by Alfred Newman and Miklos Rozsa, respectively.
Who is the host??
Gig Young.
What's the title of the folk music starting at 3:43?
He identifies it as "I'm an Old Cowhand from the Rio Grande" but to me it sounds more like "O Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie."
@@mellotron12 It is really good to know this. Thank you Caleb!
