Which composer created a better score for their Musketeer film?
Legrand's work is especially impressive for the speed in which he composed it. But I find Schifrin's work to be just as compelling.
Certainty of death, small chance of success. What are we waiting for?
Definitely Schifrin for me. Makes it feel more of the big romantic / swashbuckling tale that it is. Legrand's score feels jittery / too 'period'. Just IMO.
Both scores are very good, of course.
I love them both. Schifrin's seems more serious and melancholic, but so is the second film. For me the change in score emphasises the change in tone in the story, that it becomes darker.
