Sorry, it's not Fenton either.

Collected and new hints

- movie from the early '90s
- movie with dramatic story - unfolding in a very cold place
- composer received lots of nominations and won several awards
- composer did not win the Oscar
- composer was nominated for Film Composer of the Year several times
- composer is "A-List", presently very active and well known
- IMDB lists more than 100 scores as composed by this man

...and don't forget to check the music-samples again Wink

Here's one more sample.

After this, I can give you one more info about the composer which will probably enable many of you to solve this riddle pretty quickly.

Okay... here's that revealing composer-hint I mentioned:

The composer of this score practically never conducts his own scores.

I've been on vacation so haven't gotten to this one yet. It's Alive by James Newton Howard.

Well done, Zirael!

I thought the composer was old...

Anyway, I would never have guessed, never heard of this movie.

With your hints I understood he was old. When I suggested Alan Silvestri, you should have said he was the same age Razz

How about a really easy sample? (please disregard the long pause at the end of the track - without it, my encoder refused to encode the MP3 file)

Vertigo from Bernard Herrman
