Interesting — wonder what the factors here are besides the orchestra size. I see lots of tickets available. Maybe initial demand wasn’t there.
Also of note from the press release:
“The soundtrack of Rabbit and Rogue is currently in release by Sony Classical as a digital download with a deluxe, limited edition collector’s edition to follow.”
He seems to be entering that James Newton Howard – late early to mid ’90s phase of scoring adult thrillers
I don’t think there is a decent audio rip — if I recall there’s voiceover, crowd noise, sound effects, etc throughout.
iTunes lists “Danny Elfman & Berlin Session Orchestra” as artist. Copyright 2016 Evil Child Music.

I first went online in 1994-1995. Trust me, not much has changed since then. The sad reality is that in the film music fandom, Danny will have a cloud hanging over him for his entire career — and likely well beyond his time on Earth.
Imagine if Danny had turned down ALICE 2, and James Bobin had hired Chris Beck (whom he’d worked with on MUPPETS.) Stay with me here, cause I’m going to theorize that if Beck had been hired to use the Alice theme, and wrote the exact same score we’re hearing today, it would be universal praise. Rich orchestrations, dynamic action. “Beck takes the Alice theme in places Elfman never would!”
I’ve got nothing against Beck. The point is that sometimes it’s the composer, not the score, that’s being judged.
If there’s one thing I’ve learned over the 20+ years, it’s better just to enjoy the music without consideration of what you read on message boards, in reviews, etc.
Elfman’s music always sounds sweet that way. Trust me.
Yeah I was referring to a full-blown version like in the main titles from the first film. You’ll hear sprinkles, a bar or two, but the theme never rolls for very long in the sequels.
Interesting, someone once mentioned to me how on the MEN IN BLACK sequels, Elfman seemed to be almost avoiding using the main theme. At least give him credit for not over-relying on his themes in sequel scores.
LOL, funny you mention that. I’m cleaning up the stickies today and saw your reply and thought “Oh, this thread is still active? Let’s take a look.”
Like I said before, this score grows on you. I don’t think it’ll be remembered with the Elfman greats, but there’s a lot to love here, particularly the main theme which gets stuck in my head whenever I hear it.
Very cool. Danny wasn’t able to attend because he’s working on something in China with director Rob Minkoff.
