He wrote so many of my favorite scores, teleadm. There are almost too many to count. Almost every Warner Brothers film ever made, it seems. I happen to love the beautiful theme from A SUMMER PLACE, which you posted. Another that I also love is the main theme from THE DARK AT THE TOP OF THE STAIRS (1960). Among his more orchestral scores, I particularly love KING KONG (1933). That one's quite atypical for him; not lyrical at all, but bombastic, intense, primitive. teleadm , I swapped to a different DARK theme; let me know if it works. |

I could go on foerever about Steiner's Classic scores, but I would like to mention on of his last and relatively unknown for the 1961 film PARRISH. I was able to track down on the the LP's of the music and I love it.

Not all of his music is listenable (mostly doing with old-time music scores), but was he influential. One of my favorites was Now Voyager.
