the only problem with this particular Shore work, is it's not really a symphony in any sense of the word. It's just a big suite of excerpts from the filmscore. It has no real cohesion. I admire the filmscore he composed. However, the "symphony" is nothing more than 2 hours of excerpts from the soundtrack with no development, and nothing linking it all together except its position in the film.

In musical criticism, when issues of craft and technical consideration are set aside, what remains is more subjective. However, until technical issues are dealt with, the subjective portion bears considerably less weight.
