Laurence Rosenthal

Laurence Rosenthal is a highly talented composer in the classical vein, but many of the films he has scored are sadly unknown to the general public. I myself admit to not knowing his work too well, but what I have heard from him is top notch. Rosenthal's works include the scores for A Raisin in the Sun, The Miracle Worker, Requiem for a Heavyweight, Man of La Mancha, Hotel Paradiso, and Inherit the Wind. He also scored the TV shows Logan's Run with Bruce Broughton and The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles with Joel McNeely. A definite highlight is his rich, lush score to the original Clash of the Titans, for which Rosenthal provided a plethora of memorable themes and adventurous fantasy music.
