Incanus 5,713 Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I know but it is a score I have never gotten into apart from the love music. North is very hit or miss with me. E.g. I am not overly fond of the lauded Dragonslayer either but I adore stuff like A Streetcar Named Desire and Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering all the 2-disc releases in the CD Club over the years, I don't think they are actively trying to limit the number of CDs if the length of the score warrants it. Plus Spartacus was Townson's pet project and a historical release of all the available material (similar to the comprehensive Ben-Hur by FSM) so multi-disc release was inevitable with all the available material. I only question the inclusion of 2 discs of covers of the love theme which might be a nice tribute and chance for musicians to pay respects to North's score and music but mostly an overkill on purely listening experience terms. But I think it was nice of Varese to release the stereo tracks as a single disc for those not hankering to own everything from the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Stu 15,495 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I bought these three CDs last week and have been pretty much only listening to them since. The Symphony No. 3 recording is a MUST-HAVE for Copland enthusiasts as it's a recording of the symphony as it was performed in '46/'47, before the cuts made by Bernstein (and approved by Copland later).

Jay 37,317 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 So I had been a bad boy and not ordered any Intrada titles in like a year and a half. I just rectified that by placing a big catch-up order of everything I missed, minus 3 titles that had gone Out Of Print (One Little Indian - d'oh!) or were currently temporarily Out Of Stock (The Mummy and Batteries Not Included) - I'll snag those later. Plus Good Morning Vietnam / Operation Dumbo Drop, which doens't have an entry at ScreenArchives for me to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
