Since the new movie is coming, I am planning to by a new recording of Elmer Bernstein's score.

I've owned the original soundtrack recording. But it is in mono and sound so-so.

Now I found that there are at least two version of new recording of this score.

1: the KOCH version which record in 1993, easy to find and cheap, plus a bonus track.

2: the re-record in 1999. Very hard to found, and extremely expansive. But it is conducted by Bernstein himself.

Now I've listen to the sample of both recording in Amazon, but I can't tell that which one is better.

I need recommend and advice. Thank you.

 

(Sorry for my bad English expression. It is not my first language after all)

 

Update:

After compare the sample track by track, I decided to buy the KOCH recording.
