It also seems to me that at forty-seven minutes, the new CD is rather brief by modern standards. Granted, recording these things is an expensive undertaking, but one might think that Intrada might have held the disc's release back till they could have filled it out by tacking a few tracks onto the back end of later, unrelated, recording sessions as some labels have been known to do.


good have the Overture from VALLEY OF THE KINGS a beautiful score that was a bit forgot (apart the complete FSM CD) hearing the opening of THE MAN IN THE HALF MOON STREET and all the rest seems to me a very beautiful performance by Allan Wilson and Orchestra, great music by Rozsa and great sound. Good have also Jacarè and Sahara and good have also, after the recent CD with original music by Rozsa, another fresh performance of THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS

thanks Avie for your kind post
