Gerhardt had the luxury of being able to consult with Rózsa and getting his approval before going ahead and adding the chorus to
THE JUNGLE BOOK
suite (which added a wonderful and unique aspect to the score, especially since Klauspeter Seibel had earlier recorded a thirty-minute suite at Nürnberg "straight").
As for
IVANHOE
, thanks to Danny Robbins's reconstructed orchestrations, the Broughton-conducted sessions were about as faithful to the original MGM sessions as possible. I don't think that either reconstructor or conductor sought to "improve" what Rózsa originally wrought in 1952 (though I
do
wish that they had managed to record the missing two cues, plus the dozen or so fanfares Rózsa wrote and recorded during the OST sessions).
Rózsa was still alive as Robbins worked on his orchestrations, though I seem to recall that the composer was by then too ill for consultations. At least Rózsa did get to hear the completed recording before he died, and I can't imagine that he was anything less than thrilled with the result.
