I've just received this wonderful pair of CDs, and what a thrill to finally listen to such a classic score masterfully recorded by Nic Raine (as usual) ! The sound is absolutely breathtaking, encoded from a 24 bit recording.
The missing cues were so... well... missing from the original album ! Taras Bulba the album, used to be a fantastic score album on LP and CD, now it's even more an epic lenghty symphony full of surprises and adventures. From the opening turkish invasion to the final (now complete) Battle of Dubno, we now can understand the true value of Franz Waxman's masterpiece, simply one of the greatest golden age score, and we can now be told the complete story of Taras Bulba... thanks to James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine and everyone involved in this gorgeous edition !
This is the album to put next to El Cid (complete edition) in your collection!
