A great re-recording, 2008-09-25
I wasn't sure what to expect. I know the cover art is a little cheesy. But the recording is fantastic. I think great pains were taken to make this as true to Hermann's original score as possible. It's clean, dynamic and really show how much contemporary film scoring was influenced by Bernard Hermann. And the thereminist on this is really first rate. br /If you liked the original movie, are into film scoring or a theremin fan, this CD is highly recommended.

Listening to this soundtrack recreates a haunting story wherein a visitor with an important message was spurned-- to our dismay. Turn it up!

No, it's not the original soundtrack..., 2008-06-08
but I like it as well if not better. This is Bernard Hermann's original score performed by orchestra (including Theremin) at Abbey Road Studios in 2002. The attention to detail and consideration of original arrangement is exemplary. As a long time fan of this film classic (and if you haven't seen it, find it ! After 58 years, it still speaks volumes of the human condition and futile politics) I've heard the original soundtrack within the film many times. This is different, of course, but excellent within its own right. If you wish to study the Theremin exquisitly used in an orchestral environment, this is the score and one the best recordings I've heard. Hermann's composition is simply classic of the genre.

FANTASTIC SOUNDTRACK!!!!, 2008-05-25
FANTASTIC----THIS IS EXACTLY FROM THE MOVIE. ALL ORIGINAL STUFF. NOTHING HAS BEEN CHANGED. I LOVE THE SOUNDTRACK AS MUCH AS THE MOVIE---TOTALLY UNCHANGED FROM THE ORIGINAL 1951 SCORE.

being a huge fan of the movie and having the original soundtrack already I decided to give this re-recording a listen as it had extra tracks, well I was pleasantly suprised by how joel mcneely had reproduced the sounds and style of herrmanns original soundtrack, br /with it obviously being in stereo it gives you that extra depth and feel to the movie, br /well done mr mcneely your a credit to the industry.
