    I received this CD by mistake (it was supposed to be another one by Moross). Since I am unfamiliar with the film (and therefore the music), I have a question for my friends out there...should I return it or keep it? It is the same price as the one I was supposed to get, so...What kind of score is it? Opinions, please?

    Thank you in advance...

    the filmscore gal,
    Galina

    Hey Gal!

    Guess it depends on what the other cd is?

    Anyone will tell you, Moross is MONEY(meaning good ), although I have trouble connecting with the Silva recording sometimes....I wish I had 2 bills to shell out for Craig's deluxe OST over at Screen Archives

    However, the 2cd Silva/Moross compilation is really good, accessible and varied.

    Ciao,
    Sean

    Okay, you've all talked me into keeping it! I'll try to get "the Classic Film Music of Jerome Moross" some other time. The plastic wrap comes off The Big Country this morning! I'll let you know what I think later. Thank you to everyone!!!

    Oh, and...Welcome back, Timmer!!!!

    Wow...you never know what you're missing until you have the time to hear it! I would have probably never bought this CD and now that I have it, I can't stop listening!!! This is great music! Thanks again, everyone!

    Yeah, this is one of the all-time greatest scores ever, as you are probably beginning to realize.

    All versions of it are great. I have several of them. My favorite one is the Vol II LP-from original tracks. Super stuff. I have these:

    UA original LP
    Temple LP
    tapes
    CD of new issue
    Lp of Bremner version
    CD of Bremner version
    and others. All are good. J.
