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...

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,

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!!!!

Keep it! Very good score. And thanks to Timmer for introducing me to it...who as I see has now returned from his vacation and I STILL HAVEN'T REPLIED TO THE E-MAIL HE SENT ME BEFORE HE LEFT! Shame on me!

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.
