Some of you make it seem like you are suppose to root for one or the other, it's the music that counts and Intrada found more of it, the Kritzerland was over three years ago and sold out pretty fast. There are only winners here people.

This is such a beautiful score. Next to Cocoon ne of my all time favorite Horner scores. Since some people mentioned in a previous post that it sounds exactly like Commando, I`d suggest they listen to the samples. Sure, it also features the "intense cluster of chimes, pizzicato bass, swelling brass" that can be found in Commando but it has much more to offer: the clever inclusion of the beautiful Tchaikovsky piece and wonderful melancholy and emotional themes. While I find Commando rather chaotic and tiresome I can`t get enough of Gorky Park.
Thanks so much Intrada.
Btw. does anyone know if the Tchaikovsky music was newly recorded by Horner or if an existing recording was used? And does anyone know what Tchaikovsky composition it is?

The Tchaikovsky music comes from two different works: An excerpt of Swan Lake is heard in the first part of the cue and then another one from The 1812 Overture - itself quoting 'La Marseilleise' - concludes the cue.

Thanks for the info. I`m pretty embarrassed that I didn`t recognize SWAN LAkE  But I didn`t know the OVERTURE.

Very pleased to pick up this one. A very nice pair of releases from Intrada to kick off the Autumn season.

So, a possible conclusion regarding the above discussion, might be:
Beloved labels, don't re-re-re-release music that has been available recently from other labels, and focus on unreleased stuff instead. (remark on the word "recently").
P.S. Just for the record: Intrada is my all-time favorite label, I instantly bought this Gorky Park and I definitely think this edition is the one to treasure.

This is such a narrow-minded viewpoint. We should applaud the fact that by re-releasing these scores, it makes them available to NEW fans, those who might just be discovering who their favorites are. Maybe they picked up the latest Horner score and then wanted to search out his older works. At least GORKY PARK will be out there and available for them to purchase and enjoy. Too many soundtrack fans seem to forget that it might be important from both a business model and supporting the art to keep releasing these scores to the public for these reasons. It's not all about you personally and what you already own. Just don't buy it. The labels should NEVER tailor their releases to what the established fan base already has, it's insane, especially considering how large some of our collections can be. Just think of the reissues as helping to keep this hobby alive for future generations. Everyone should stop being so short-sighted.

I'm thrilled over this release. GP is one of my favorite Horner scores and I have the original Varese CD. I missed the Kritzerland, so I'm happy to get this.

Perhaps I'm slow and this was made clear somewhere in the press materials, but I'm a little confused by the way the score is being presented given the track listing. It looks like the usual Film Score + Extras organization that Intrada favors, but the main section includes certain album versions while the extras section includes certain film versions. Am I missing something?
It's a mystery. Like the movie! I get it!
