Just like with Hour of the Gun, it doesn't help that there are so many different threads on QB VII. The Salamander got a lot more posts in fewer threads... And yes, I haven't yet gotten mine. Yavar

I received my copy 3 days ago and have been listening to it endlessly ever since. I always loved the original soundtrack album but it is so amazing to hear the complete score. And the performance by the orchestra and the choir are first class. The musicians in Prague are getting better and better every year. Thanks everyone involved in this incredible release especially Aaron Purvis for orchestrating the whole score just by listening to it within the TV show. Amazing indeed.

I agree with Schiffy. Fantastic recording! And by the way, what has happened to the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra? I used to be disappointed with their performances for being so different, slow, and uninspired. And now, it's like their batting 100%. Is it just the Tadlow projects?

The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra is credited on a huge number of feature films. The Tadlow CD recordings are a very small part of what they do. I guess I could have been more clear. I used to be very disappointed by the City of Prague's re-recordings, particularly on their compilation CDs. I always felt like their performances were so different, too slow, and uninspired. But the re-recordings they have done with Tadlow have been the opposite. They sound true to the originals, the tempo is good, and they definitely play with a lot of energy. Is it simply a matter of different goals? That is to say perhaps with Tadlow they're trying to recreate the originals, and with their compilation CDs they're simply playing their own personal take on famous movie themes?

It's James Fitzpatrick that is largely responsible, I suspect. It's not just the Tadlow label; they've simply gotten much better since the 90s. Some of their later Silva recordings are really very good (ie. Rota's Romeo & Juliet). Part of it is that they've gotten new, better musicians. Part of it is that most of the old musicians got better at performing film music, which takes different skills than playing the same Tchaikovsky and Beethoven symphonies over and over in the concert hall.
