I hope the "epic" is The War Lord by Jerome Moross (with some Hans J. Salter) -- it's time to add more composers to the Tadlow stable, and this is one of the greatest epic scores of the 60s!
Out of curiousity James do you have any other releases of original film recordings coming up or will that have to wait until you find tapes for Jesus of Nazareth?

I'd love you to re-record Magnificent Seven, but that probably wouldn't sell very well either, previous re-recordings have always been somewhat lacking, I'd love to hear a complete score recording done by Tadlow, sadly I think this will be one dream that doesn't come true.
Why Magnificent Seven for Christ sake?
It's certainly a score that would IMHO sell quite well, but there are far too many scores that haven't been released half a dozen times and re-recorded twice already.
Speaking about Bernstein,... Sons of Katie Elder, Hallelujah Trail, The Miracle or The Ten Commandments or whatever is lost would be far more interesting to re-record as they could be therefore finally available in the complete form for the first time. Not for the 5th time, Magnificent seven would.

It just happens to be my favourite score of all time, it was the first film I ever saw and the music has remained my favourite ever since (46 years at no 1) none of the previous re-recordings have caught the "feel" of the score, some are too slow and one sounds like the guitar players where in another room. It may have been re-recorded and released many times ( so had Lawrence) but none of the previous releases have done it justice.

Sorry not WAR LORD ...yet
There's always hope!
This score simply needs the Tadlow touch. I can't thank you enough for Exodus, El Cid, Lawrence, or True Grit!
Well already did a long suite many years ago in Prague ....I think that turned out really well (?) despite being recorded at a time when the orchestra were not so good? (I never said that ...they have alays been a fine orchestra, it is just that now they are a great orchestra and in the view of Nic Raine as good as any of the many orchestras he has conducted in Germany, France, Sovakia, Spain, UK etc... and he regards their string sound as the very best)
So imagine how well they could do the complete WAR LORD now !!!

I think the whole Moross album turned out really well! (as did the second one)
Indeed those two Moross albums made me take notice of how good the Prague orchestra had become. The Vikings Suite, the Taras Bulba Suite, the John Barry re-recordings... all very good.

Too bad about the Rozsa estate because I'd sure like to hear a proper recording of THE GOLDEN VOYAGE OF SINBAD.

Would you want to rerecord the Salter cues too? I think I could live without them if you could save some money not recording them.
You'd need the 'Death of Draco' sequence at least, since it's essentially integral to the dramatic flow.
There are other bits and pieces that are Salter's arrangements of Moross's themes. It would be nice to know which is which. For example, there's an exquisite little passage that finishes two battle scenes, (it's on the album CD, just at the tail-end of 'The War Lord in Battle': it's also at the end of the first fight with the Frisians early on), which just perfectly describes musically the whole 'joyous comradeship' thing that was part of chivalry, just a few bars. Not necessarily in keeping with the score's overall feel, it still has Moross's feel about it, though it's probably Salter.
The whole thing is a one-CD affair anyway.
