As I thought...even the Rozsa fans cannot agree? So I will just have to record the music I like best......which is ?
The Vikings

It'd be a hard one to call, given that Tadlow and Prometheus deal in LIMITED EDITION CDs, otherwise I'd recommend something very commercial, such as 'Ben-Hur', since there is no DDD recording of that. For the bigger world market out there, that sort of thing is a sure-fire hit and sells. The people here would shout 'No!' but in a bigger market that's the strategy.
But since these are for a fairly consistent and 'faithful' market of die-hards, in 3,000 unit pressings, then we could be more obscure.
There's no full release of 'A Double Life', one of Rozsa's most varied scores, and his second Oscar-winner. Yes, it's an internally less 'consistent' score than many in his film noir era material, but it's a great score, and will satisfy both the film noir buffs and the 'historical' and 'psychological' since it melds the three fairly seamlessly.
'Lady Hamilton' is a classic movie, though I doubt it'd fill a full CD, and it does have a few dated passages like the 'Hearts of Oak' thing.
'Lydia' is one of his most ubiquitous scores in compilation sets, and it's never had a full release, but it is an obscure film. Then again, Rozsa fans are dedicated.
And y'know, Rozsa's first ever score, 'A Knight Without Armour' is one of his best, shows everything he'd develop into.
And there was much speculation re 'Five Graves to Cairo' a while back.
'The Thief of Baghdad' is a surefire winner, and it'd need a massive orchestral/choral resource such as Tad can muster. But it wouldn't be cheap .... It's a famous classic of world cinema too, and might take a bigger run from someone like Silva later on, as 'El Cid' did ....

I'm sure these Tadlow and Prometheus recordings are not limited to 3,000 unit pressings William - why would they be.

Not Limited anymore ... but very, very few rarely sell more than 3000.....infact only 1 has for Prometheus and only 2 for Tadlow...so far

Sodom & Gomorrah
Sodom & Gomorrah
Sodom & Gomorrah
Sodom & Gomorrah
Sodom & Gomorrah
I'll never give up...never...
I agree, along with "The Golden Voyage of Sinbad","Sodom & Gomorrah" desperately needs re-recording.
