I may be being over-sensitive here, but if you DO send this thread to Mr. Kunzel, it might be an idea to delete all the 'it's going to be a tough battle' references. Plus this here post too of course.
Good point...done...:-)
Oh yah there were a few I was going to leave out!! Just so sad, I sent him a VERY nice note and card today, I hope it gives him a moment to smile.
I'm going to be sending Erich this thread along with my card tomorrow morning so if you want to put a nice note on this thread go ahead. I'll be removing some comments that I don't want him to see!
I have listened to Star Tracks I and II (amongst others) so many times I have certainly lost count after so many years, and each time the music never fails to bring a smile of pure soundtrack bliss to my face. In many instances the performances are better than the original soundtrack recordings, not to mention the superb Telarc sound quality!
I wish you all the very best for a SPEEDY recovery Mr Kunzel, and THANK YOU so much for all your wonderful music!
I've listened to his record albums and CDs with deep appreciation and admiration for so many years now. I'm so sorry to just now read of his illness and I do most sincerely wish him all the best there is. Although I came close a few times, I regret that I never had the pleasure to see Maestro Kunzel conducting live in concert. I thought of attending the recent Kunzel-conducts-John-Williams concert, but I just could not get out of town. I'm heartened to read here that that concert was a great success for Mr. Kunzel.
