The recording is crisp, the tempo lively and instrumental performances are balanced and clearly audible individually. I've never heard the Stanyan release, but it's hard to imagine a recording of this age sounding any better than this new release. Varese and all concerned deserve great credit for putting it together for us. Looking forward to more of Victor Young in the future!
Here, here, and ditto. I've never even seen the film, but I'm struck by Victor Young's melodies. There is something so powerful and emotive, they pierce the heart, punch you in the gut, and grab you by the throat. It's just a thrilling, romantic score. Beautiful stuff. I can see why it's been so revered. Very grateful to Varèse for making this available, Heindorf or not. Grab it while you can.

I agree with your comments. Victor Young's style always hit me just the right way. I've been a fan since 1956 when my older brother Joe bought Around the World in 80 days!
Less than 200 left! I think it will sell out in due time. I'm enjoying the CD and I'm glad others are too. I hope this will encourage more Victor Young CDs.

It's a pleasure to see that Victor Young's score gained so strong enthusiasm, after decades. My copy is still coming and I don't know what master Varese used, but if it is Stanyan's, you have to think that the Warner Bros. one is even better. Decidedly more presence and prominence in instruments as guitar, flute, percussions section, that were rather obscured and layered at second level, in the Stanyan remastering. If you have those items and listen to old tracks as n.2 (Climb to the cave) or n.9 (Bridge is blown), you will hear solo guitar placed just in front of you, and hails of drums that sounds sharp and well-defined like bullets of a machine-gun. The same happens for the SPELLBOUND recording. About "Heindorf or not" (!): Ray Heindorf's full renditions of those scores (including the Dean's films) were Holy Grails when the original sessions were not intended for the public.
