Craig Safan scored Chaplin's 1971 edit of The Kid for the Dallas Chamber Symphony. It was performed two months back (Feb 21 2017) and I thought we'd never get to hear a note of it. So... wow, the whole thing has been dumped online, film and all. It's a live recording and there's respectful laughter, but it doesn't detract from the music (some might think it enhances the listening experience). The quality of the recording is absolutely first rate, CD quality. And you could eat your dinner off the print of the film.
Being on Vimeo, you can capture it as MP4 or just MP3 for the score. It sounds magnificent on its own. Glad to see Safan back to film scoring after a 15 year break. Especially as his circus scoring gig at Ringling Bros has come crashing to a halt this year.
