No complaints here if songs are excluded. All I want is the Score The same here. Best!

I suppose (not that I'd ever recommend such a thing) the songs tend to be 'musical numbers' rather than backgound, so if you REALLY want them, you can nick them off the DVD yourselves. I'm not bothered. Yul Brynner might have been, since he envisaged this great tribute to Cossack culture. But he hated the finished film anyway. As long as Franz is fully represented, it doesn't matter.

I liked the source music from the film, the Cossack drinking songs were very entertaining. I wouldn't mind it if they were included. However, given the logistics that you've described and the fact that I seem to be the only one who would miss them, I think the source music may not be worth the additional effort to record. I can live without them, and wouldn't have wanted them in the body of the score anyway. That said, this is my favorite Franz Waxman score, so I am most excited to hear this new record! What is of main interest to record in the Cossack celebration music which is scored by Waxman and a large orchestra indicated...so I think I will record that...plus the source cue The Thieves Market Maybe not necessary are: the Christmas carols arranged by Jack Halloran the orthodox Prayer "Vo Tzarstvie Tvoem" plus the mostly unused songs written for Yul Brynner by Waxman and Mack David whch are: "There Come a Time" "Zaporazhtsi" "He Died with his Boots On" "I Lulee, Lulee" "The Drinking Song" and "The Fox and the Hen" a song written for Brynner to sing as he rides along with his two sons joining in he chorus: "He was a very, very , very beautiful fox .... she was a very, very, juicy hen ....poor little hen kept disappearing , right from under his eyes ... You can't have your hen and eat it 'specially if you are a fox"!!!!! So with at least 6 songs composed it might well have been planned as TARAS BULBA: THE MUSICAL!!!!!!!!!!
