You're about to be blown away again, since Goldsmith's own (excellent) LP recording is just over a third of this masterpiece. You've got a whole awesome extra hour to discover -- this was a bigger Holy Grail for me than even Damnation Alley this year!

I have so loved checking out the score on youtube...I'll bet my hands will be shaking when I tear the plastic off the Tadlow next month.

I dug this out for another play this morning (red/brown cover still on front display) and I'd always assumed it was Leigh Phillips who reconstructed this score by ear (as he usually does for these recordings) but it was Aaron Purvis.
It's such an excellent recording and performance. Possibly the best one to date?
And whether it's Phillips or Purvis, there is no loss of quality or attention to detail in these reconstructions.
All of them sound as Goldsmith as they come.
Spectacular stuff.
I must be getting myself in the mood for the new FIDDLER ON THE ROOF release

QB VII is a wonderful score. Grand, epic, with an unusual abundance of themes (especially for a Jerry Goldsmith score), like classic scores from days of yore. (BEN HUR comes to mind... or EXODUS, which is a somehow a "companion score", even though the latter was of course composed by Ernest Gold.)
I already loved the original album, which I got on LP in the 1980s, but the expansive Tadlow recording lets the music breathe.
