Thanks Marty! Mine should be arriving today or tomorrow along with 'Harry Potter' and 'Schindler's List' and I can't wait to listen to them all!

Hi there, this was a fantastic release and worth the double dip, I'm trying to assemble a more complete edit and I was wondering if anyone knew what the string quartet is playing after Takagi’s speech and during Holly speaking to Ellis and Lucy. I'm not familiar with classical music so I wouldn't know where to even begin!

It's Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major (Allegro Moderato), by Bach, according to the credits

Sorry that's not it, although it does play before Takagi's speech and when John arrives, there's another song that play's, I saw someone on a earlier page say that the three classical pieces are Bach, Haydn and Beethoven, so I'm guessing it's the Haydn one? But no idea which one it could be.

I have two answers to that question. First answer, if you like the Die Hard score, all you need to have is the La-La Land mind-blowing 3-CD Die Hard 30th Anniversary Edition, which features the complete score in its most perfect presentation ever and so much more. Second answer, if you are a crazy Die Hard score completist (like me!) who needs to have every single piece of music featured in the movie, even barely noticeable source music, then you need the mind-blowing 3-CD Die Hard 30th Anniversary Edition plus four other tracks that were not included on this set. As I stated in an earlier post on this thread, all of the original score music composed by Michael Kamen is present on the set and, to my knowledge, the only tracks missing from the set are source music from other composers/artist (easily available on many releases for more than a century in some cases): the three pieces of classical music playing at the Nakatomi Christmas party and the song playing while Argyle is on the phone in the back of the limo. They are as follows:
Bach - Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 in G Major, Movement 1 - Plays before Takagi's speech and when McClane arrives at the Christmas party
Haydn - String Quartet in G major, Opus 77 No. 1, Movement 1 - Plays after Takagi's speech while Holly walks around the office with Ellis and speaks on the phone with her daughter and Paulina.
Beethoven - Ode to Joy for string quartet from Symphony No. 9 - Plays while McClane speaks with Holly in Ellis's office and as the terrorists arrive at the party.
Stevie Wonder - Skeletons - Plays while Argyle is on the phone in the back of the limo.
By the way, I totally understand the initial question about the Haydn track. Here's the story of how I found it. For many years, I had the same question and nowhere was this info to be found on the internet (even nowadays, still nothing). And I really had searched a lot. So a few years ago, I was listening to my local radio classical music station as I sometimes do when I want to unwind and by pure coincidence, the Die Hard Haydn track played on the air... My jaw dropped: finally that mysterious piece of music could be identified! And, unless I am wrong, I think I would be to my own disbelief the first one today to link that Haydn track to Die Hard somewhere on the internet. Who knew!? If that really is the case: Merry Christmas!

Does anyone know where the performance of Beethoven's 9th (Disc 2, Track 10) is taken from? Seems to be older, and as is, not particularly good, but still, where is it from?

Sorry if this was answered before, but for the track "The Vault (Film Edit)", what is it an edit of, if that makes any sense?
