the same happened ages ago with morricone´s "fat man and little boy" by LLL, the strings and the the flute were partly so badly balanced that the whole thing sounded like a mishmash compared to the score in the movie, which was very unfortunate!

I am not an expert concerning this subject but I know what I like. Unfortunately I feel that some remastered cds lacks some of the bits I like in music. I am just listening to Quartet’s Red Sonja and to my disappoinment the strings in the end title are to flat, thin and low. I want to hear the melody and the strings to shine. In the Perverance cd the strings are more in the foreground. I have experienced the same thing before. Sometimes the strings sound flat and synthesized in remastered cds. I don’t like that. I got The Sicilian Clan in the same order; dare I listen to it?
Well, if you remaster something, it usually sounds different from the original master; that is the point of remastering. When you remaster a recording, you are adjusting the mix (which may be the same, or you are remixing as well, which isn't the same, but sometimes both gets done) for a release on CD or LP or high-res download or whatever.
Just because something is "remastered" though doesn't automatically mean that it will sound "better". It may just sound differently.
I have not heard Quartet's release of THE SICILIAN CLAN, so I don't know how it compares to the previous release, which I though always sounded fine.

Isn't it the case that the mix in the score can be different from the mix for a soundtrack album release because each mix is done for a different need and a different audience?
Sometimes a remix for a remastered release may be reflecting the original score mix rather than the soundtrack album (or the other way round), so it will sound different.
And, if it's different to what you're used to, it may not be something you like as much. I think I had that experience with one or both of the Star Trek II/III expansions. Best to keep the older releases alongside any remastered release.
