Here's a special treat for the holidays (3 of 5): A new Excalibur re-recording of Dimitri Tiomkin's epic score by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, under the baton of Richard Kaufman
Wow! I was not expecting a re-recording (and kinda surprised Stromberg didn’t conduct), but this still quite a surprise after LLL’s attempt to release the original recording fell through years ago. It’s been ages since I last saw the film so I don’t remember much about the music, though the samples in that video sound quite good.
Wonderful ! Magnificent ! I am so pleased to see Intrada do this without the drawn out Kickstarter nail biting dramatics. The “golden age” of film music will not go quietly into the dark good night. Thank you so much everyone at Intrada. Now it is up to all us to make this release a total success.

What happened exactly? Did they not have the right license or were the tapes unusable/lost
