I was perusing my Walton, earlier and wondered. My question is what cds are there available with the most music from said films. In particular those where dialogue is absent or doesn't bugger the music ( at least for me, before anyone says). I have one with Carl Davis but that's it. Thanks in advance.

Thanks. The Chandos Hamlet/ Gielgud sounds like it's worth looking at.
Edit: just found one- £2.58

For the record, on the Marriner recording of HENRY V, every one of the 10 tracks contains some dialogue.
I think I'll survive for #2.58

I have an EMI CD with the suites from Henry V and Richard III (nothing from Hamlet for some reason) conducted by the composer, with a radio-style condensation of the former with dialogue performed by Olivier and the Prelude and Fugue from Spitfire. I have to say, it’s surprising that there have never been complete recordings of these scores considering how significant they are.

This is an excellent recording. Highly recommended.
Charles Gerhardt and the National Philharmonic also give a spirited rendition of the Henry V suite on the Varese Sarabande album VSD-5207.
Also, Andrew Litton and the Bournemouth Symphony play the suite on a London Records CD, with other Walton pieces. I think now it's only available in a 4-CD box.

What about this one, chaps. It only credits Larry as speaker on three tracks

That is the album I was referring to a few posts up, which features a radio-style condensation of Henry V on tracks 15-28 along with the suites for that and Richard III. The only tracks in that section where Olivier is not featured are Globe Theatre tracks, the Battle music, and the Agincourt Song.

Ok. Thanks.

I have all of these CDs, and the Seraphim LP of Walton conducting suites from three of the four films. Because of this thread, I'm going to dig them out and give them a spin. I always thought Henry V was one of the great scores.

While your at it then- which have most music unhampered by dialogue.

I've been following this thread closely because I too have always longed for the music sans speech.
I mean if I want to hear the music with the words I'll just watch the dang movies, thank you very much. Though I must say that the versions with narrative I have heard, including the wonderful vintage recording with Olivier and Walton, are all splendid in their way.
I'm also glad of this thread because it just spurred me to recall that I bought the Varese Gerhardt "The Prince and the Pauper" years ago. But I'm not that sure I ever listened to the Henry V suite - remedying that right now.

The liners for the Gerhardt state that it is different from the concert suite, longer, and used Walton's orchestrations, so I'm looking forward to comparing it with the Walton-conducted suite.
