I am now the proud owner of your exodus re-recording and i can honestly say what a fantastic job you have accomplished in re recording one of the most magnificent scores of the 20th Century...
i have a few suggestions for further re-recordings:
1.Alex North's Spartacus
2.Lawrence of Arabia
3.Walk on the wild side/Man with the golden Arm/Sweet smell of success elmer bernstein
4.Dr Zhivago
5.Franz waxman's taras bulba
6.max steiner's Don juan and flame and the arrow
7. Erich Korngold's Captain blood
As far as I understand, Lawrence of Arabia is his next project, and he has plans to do Taras Bulba later. Having read some previous threads about it, I also understand it would be too expensive for him to record Spartacus.

As stated above, 'Lawrence' is next on Tadlow's list, and is ready for recording with 'Taras Bulba' later on. Without promising anything, Tribute, with William T., John Morgan and Anna, said they would like at some future date to do 'Adventures of Don Juan' and maybe 'Captn. Blood'. That era really is their passion.
I think the three Bernstein scores would make conductors think twice, because they're jazz-orientated and a lot of really good orchestras would still need to get a LOT of rehearsal time under their belts to achieve a quality close to the OSTs. Good project though.
'Zhivago' wouldn't be a priority wish for me personally. It's a score where the repetition doesn't help, a 'Thor' project I suppose and the original OST was done under such great conditions that you'd have a very hard time getting all those balalaikas hired and mixed in a short time. It worked very serendipitously on the original album ambience, and might not be bettered. Jarre himself never attempted a reconstruction for concert of the exact original, because the pizzi orchestra needed is huge, just to get a sound.
We know that Rozsa studied and researched the early Spanish Cantigas to get into the fold of the religious music. Quite remarkable.
Pretty much a direct lift. If you're going to steal, best to steal from someone who can't sue. Some 13th century monk should be getting royalties. And people criticized Horner for aping the classics.
Actually that Calahorra scene includes three different cantigas, artfully integrated into a coherent piece of music that manages to weave in and out of the dialogue. There's a great deal of artistry here.
[Wish I could figure out how to post the excellent video that you can find on YouTube. Is FSM's "special code legend" in need of revision?]

Impressive castle. Looking it up, I found that it is the Castle of Belmonte (Cuenca). It can be seen in other movies too, like The Lord of the Rings (1978 animated) and Flesh+Blood (1985).
