| I also have the Unicorn CD of Herrmann conducting the score. Some folks seem to prefer the one conducted by Joel McNeely, which I've never heard. The score seems not to have been mentioned in many reviews of the film, at least not in the reviews to which I have access. I like some of Herrman's concert works, too, particularly his only symphony. It's a work that I think would be popular with audiences if only orchestras would program it. |

| For me, Herrmann is far and away the greatest film composer, nobody else even comes close. But his symphony and other concert works (again, for me) don't rise to the same level. It's an interesting comparison with Erich Wolfgang Korngold, whose film music is highly overrated but whose concert music is more compelling than Herrmann's. | |

| Oddly, I don't know any of Korngold's concert music. I keep meaning to get to know it. | |
