[Nicolai P. Zwar]

There are a number of film scores I would be very interested in if they were recorded anew, JANE EYRE would be one of them, but obviously not the only one. Some scores, like Goldsmith’s RANSOM, are certainly good candidates. But generally, if I really like a score, I’m always very interested in new recordings of the score, even if there is nothing “wrong” with the available recording. I loved the new recordings of JAWS (McNeely) or THE BLUE MAX (Raine), even though there was nothing wrong per se with the original recordings, so I’m all for recording anything anew if the music is good enough.

I remember in the 1990s when Varèse Sarabande and Intrada die both Bernard Herrmann recordings, I was arguing (on rec.music.movies) for a new recording of THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL… I was thrilled when that actually came true.
