Reply To: Your top 5 Miklós Rózsa albums
There’s already two 30-minute suites from The Jungle Book in modern sound. One from early 80s on the Colosseum label, and the other one from Chandos:
I only have and know the Coloseeum one which is great. The Chandos is the same suite, right? According to the album tracks of the original score release (which I never heard) probably 25-30 min missing. I think some dramatic material (but as mentioned Rozsa’s ostinatos can be a bit too much). Might be the only Rosza I would love to have a complete re-recording of.
I have the 80s one. Alas, it starts to skip in the JUNGLE BOOK suite. CDs do get old and die, it seems.
It must not always be the CD itself. CD players/drives age as well. Or the laser could also be dirty from dust. Last time my copy played fine as far as I remember. Good occasion to play it again to check…
