Customer Reviews Not Original Recordings Electronic music especially is extremely hard to reproduce exact "voices" for the notes. Listen to the samples, these are poorly reproduced copies. . "Dr. Strangelove, The Shining & Spartacus ~ Kubrick" One can only thank Silva Screen for releasing a Tribute album "2001: Music from the Films of Stanley Kubrick", featuring just a handful of films and scores from writer/director Stanley Kubrick. . . . . but what an impact they have made on audiences everywhere over the years. . . his shoes are not easy to fill in the world of film making. Did I mention Peter Sellers manifesting his talent enough for three roles, which included a U. S. President in "DR. STRANGELOVE, OR HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING ABOUT AND LOVE THE BOMB"(1964), besides Sellers we have Sterling Hayden(crazed General) and George C. Scott(gum chewing insanity), but Slim Pickens steals the show with his wild ride on the "bomb". . . "THE KILLING" (1956), "PATHS OF GLORY" (1957) and "SPARTACUS" (1960), an original true story of a gladitor(Kirk Douglas) who leads other slaves into rebellion against a powerful Rome in 73 B. C. . . actor and executive producer Douglas was magnificent in the film, with brilliant Kubrick directing. . . outstanding score by Alex North. . . "LOLITA" (1962), "2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY" (1968), "A CLOCKWORK ORANGE" (1971), master film maker Kubrick pulled out all the stops on this one, Malcolm McDowell(sadistic punk is funny fierce psychopath) a cult following with memorable scenes. . . "BARRY LYNDON" (1975), adventures of an Irish gambler whose transition from innocence into the pit of aristocracy in the 18th Century. . . Ryan O'Neal stars, never better in a role. . . "THE SHINING" (1980), we know Jack Nicholson can go off the deep end, but in this film(he's completely off the charts), can think of no other actor that can pull this off. . . "FULL METAL JACKET" (1987). . . quite a line up from one of the industries leaders in film making, and the scores that pulled them off. Hats off to The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Paul Bateman, Nic Raine and Mark Ayres. . . Crouch End Festival Chorus, conducted by Bateman. . . James Fitzpatrick (producer), Reynold da Silva (executive producer). . . and the many soloist Tomas Lerst on fiddle, Vaclay Skyora on tin whistle, Zbynka Solcova on celtic harp, Gareth Williams on harpsichord and Jaraslava Eliasova on piano. . . and a big thank you to Silva Screen for keeping all of us "film-score-buffs" in a happy mood. . . gotta love it!
