A Slight Innacuracy.......2007-06-13

The version of "Nadia's Theme" (Theme from The Young and the Restless) isn't actually the one you're expecting. I believe it's actually the original arrangement made for "Bless the Beasts and the Children". So what later became the Young and the Restless theme (the one that was a hit) still remains unreleased on CD.

Hopefully, we can see that version on a future release. Maybe they could get "Little Ballerina Blue" on one while they're at it.

Still, some great stuff here.

Excelente .......2007-03-22

El tema de nadia es una de las canciones mas excelentes de la historia de la musica

Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals, Vol. 2.......2006-03-22

The purchase went as we had hoped. The delievry was as promised, and the quality of the product equal too, or above our expectations.

Not totally an instrumental.......2006-03-10

I was excited to find this album. I bought it but was horrified to find a loud vocal on the first track. The rest of the music is all instrumental but this one track simply JARS you when it plays. Very disappointing!

Another Collection You Wonr Find Anywhere else.......2003-05-06

Well, ERIC records has done it again.

Continuing their unique practice of giving us both well known hits and impossible to find rarities, Eric presents Volume 2 of "Hard to Find Orchestral Instrumentals". This one is, in my opinion, even better than the first.

First off, the sound quality of this disk is ASTOUNDING. ERIC has gotten the various reissue departments to provide them with absolute first generation mono and stereo masters and this CD proves it. The aural quality is breathtaking. The fact that Orchestral music is so beautifully suited for true stereo playback is exhibited here, as a whopping 15 of the 20 tracks are True Stereo and sound magnificent.

There are, of course, the big soundtrack hits here, like 'The Day The Rains Came" "Rocky", "Ben Casey", "Theme from The Apartment", and " Nadias Theme". All top 30 and well remembered. However, for this 43 year old fan, it was the some of the lessor known tracks, in particulatr the 1963 Colpix low level charter "Theme From The Long Ships" that really makes this collection the gem that it is. Outstanding tracks include "Theme From The Sundowners" , "The Dark At The Top of The Stairs" and "I Will Follow Him" , all tracks that will suddenly sound familiar again after first listen.

Therein lies the BEST part of this collection. When you put this on your player, you will be treated to a nostalgic feast,
a time when the magic of Orchestral music still ruled the charts, and existed in all our homes. And you'll certainly remember most of these once you hear them, which is the fun part!!

There arent enough great things I can say about this collection AND its sister CD "Hard To Find pop Instrumentals- Part 2" I personally liked this volume better, but if you dont have either yet, give yourself a musical treat, and some REAL listening enjoyment and pick these up...

Its listening the way it used to be.

Customer Reviews:

Why is this out of print?.......2007-04-22

This is an excellent collection and it is a shame that this is out of print here in the US. no fear though, it is still in print in the UK, and simply point yourself to amazon.co.uk or Silva Screen's own website listed in the other review, and pick this up.

What is included here you may wonder? This included most of the tracks from Silva's 1993 collection of Max Steiner themes and suites recorded with the Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra. The Helen of Troy suite was not included because the producer was not happy with that suite. Likewise, a Summer Place has been replaced with new recordings by the Prague Philharmonic.

A number of the other tracks originate from Silva's second collection of Max Steiner themes and suites, released in 1997, only in the UK.

Adventures of Don Juan is from 1997's Swashbucklers of the Silver Screen, while King Kong is from 1998's Monster Movie Music Album.

The Searchers suite goes back to 1994 on Silva's excellent "Music from the Films of John Wayne" compilation.

The only new tracks here were the replacement tracks for A Summer Place, as well as The Charge of the Light Brigade

Silva has since recorded updated suites of Gone With the Wind and Casablanca, released in 2005 on The Incredible Film Music Box, but the suites included here from Kenneth Alwyn and the Westminster Philharmonic are more than adequate.

Magnificent!.......2006-06-07

This is simply a wonderful album. It is also an HDCD. It's wonderful to hear these pieces from long-gone but fondly remembered movies from my childhood. Luckily, some are reappearing on dvd. A definite 5 star album to treasure. Now, please note that the photo of the album is correct. However, the ones "available" from CDNOW Preferred Buyer's Club are NOT the correct album. I ordered it twice from them, and both times I got a single disc of a few excerpts from GWTW only. When I spoke with CDNOW, the rep told me he would notify amazon and have the listing changed, but they have not done so. The guy I spoke with at CDNOW recommended I try eBay, which I did, and I found a copy in England.

"The Godfather of film scoring of historic proportions".......2001-10-10

When I think of the "Golden Age" of Hollywood, one composer stands above the rest ~ Max Steiner...you gave the usher your ticket in the theatre and sat down, knowingly you were going to get your moneys worth, if the composer was Steiner...when the curtain opened and you heard those first few notes, you sat back and watched as the master, with baton worked his magic.

All twenty-six selections give you the feeling you've been there...but, the stand outs in my mind are ~ "KING KONG"..."ADVENTURES OF DON JUAN"..."THE FLAME AND THE ARROW"..."NOW VOYAGER"..."THE TREASURE OF SIERRA MADRE"..."CASABLANCA"..."THE CHARGE OF THE LIGHT BRIGADE"..."THE SEARCHERS"..."A SUMMER PLACE"...and a classic that even the youngsters today recognize "GONE WITH THE WIND", sweeping score that captures the tragic history of the South during the Civil War, one great cue after another, it doesn't get any better than this, nominated by the Academy for Best Original Score.

Silva America as usual, has put quality into this 2-CD-Set featuring The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra, The Westminster Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman and Nic Raine. Recorded in "Dolby Surround" with the new technology of "HDCD", this is a "film-score-buffs" dream, one to treasure now and years to come.

One note, on Disc Two for "SPENCER'S MOUNTAIN", the opening introduction used by Steiner is, "AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL, for Mr. Steiner was a patriot and loved this country so, during these trying times today, this seems to be the realizations of all Americans, more than ever!

Total Time: Disc One 60:17 on 13 Tracks &
Disc Two 60:01 on 13 Tracks
