I am typing thousands of CD listings...no time to write anything meaningful today!

Only strings!

This would be marvelous to hear live, it would fit perfectly in a programme featuring other great string-only pieces like the Tallis Fantasia by Ralph Vaughan Williams and Barber's Adagio. Interesting to note that JW wrote an Essay for strings in 1965 after Previn urged him to write a concert piece. There are some similarities between the two pieces.
Agree such a stunner of music it was usually Jerry Goldsmith doing this type of film
The legacy of Kirk Douglas was really trashed with what came out about him and his abuse of Natalie Wood. Just a hideous person.
JW really channeling Benny on this work. I have to either marvel or call bs this album was knocked out during free overtime with the LSO after the Superman sessions, and this album only piece was jotted one evening while he was at the hotel!
How I wish JW had gone further in this direction over the years, but hey at least we have The Fury.
