Bernard Herrmann - Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959)

The original soundtrack recording of Journey to the Center of the Earth (1959) is being released for the very first time on CD. This is not a re-recording, but the original music tracks in full, glorious stereophonic sound. The disc sounds spectacular. Every note, every detail can be heard and relished. Even Pat Boone's songs are included. You will experience thrills and chills as you descend towards the center of the earth with this musical masterpiece. Organs, harps, low woodwinds and brass convey the exhiliration of discovery, adventure, and wonderment. This is quintessential Bernard Herrmann and is a must for those that love his music.

Krysztof Komeda - Knife In Water

Here is nice jazz score for one of Polanski's early films. The score flows through sounding like Miles and Coltrane, other times just trying to sound like either or both. This is a great soundtrack - perfect for listening to while cooking.


The last two tracks are for two short films Polanksi did. They are on the Criterion DVD for Knife In Water.
