This Vienna recording is good considering the technical challenges of recording this kind of repertoire live but it is not overtly spectacular in the way Telarc clearly sought to be. Arguably the Telarc approach did not always serve the music it recorded but to my ear in this type of film music it did. Perhaps I'm just a fan of bass-drum concerti! My favourite ever cue they recorded was Superman - The Planet Krypton - all bass drum fans check it out.....
We've probably all been spoilt for oomph in the Imperial March by the Cincinnati Pops/Kunzel version, delivered in typical Telarc 'concerto for bass-drum and orchestra' style.
