Editorial Reviews

One of Hollywood's first great screen composers, Max Steiner wrote the music for this 1935 fantasy about an adventurer who falls under the spell of an immortal queen. Steiner was just two years removed from his King Kong triumph; this splendid-sounding re-recording features William Stromberg conducting the Moscow Symphony Orchestra and Chorus!

5.0 out of 5 stars She is like the best of Stravinski, August 21, 2010

I cant seem to stop listening to this. It like Stravinski, a little Right of Spring, and is operatic, without singing. The performance is unlike anything I have ever heard. I was going to say that it sounds like the best of Pavo Berglund, or Bernard Haiting, but it doesn't, hes different and the music is conducted different. I cant explain it, you have to hear it for yourself. What is also amazing is the recording. 96kz. It sounds like listening to it live. Bill Stromberg is a genius

STEINER before WARNER BROS. crafts an exotic musical statement, this is a rich interpretation and a revelation. How could you deny the power of the score he did for KING KONG the first truly great movie music, this is differant maybe better,...there are moments of SUBLIME intensity, and exotic beauty... Stromberg knew what he was doing,the previous version available was a bad sounding issue of STEINER's original rendition for the movie, this recording thrives, I have a classical music library of several thousand CDs and this ranks somewhere of high honor in that collection. Buy it, put it on and experiance what wonderful music is supposed to do, it will guide you through your imagination . BUY IT NOW!,
