4.0 out of 5 stars This is The Real Thing, December 10, 1999

This review is from: Star Trek: Newly Recorded Music From Selected Episodes Of The Paramount TV Series (Charlie X, The Carbomite Maneuver, Mudd's Women, The Doomsday Machine) (Audio CD)

The most important thing to know about this CD is that, although it is newly recorded, it is extremely faithful to what you heard in the show. Fred Steiner re-created the original Star Trek orchestrations, especially for the tracks he composed back in 1966. You'd swear that The Corbomite Maneuver was from the original soundtrack, only with better audio quality. He was less precise in duplicating The Doomsday Machine by Sol Kaplan, but Steiner's version is good in it's own right. A definite buy for fans of the classic music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Classisal Music!, October 8, 2003

David Finlay (Northern Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Star Trek: Newly Recorded Music From Selected Episodes Of The Paramount TV Series (Charlie X, The Carbomite Maneuver, Mudd's Women, The Doomsday Machine) (Audio CD)

I just want to recomend this c.d.I am a big fan of the orginal Star Trek series and recently started buying the D.V.D.s and when I heard the music for the Corbomite Maneuver boy I just had to have it.
All the peices are excellent and I would recomend this album to any classical music lover.
Sadly these tv composers where not really accepted by the classical crowd but all to their loss not ours as because if these composers where obscure 19th centuary finds they would be climbing over each other to hear them.

Trust me you will enjoy them.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some of the most memorable music from the series., July 19, 2003

When listening to this music you can almost see the episode unspooling in your mind. I don't think there is a Star Trek fan out there who wouldn't want these recording in their collections. Recommended.
