for those who didn't know:
Dimitri Tiomkin's milestone score of RED RIVER was recorded in full length for the first time in Moscow in 2002 (suiting, since Dimitri was Russian).
Got my disc today and it sounds GREAT.
There's also an interesting booklet, letting you know more about how Tiomkin and Hawks worked together. Tiomkin was hired to do the score on Hatari! as well but Hawks fired him, removed the complete score, gave the job to Mancini and ended a great friendship because Dimitri put strings in the score which Hawks told him not to. How about searching for a "lost score" for a change?
There's a great photograph in it, too: Hawks blocking out the final fight, as Wayne and Clift look on - and clearly to be seen, Hawks ALREADY wears the Red River D bucklet. Always figured he had them made later on.
(Red River's score had been recorded before, for the LP "The Western Film World of Dimitri Tiomkin, but that was only three tracks or so).
