Presented through combined efforts of Stanley Kubrick estate, Alex North family, restoration authority Nick Redman, other persons related to project. Assembled from sole surviving mono mixdown safety master made by engineer Eric Tomlinson for composer during recording sessions. Recent discovery of long lost tape allows original performance of vibrant, complex work to shine. Stunning orchestral textures; hugely expanded brass section; incredible array of timpani all get spotlight. In balance are reflective ideas, moments for intimate solo voice against vibraphone, harp, other subtle textures. Also included is an essay by Jon Burlingame, revealing new details about the history behind the score, including North's collaboration with Kubrick and providing what will most likely be the most comprehensive story ever written about this rejected score.
