"It's hard to believe that no one before now has made a complete recording of this, one of Korngold's most famous and beloved film scores--but it certainly has been worth the wait. Beautifully restored by John Morgan, and with the Moscow Symphony on the best form we have seen so far, you now can enjoy 78 glorious minutes of some of the most evocative and colorful music ever to take the screen... the Moscow Symphony Orchestra under William Stromberg manages the necessary richness of texture that the music requires...There have been many fine releases in Marco Polo's film music series, but none better or more important that this--a self-recommending acquisition if ever there were one."

Thanks

Thanks tri2061990 for this wonderful Korngold post. Now let's hope John Morgan is busily at work on a restoration and recording of CAPTAIN BLOOD.

Thanks A LOT!

I was looking for this...Thank you so much...

It's a must!! Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you very much.

Thanks!

I've just gotta say thank you for this one.

I will D/L now...( But I listen Glass...2 Word Probably...but who care )

Thank you very much.

Awesome! I had this already, but only at a measly 192 kbps. Thank you very much!

The files seem to have been removed. When I click the download links on the minus.com page I am directed to what looks like an image sharing webpage with no reference to the FLAC file. Can you reupload the files?

I too have the same problems like Josuacliftojm .. Could you kindly re-up please?

EDIT:
The download source I mentioned in my original post below is no longer available. However, I just learned that in May, 2015 Naxos re-released this album as catalog number 8.573369. It has the same 25 tracks, but with an additional track at the end with the original theatrical trailer music. The new album has the same cover art, but with a banner over the top that says "Film Music Classics". Look for the album on Amazon (search for "Robin Hood Stromberg" or a similar search phrase) and be sure to get the 2015 Naxos Film Music Classics release, not the Amazon CDR release.

Now that there is a way to purchase this album as (I hope) a professional quality production, I will not be offering the album as a download as I do not condone music piracy except in cases where the music is not available for sale (at a reasonable price), or, as in this case previously, is only available at very poor production value. If I find out that there is something wrong with the new Naxos release, I may offer this download again.

By the way, to find out if you have the bad copy of the album, look for the following defects:
Track 23 at 4:59 - CD skipping sound
Tracks 19, 22, 23, and 24 - Gaps between these and the next tracks cause small interruptions in the music


ORIGINAL POST:
melody man, I found another source for this soundtrack: [URL removed due to target being no longer available]. I had purchased this CD from Amazon months ago only to find out that it is a poorly produced CDR with data flaws (including an audible CD-skipping sound) and no booklet. Amazon makes these CDR copies on demand. The original album is no longer available. That is why I'm looking for a download.

The link I provided is for a gapless CD rip, by which I mean that all the tracks are one huge FLAC file. I separated them into individual tracks using foobar2000 because I prefer them that way and they all verify with AccurateRip. I also tagged them extensively. If you like, I can upload them to my personal server and provide you with a link via private message.

thanks

re-up? :)

Mefi, see my reply above (#16 dated 10-28-2013). Naxos has re-released this album as catalog number 8.573369. So it is no longer available only as a bad CDR copy, and does not need to be pirated. Let's thank Naxos by buying the CD. There is even a bonus track. On Amazon, the ASIN# is B00V872FLQ. Here is the product URL:

https://www.amazon.com/Adventures-Robin-Hood-William-Stromberg/dp/B00V872FLQ/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1467069913&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Naxos+Robin+Hood+Stromberg+8.573369

Make sure you get the Naxos release and not Amazon's CDR copy. The good version has the "Film Music Classics" filmstrip banner over the top of the cover art.

If so, we can close the entire ffshrine forums, because most of the music posted here can be legally bought in one way or another :)

I have obtained a lot of music through this forum that is not available for sale (and for a reasonable price). Mostly video game soundtracks. It is very useful for that purpose. There is a lot of obscure and out of print music that cannot be found except through piracy channels, and I am thankful to those who provide that music to me. I consider that to be the beneficial and ethical side of digital piracy. It keeps art alive and spreading after the publishing companies have lost interest in it. I found this thread in my search to find a replacement for the album reproduction by Amazon, which was the only legal way to obtain the music, but which turned out to be an insult to the original recording.

By the way, I am a "lossless snob", meaning that I like all my music to be in lossless quality (FLAC is my preference) even though I'm pretty sure I'll never hear the difference. But Amazon and iTunes, as far as I know, only offer lossy music (MP3 or AAC) for download. So my way of getting the product I want while abiding by the rules of my conscience (not to pirate music if it is available for legitimate sale at a reasonable price) is to purchase the lossy copy so the artist and distributor get their due, but rather than download that, I go elsewhere and "pirate" the lossless version. A little silly, perhaps, but it works for me. I also sometimes pirate the music first to try it before buying it. I mention this for the sake of anyone else whose conscience bothers them when they pirate music due to not wanting it in lossy format.

I only recently learned that there are some digital music distribution companies that offer music in lossless format, so that is now sometimes an option.

Just so you know, it seems that the original poster is no longer monitoring this thread. I don't think the original download has been available since at least late 2013, which is when I found the thread. I had to go elsewhere to find the album, and even that source is no longer available.

Dude, you don't have to explain yourself to me :) I agree on most of what you've written, but still it is impossible to buy every soundtrack available (even at a reasonable price). Peace.

New link updated.

Thank you!

many grateful thanks tri2061990!!!
