FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS – Victor YOUNG (conducted by Ray Heindorf)

Well, I should have come up with that one long ago ! So obvious… 😉 So this is a rip from the glorious 1958 Stereo LP and it sounds like recorded yesterday morning. Oustanding sonics. Cover is too large to scan and that’s a pity because is simply the most beautiful LP front cover EVER !

And the score is simply Victor Young’s best one, as one of the greatest soundtracks ever composed for the screen either. A thrilling masterpiece. I hope you’ll enjoy this. Track 7 will blow you away !

2. Travel To The Cave-The Gypsy
3. Pilar
4. Warning In The Night
5. Maria’s Story

Fantastic sound and the bells ring out loud and clear. I can hear an influence on the Batman TV theme too. This was the first complete score from an American film to be issued on record. Thanks for sharing this great music Robert.

Thank you!! I love this soundtrack 😀

Many thanks for your kind words. And I didn’t know that cover you have posted. The cover of my LP is the one I posted in the first post. Did they release the Lp with two different covers at that time ?

Thank you for the LP rip and cover!

The cover you posted is from the 1991 Stanyan CD release as well, a very rare CD indeed.

Robert Jordan…This movie must have a profound effect on you hence your avatar name and picture!!

Indeed ! One of my both favorite movie AND score AND book, even if the movie is a complete betrayal of the book. Great movie worth seeing in its extended cut. Just love those amazing close-ups, the beautiful photography, Ingrid… And what a score !

Thank you for this one ! I’ve got also the LP of that radio drama featuring a complete different score – I guess this is stock music – and this is the cover front :

I agree with the first half of that statement. 😉

Thanks a lot for this upload!

Thanks for this superb score, Robert – I saw the movie 2 or 3 times, which is very impressive in its own right, but didn’t remember how good the score was (to be honest, I don’t have any scores at all from Victor Young, either!). And this is a fantastic sounding LP rip, like you said!

Yes indeed very nice LP rip to be sure.

Many thanks
: )

This sounds sensational! Is it your vinyl rip? Either way, thank you.
