This is an expanded version that appeared briefly on John Lasher’s Label X in 2008. Being a big fan of the score, I snapped it up. But the extra tracks were of variable quality, and even one of the previously released tracks sounded worse here than on the earlier album. So, disappointed, I sold it.
However, I did keep a CD-R copy. I also did some work on the bonus tracks – my memory may be faulty but I think the volume on the left or right channels was too low, so I fixed that. And I went back to the earlier CD for the 10 previously released tracks.
There was one more bonus track on the CD, "The Cardinal’s Jackal" – but it was in such poor quality that it felt like the musical equivalent of a poke in the eye every time I played it, so I didn’t keep that track. Sorry!
Anyway, here’s a somewhat expanded version of Lalo Schifrin’s terrific THE FOUR MUSKETEERS. Artwork, as usual, is my own.

Missing Track – Cardinal’s Jackal (https://mega.nz/#!Sl0TQZpJ!lOvbQPEYHx9PSk8UDspQ2FuQErJNoQmPxv6C8dOMRRw)
It is only in MP3 sadly – feedthecats, sorry, I hope this isn’t breaking any forum etiquette? And thank you for sharing the majority of the album, I forgot I had it on a hard drive somewhere so it’s been nice to revisit it.
No, that’s great, many thanks for letting people hear it 🙂 (If I’d had it myself I would have included it as a bonus track.)
Legend has it that Michel Legrand, who scored the original The Three Musketeers, thought that Schifrin’s sequel score was so poor he offered to re-score the film for free!
OTOH, another story has it that Legrand squandered so much of the music budget on the first film (film simultaneously with this one) that Schifrin had only a tiny orchestra at his disposal for The Four Musketeers.
I actually like Schifrin’s score (he reworked some of the material for his Guitar Concerto), but – truth be told – Legrand’s score is infinitely superior. 😉
may i have the link for this great movie’s score please
thanks
I hope it is still time to get it!
Many warm thanks in advance! 🙂
Many thanks dear feedthecats! 😉

On behalf of the rest of the inhabitants of the universe let me offer profound thanks!
We can all sleep better knowing that you are capable of contempt . . . or maybe just contemptible.
This thread isn’t about the movie, it’s about the music. Do you have contempt for Lalo Schifrin as well?
Personally, I abhor anything ever written, including these lines, though I admit I can of like the word "abhor"
thanks FTC
everything is too much, but amityville, mission impossible? cmon! do you have a soul? do you like bacon? (scratch that last out, thatd be cannibalistic)
Ive got my doubts about the movie though, but theres young faye dunaway, that makes it worthwhile in my book
