Finally! 2-CD world premier of original soundtrack from epic Andrew V. McLaglen Civil War mini-series with Lloyd Bridges, Robert Vaughn, Gregory Peck. Bruce Broughton tackles then-biggest project to date with massive score, bookends with rousing theme that plays as training ground for later SILVERADO masterpiece. In between are warm rural themes, dramatic segments, dynamic action cues. Just one of many highlights: Tiny 4-note motif introduced with "Stone Bridge at Bull Run" becomes powerful, rhythmic anchor for action music to follow. Exciting idea! Entire 2-hour score presented in stereo from only surviving complete 1/4" two-track master elements mixed by engineer Robert Fernandez at recording sessions, made available courtesy Sony Pictures. Bruce Broughton conducts. Intrada Special Collection release limited to 2000 copies!
