Title: The Ultimate Movie Soundtrack
Review: This is the apotheosis of Stanley Kubrick's superb use of 'borrowed' music in his movies. With this movie, Kubrick probably singlehandedly multiplied interest in Richard Strauss' music by a thousandfold, and interest in Gyorgi Ligeti's music by at least a hundredfold. It certainly had that effect on me. One may certainly be just as well off with recordings of each of the individual performances; however, you probably really want all the original performances, especially since there is a good chance you may end up with a version of 'Zarathustra' which sounds nothing at all like Von Karajan's iconic interpretation. In addition to Strauss, Strauss (Johan), and Ligeti, I am very fond of the Katachatuian 'Gayne Ballet Suite', which happens to be pretty hard to find on a recording of its own. At least it was the last time I looked.
