Although Kubrick from the beginning planned to inferior his film with classical music, the composer probably most interesting Hollywood has been committed from the studio: Alex North. He tried with his music to bring out the significance of this abstruse film. And it would also have succeeded would have let him do that! Unfortunately, his music has been rejected by the Director. Colleague Jery Goldsmith took care of the music and picked it up for this CD. Fantastic alternately wild, oblique and mystical sounds of a huge symphonic orchestra. Recommended for fans of modern symphonic and progressive soundtracks. PS It's worth it to try the DVD / VIDEO version abgeschatltenem sound to see and present this music to. The result is a completely different experience!
