Its being assembled for another label which specialises in all things Elmer Bernstein..
That sounds more like Varese than Intrada to me.
Either way, looking forward to it.

If this ends up coming out I would snag it up in a heartbeat, as I love those big epic Biblical scores. The films were amazing and its always been a tradition in my family (when I was younger) to watch these films during the Easter season.

Hoping for an Intrada, La La Land or Varese release. Concerned that might be a Kritzerland release, since they release many Bernstein scores.

So, Number 250 is 'The Wild Bunch'! Good luck to all those who like it but I'm afraid it leaves me cold.
For me the big quesrtion now is - will we be getting 'The Ten Commandments' from someone? Judging by the comment made when someone asked if the score was to be re-recorded by Tadlow it seemed that a release of the original soundtrack was 'in the wind'. I certainly hope so as, for my money, this score ranks as one of the best Biblical scores ever.

I agree completely. I was disappointed that FSM chose this title for their last release. I was hoping for something that had never been released before. I have the single disc of this score manufactured by SAE years ago and that's enough for me.
I'm with you both. Never had much interest in Fielding's music. I'd buy some, or even borrow CD's from the library, and I've never cottoned to any of it. Had the single CD of THE WILD BUNCH, but ended up selling it.
Making FSM's grand 250th and Final score making them seem as if they're going out not with a bang, but a whimper....
THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, on the other hand....
Now THAT would be a real source of Joy!

Why in the world would this "concern" you?
I love The Ten Commandments but I only own 3 Kritzerland CDs. When compares Kritzerland CDs, inlays, etc. they our not up to the standards of the 3 labels I above. CDs feel thinner or flimzy (?) to others. Composer names on front inlays are hard to read, etc. I will purchase The Ten Commandments, just hope it comes from the best of the best to give release the treatment it needs.

As Elmer Bernstein scores go, THE TEN COMMANDMENTS is major, no doubt. But I don't think its Bernstein's best work. For biblical pageantry and pathos, no one has ever outdone Newman's THE ROBE. Rozsa got close with BEN-HUR. I'll consider buying this if the sound is beyond belief, as it is for La-La Land's release of THE ROBE.

It would be perfectly fine with me for Kritzerland to be the company to release THE TEN COMMANDMENTS, since there just simply is no chance that Bruce Kimmel would short-change this mammoth score by his often-stated favorite composer. I suspect it will be INTRADA doing the honors. While I would/will buy it in any event, even if Varese does it, I would just hope that they (Varese) could concentrate their efforts on the music at hand and not do another SPARTACUS on us. (Not a Varese hater, just sayin'.)
