But how do we know it's his greatest if The Plainsman and The Rare Breed have never been released to be heard on their own as music?

Aye Josh, at the time, those 30 minute CD's were the best we could ever dream of.
While the big labels could throw out some 60-70 minute score presentations, Varese and the composer had to distill the score to that short programme (although I happen to think SOME of those 30 min releases were/are perfect as they are).
Now, years later, with the rules changed, they have so many scores that could be expanded upon but their production line is a bit choked somewhat.
It was obviously good business sense back then to negotiate the deal the way they did.
They now sit on some prime real estate and can make some cash as and when they choose.
I guess our only virtue is patience!
Zippy questioning their “sincerity” came across to me as… well… obnoxious, given the history of Varèse. They are a very active label with a full release schedule of contemporary films as well as their periodic Club and Encore releases. They may not be as prolific with the latter as people might want, which might be disappointing, but they are definitely committed to the art and craft of film scoring.

Definitely. They are releasing a lot of current stuff that would never see the light of day, like film scores by Diego Navarro or higher profile scores like JUPITER ASCENDING.
I wonder how all the scores of all the different labels sell these days... there's only so much of it one can buy and listen to. I am glad it's out there, though. Film music has never been available in such unlimited plentiful supply as it has been these years. I have few grails left, as pretty much all of my real grails (as opposed to "nice to have") have been released.

while the mastery on show in The Cowboys sounds like someone who's about to be zapped by The Force!
