I know we've had our differences in the past, but nice to see you here, Robert!
I'm glad we are both backers of this project and I hope it leads to many more such.

Like everyone else here I rejoice to see William Stromberg back on the podium. And yes let’s hope there are more opportunities for us to support projects like this one.
Indeed! It seems that since this one was funded successfully, there is good hope for more. It might be another Tiomkin Hitchcock as Essankay suggests, sure, because I know Bill Stromberg actually originally wanted to do Shadow of a Doubt even more than Dial M, and he might get conductor's privilege or something. On the other hand, Roger didn't even include Shadow of a Doubt on his poll of potential follow-ups last year...of the Tiomkin Hitchcocks he opted instead to include Strangers on a Train, and it ended up in second-to-last place. So it's possible Intrada might prioritize doing one of the top three vote-getters from that poll instead, if it had any significance:

It would seem we are getting a decent amount of music that went unused in the film for this recording. Roger wrote this in reply to a post by Adriano:
It's funny you mention this because as we were going through the film and score we noticed how low the music was dubbed, making it impossible to hear all the complexity of the composition. And in may cases cues were dialed out (honestly for scenes that didn't really need music anyway) or cut altogether. There's more hear than the film suggests. The orchestra many times asked if certain notes were correct, and in fact in most cases they were...it was Tiomkin really going for some complex writing that was quite unusual. And Yavar is correct, we switched to the RSNO.

I thought the RSNO did very well on the recordings of Red House and Man in Half Moon Street. Also, if you're curious to know how they're performing, you could check out the videos Roger has posted of the sessions.

I take it the RSNO has improved since the 90's? Some of the brass on the Superman re-recording was a bit iffy.
I think most of their performances are good and with sufficient gusto. I'd definitely put them above the Slovak Radio Symphony or say the Seattle Symphony.
I'm curious to hear this new space that they are recording in. It looks pretty cavernous, but there are a lot of mics to offset that.

Roger has just posted a video showing Bill Stromberg and Doug Fake preparing for the recording (going by the video, it looks like they're going through the murder scene):

Wow! This is great! Thanks for posting it. 
Please post anymore if available.
So great that they've all been taken down?
