Agreed. One other change in the Bernstein recording was in "Sorrow" where the violin/cello duet is presented by the whole orchestra - an alternate version perhaps? It gives a more massive sound but it's a different effect than the more intimate sound of the original. And of course the "Andante Cantabile" wasn't recorded.
I noted the difference in the track "Sorrow." with Bernstein's epic orchestral overlay - and just love it. That soaring pathos is almost too beautiful to bear. It might not have worked with the film but I sure am grateful to have it - the highlight of the album for me.
Last night I was watching the news and when it became commercial time I went over to TCM and there were the lady and the captain about to be invaded by her in-laws. Got caught up and ended up switching back to news late. Next commercial break did the same thing. And then again. This film and score are downright addictive even in small bites.
