I'm glad to see this thread, as there has been some great music composed for film.
Tonight I'm going to listen to listen to Erich Wolfgang Korngold's music from The Sea Hawk.
Rumon Gamba conducts the BBC Philharmonic. Chandos CHAN 10438. Mr. Gamba has arranged the music into 6 movements, that plays like an opera.
So the wine is poured, the house lights are dimming, and Maestro Gamba has taken the stage greeted the Concert Master, and is now on the podium.

Originally intended to be written by William Walton, the score is predominantly the work of Ron Goodwin, with Walton's "Battle in the Air" sequence and screen-credits coda included. apparently to mollify Walton's friend Sir Laurence Olivier. who portrayed RAF Fighter Command chief Air Marshal Sir Hugh Dowding in the film.

Rip of a CD apparently made using the soundtrack master, with some "sweetening" added here and there by engineer Eric Tomlinson. Judging by the excellent sonics, he did good. :-)

A remix of the entire Jerry Goldsmith-composed 1976 soundtrack, juxtaposing electronic music (for scenes within the city) and orchestral (for scenes outside).

Rip of a 2-CD reissue by Quartet Records of both Jerry Goldsmith's complete score and what parts of it were actually used in the soundtrack of this stylized caper film. Superb sonics.

Rip of a Quartet 2-CD release.

Goldsmith's score for Von Ryan's Express includes a not-so-subtle hint or two at what was to come in Patton five years later. And a very brief look-ahead cue to Tora! Tora! Tora! as well.

The program booklet discusses in some detail the compromises Goldsmith had to make--no, make that "swallow"--in getting his musical take on The Blue Max to the screen. There was even an ever-so-slight chance that director John Guillermin would get the jump on Stanley Kubrick in appropriating Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra as Blue Max's opening theme. This release has both the complete score, including a number of the unused or alternate tracks and cues the composer wrote for the film, and the final soundtrack.

Excellent sound.

A Tadlow-label 2-CD release of the City of Prague Philharmonic performing Maurice Jarre's complete score for the 1966 film depicting the August 1944 liberation of Paris, plus concert suites of the scores he wrote for The Night of the Generals, The Train, Weekend at Dunkirk, and The Damned, as well as a suite from Is Paris Burning?.

The performances and sound quality are first-rate.

A Tadlow-produced Prometheus Records 2-CD re-recording of Dimitri Tiomikin's full score for the 1964 epic Fall of the Roman Empire, with Nic Raine conducting the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Producer Samuel Bronston had expected Miklos Rozsa, who had just scored Bronston's El Cid, to compose Roman Empire, but they'd had a falling out over substantial cuts the sound editor made to Cid's score. So Bronston hired Tiomkin, who wrote the 138 minutes of music in this set.

This is an expansive score, fitting for the film's epic scale--Roman Emplire can be considered an alternative-universe version of 2000's Gladiator that begins with the same premise (Emperor Marcus Aurelius' death) but proceeds along a substantially different story arc. Unlike Rozsa, Tiomkin did not attempt to infuse any sense of musical "authenticity" into his score, but rather aimed at punctuating the film's raw emotional energy.

Gut-level performance in excellent sound.
