On the film music board, there was some discussion about the old Bay Cities CD of Korngold's Elizabeth and Essex, which was reissued by Varese. My memory of it was that we all thought it was great (it was Bay Cities first big original orchestral recording), but when I heard it a few years ago that I was astonished that the sound wasn't at all what I remembered. And now, it doesn't sound half-bad. There's some sketchy playing in the opening track, but the sound, while a big "digital" and harsh on the brass, is not an embarrassment.
