Eng: Robert Auger

composed by JACK NITZSCHE and conducted by David Measham

led by John Brown / [21 only] Hans Geiger

Ten sessions with a large orchestra including seventy-five strings (16,14,20,15, 10), were booked for this score, which was intended to replace a rejected one by Lalo Schifrin. As Nitzsche was unable to complete the score owing to an injured hand, most of his work was discarded in favour of excerpts from pre-existing commercial recordings of pieces by Penderecki, Henze, Crumb, Webern and others. For the soundtrack album these were re-recorded by Leonard Slatkin and the National Philharmonic Orchestra.
