The Magnificent Seven

Composer: Elmer Bernstein
Total Time: 64:26
Availability: ****
Rating: *****

A re-recording by the Phoenix Symphony Orchestra, conducted by James Sedares. The CD was released in 1994. And it is recommend by Elmer Bernstein. A classic western score for a classic western film of Yul Brynner. (The theme was often heard on one cigarette commercial) Very powerful main theme. The other tracks are not that well known but they are very good. It also has a track for the music of Hallelujah Trail, one of my favorite track on the CD. The track is very joyful and filled with energy.
