A mention the other day in another thread of the influence of classical music in film scores reminded me of Bernard Herrmann's eerie/beautiful music that added so much to the original 1951 The Day The Earth Stood Still. I've mentioned this in passing a couple times in the past, but it certainly belongs in Mojo's Stunning Recordings thread.

This is the original 1951 score, but re-recorded in high class sound that will give audio systems, especially subs, a good workout. As with so many film scores, arguably better than the films themselves, and fully able to stand on its own and supply enjoyable listening. Available for about $12 plus shipping from various Amazon sellers .
