The BEST possible selection of a pre-existing musical score.

Rating: Null/10 (17 January 1999)

I first discovered Bela Barotk's "Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste" in 1957 as college student. The library listening room was in the basement and had no windows. I usually listened in total darkness and let the chill bumps run wild. I often similarly shared excerpts with my music appreciation classes over the next 20+ years and it always stirred a sense of terror.
What a joy in 1980 to find the perfect movie to go with the music! It also went great with the book! The music, the movie, and the book all stand individually at the peak of their art forms and wonderfully compliment one another.
