So all these catalogs don't include film scores? I dunno if any of the other composers on these posts had them, but Frankel certainly did -- CPO released a sadly OOP great disc with excepts from a bunch of them, as well as a disc with Battle of the Buldge. Marco Polo/Naxos also has a disc (hmmm listening to the excepts I may even have to get that one)

I suppose that it depends whether film scores should be counted under orchestral music or as a separate genre, as they usually are, even though they are played by an orchestra

I have not included the film music written by Frankel or any other composer whose orchestral music I have catalogued. In the case of Frankel I realise that this was extensive. Happy to add it, perhaps at some later date ;D
