Varèse Sarabande (01/01/1970)

Booklet and Album Artwork Add Recording to my Collection

Editor's Note from HZDB

This version of the score is used for the European distribution of the movie. The original score for the US release was written by the British musician Chaz Jankel. His music can be also heard on imported versions from Japan and Korea, although the Jankel score was never released as a soundtrack album. Varèse Sarabande issued the Zimmer score in two different packages, one entitled Original Motion Picture Soundtrack for the European market and one entitled Music inspired by the film K2 for the markets where the movie with the Jankel score was released. Beside the two different covers and sleeves the recordings are identical.

All equipment supplied by those fine gentlemen at SYCO Systems, who else!

My special thanks to Nick Glennie-Smith who wrote and arranged a couple of brilliant cues for this film, which through no fault of his own have been omitted from this record (but he got to play the Hammond, so he's happy, I hope).

Richard Harvey somehow found time in his busy schedule to perform the more ethnic sounding instruments on this score.

Those very loud drums are the creation of the very fabulous Graham Ward

The solo cello was performed by Anthony Pleath

The solo viola was performed by David Emanuell

My greatest pleasure throughout the recording of this score was the chance to work with Pete Haycock again, truly one of the finest guitarists I know.

I'd like to thank
Sam Schwartz, Mike Gorfaine, Bob Weinstein, Harvey Weinstein, Franc Roddam, Karina Cooper, Emma Burnham, Andrew Stirling, Steve Paine, Tonia Daval and Nicole Jacobs
