Compare and Contrast

Something for the weekend.  Two versions of Franz Waxman’s immortal Ride to Dubno, aka Ride of the Cossacks:   dueling pianists and the full Hollywood treatment in the 1962 movie Taras Bulba for which the song was composed.  Great to listen to if you need an energy boost.

I love Waxman.

That was inspiring!

Great compare & contrast. I liked the score better with the dueling pianists, but the action sequence of the other gave me something to look at.

Good stuff.
