As the only CD editions of this score (to my knowledge, Varese Sarabande's of 1989 and el/Cherry Red's of 2008) used the LP masters, I wonder if there's scope for improved sound quality by going to the Paramount music vaults for the original elements? (All previous editions of this title have been plagued by 'archival' sound quality.)
Contrary to the original LP liner notes, there isn't a huge amount of dramatic scoring (considering the length of the movie, 208 minutes) and it could easily be accommodated on a single CD.

I see Music Box will be issuing a three disc box set of Nino Rota's film music for the period 1956-61. While this does include WAR AND PEACE, it seems to be the same old LP mix. I don't think any amount of remastering can overcome the sonic deficiencies inherent here. If only there was a better source. (If there was, I presume it might be released one day by Quartet, which has done sterling work with this composer.)
