Possibly, I hadn't thought of that. I was just going to jump to the original soundtrack when the Kostal one cuts out (if I couldn't salvage a bit from later on in the track) but a modern replacement might be OK, too. Anyone know what orchestra was used? I could try to find a recording done by that orchestra...
There is a severe edit of about 15 measures during the "Awakening of Happy Feelings Upon Entering the Countryside" movement of the Pastoral symphony (possibly scenes with Sunflower) on the Kostal CD. I know what you mean - 2 CDs and they couldn't fit everything? Maybe that's why the Disney corp. didn't release it as an alternate soundtrack. Also, the Night on Bald Mountain section speeds up. A lot. I'm really struggling working with it to try to make it not so noticeable. I don't know if they listened to the old soundtrack while making the new one, or just watched the film while making the new one. If anyone knows, that would help me quite a bit (and would explain a few things, too).
