Hearing or seeing film scores performed separate from their intended movies can be a revelation. Here are two samples of Frank Skinner compositions for the Universal Monsters. "Death of Ygor" is from "The Son of Frankenstein" and the live performance is from "Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein." Both are conducted by William Stromberg.
One really "get's it" that these are great pieces of music when listening/watching without the movie! Amazing.
