For the 1935 film, here are selections from Korngold's powerful score. From the Tony Thomas' liner notes:
"Ironically, Korngold was reluctant to take a complete bow for Captain Blood, partially because brief bits of Liszt were employed when time ran short in scoring sessions, plus a couple of engaging cues by Korngold orchestrator Milan Roder. In the end, Korngold insisted he be credited only with musical adaptations, even though he scored nearly the entire film with original music. Such creative integrity would prove rare in this field."
Performed by the Brandenburg Philharmonic Orchestra
Conducted by Richard Kaufman
The recording also includes other movie music, available on the Naxos label: naxos.com/catalogue/item.asp?item_code=8.557704
