Ah, that piano is recorded very nicely on the Bernard Herrmann track. You only hear that kind of "room" on older recordings.

@Cecile: Herrmann did so many great scores, but I actually didn't know he did that "exotic" sci-fi one as well as his conventional dramatic scores.
Avatar 3:12pm

yes, it was a surprise to me back in the day too. I saw the day the earth stood still as a kid after I saw Taxi Driver, and I was blown away to know Herrmann did both.
