Subject: TASHI music score Masterpiece

This version of Nanook is the 1973 version with the music score written by Stanley Silverman and performed by TASHI, including Peter Serkin, Ida Kavafian, Fred Sherry, and Richard Stoltzman. This sound track is not available on the DVD or some of the other VHS tapes. It is what makes Nanook of the North a masterpiece, rather than just the 'first' documentary, in my opinion.
