Alex North's 2001

Stanley Kubrick originally approached composer Alex North to write the score for 2001. During the editing process, he decided instead to use existing classical music for the film. Some prefer this rejected score, recorded for the first time by Jerry Goldsmith and the National Philharmoic Orchestra.
