Eisenstein's "Alexander Nevsky"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

I've has this laserdisk for yonks but as we are visiting Russia (and Novgorod) next month decided it was time to look at this 1938 classic.
Well, I was blown away. The B&W photography is brilliant, but the remastered soundtrack was what surprised me most. The music was re-recorded in 1993 in excellent audio (Tony Faulkner as engineer so no surprise).
We enjoy movies but my wife is usually most unenthusiastic about early movies but she enjoyed "Alexasnder Nevsky".
Now I also have "Ivan the Terrible", parts 1 & 2 but the soundtrack is abysmal and the subtitles hard to read. Has this been remastered for DVD with a better soundtrack?
