Hope you don't mind the plea for help - this one is for the record collectors. If anyone reading can help with information I'll be hugely grateful
I'm in the middle of writing draft 0.1 for the Ligeti Requiem chapter of my thesis, and I've hit a minor snag. I'm trying to track down the recording of Ligeti's Requiem that Stanley Kubrick uses in 2001. According to every source I can find (including the film credits and the soundtrack LP itself) this is from a recording by the Bavarian Radio Orchestra (and Chorus, although bizarrely they don't always get the credit) conducted by Francis Travis. Now, I'm well aware of the Wergo recording (the first recording) with the Bavarian Radio Chorus, the Hessisches Radio SO and Michael Gielen conducting (I've got this one); but I can't find any reference to the Travis recording from which Kubrick took his soundtrack. (As well as the Requiem, I believe Atmospheres comes from the same recording.)
Does anyone know anything about this recording? Google, Discogs and Gemm are all throwing up nothing, as are the discographies at the back of Steinitz and Griffiths' books on Ligeti, and I'm a bit stuck. If you can give me a label, or some other bit of info to help find it, that would be a massive help - I'm really keen to find this.
Thanks in advance.
(Obviously I don't mean any of the soundtrack albums, I'm after the original recording that Kubrick himself used)
