Love Theme From Spartacus

it made me feel sorry that i have been a lil depressive recently... it made me feel i am in love again..

an incredible song... i can listen to it thousand times..

yea it's overdubbed
The entire album, from which this piece is taken from, "Conversations with Myself" was overdubbed in many places.

bill evans is simply pure genius

It's a beautiful song

this brings a tear to my eye

Peace Dr. Shelley:

Knowing the original makes the first impression, and listening to other renditions that  compliment the primary score. Personal preference and choice (with any musical genre) has a lot to do with individual taste, as much as it has to do with a basically well executed performance, which does a theme justice.

I'm no expert, or critic, but I believe that others feel and share some of the same sentiments when listening to certain selections.

Inspirador, motivador, conmovedor... Evans.

I've heard the Ahmad Jamal version and it ranks up there... Some months ago I listened to the Yusef Lateef rendition and it's really over the top! It was so in tune with the visual aspect of the film's pathos and centralized love theme evoked between the main characters. The song is riveted in my memory from 40+ yrs. back, and I still find the original theme and the better popular renditions, emotionally charged, poetic, and beautiful!

I read your comment a while ago and its been bugging me everytime I listen to this song... I LOVE this version, and only stumbled across it a lil while prior to. But I heard the Lateef's version ages ago, which I also LOVE, and I have to say whilst comparing the two together I would think that Evans version is "really Over The Top" especially with the overdubbing. I agree with everything else you mentioned :-)...
