It's no exaggeration to say that Maurice Murphy's playing indirectly shaped popular culture. The impacts of Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark and Superman on geekdom and the entertainment industry in general would have been significantly smaller without his gleaming, heroic playing heralding those stories. It's impossible to think of those movies without thinking about his sound and phrasing.
Not much to say about the absolutely outstanding performance of Mr. Murphy, but its interesting how the orchestral accompaniment in this recording is so much better than the worldly famous Timofei one.
