It is the Karajan Vienna Philharmonic recording on Decca. Decca didn't allow it to be listed in the credits and I am sure they regretted it.

I can't make up my mind between four that have been mentioned and one no one has listed yet

The Bond Theme
Star Wars
Superman
Rocky

Viva Max the movie is a bit dumb but Al Hirt playing the opening theme is quite good.

Anyone remember the cartoon "superfriends"? That had a bitchin' theme full of brass.

Anything from John Williams makes it on my list. Theme from E.T., Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, all of the Star Wars episodes, Close Encounters...etc. The list goes on.

I remember hearing this in a film music class in in grad school. There was a whole soundtrack written for the film, that was never used. Kubrick just through it out, just before finishing the film, and went with the reference pieces. I bet it would seem llke a completely different film

An interesting clip: from Wicki

Quote:

The film is remarkable for its innovative use of classical music taken from existing commercial recordings. Major feature films were (and still are) typically accompanied by elaborate film scores and/or songs written especially for them by professional composers. In the early stages of production, Kubrick had actually commissioned a score for 2001 from noted Hollywood composer Alex North, who had written the stirring score for Spartacus and also worked on Dr. Strangelove. However, on 2001 Kubrick did much of the filming and editing using, as his guides, the classical recordings which eventually became the music track. In March of 1966, MGM became concerned about 2001's progress and Kubrick put together a show reel of footage to the ad hoc soundtrack of classical recordings. The studio bosses were delighted with the results and Kubrick decided to use these 'guide pieces' as the final musical soundtrack, and he abandoned North's score. Kubrick failed to inform North that his music had not been used and, to his dismay, North did not discover this until he saw the movie just prior to its release.[43] What survives of North's soundtrack recordings has been released as a "limited edition" CD from Intrada Records. All the music North originally wrote was recorded commercially by North's friend and colleague Jerry Goldsmith with the National Philharmonic Orchestra and was released on Varese Sarabande CDs shortly after Telarc's first theme release but before North's death.

Trumpet movie themes:

I like all of the John Williams stuff with Tim Morrison as a soloist; Born on the 4th of July, JFK, Apollo 13, etc.

I like the trumpet work on the Incredibles - Rick Baptist & Wayne Bergeron

Malcom McNabb - LA Confidential

Completely different - Randy Brecker/Toots Theilman on Theme from Arthur

Way to many great ones to name.

More than one obviously but my favorite is Godfather and not just the theme song but the whole soundtrack.
