The Spellbound Score
Mikos Rozsa's Oscar-winning score from Spellbound has been recorded numerous times, besides the original soundtrack album. But the score is equally famous in the form of a piano concerto that Rozsa composed in response to the popularity of the musical themes. This is the version you can hear here from Naxos. The complete score, including the Theremin (electronic) theme, is well worth getting, but to my knowledge it's not on Naxos. The main themes (including the lovers' Scherzo, the jaunty music heard when the lovers spend the day outdoors) are included in the Spellbound Concerto heard in the link included here.
In many recordings the Theremin music is played by a regular (acoustic) instrument instead of the Theremin.
