I would love to listen to these works of Fumio Hayasaka!
(and more if you recommend it. :D)
The soundtrack is included on the first part of three of a collection of Kurosawa movie soundtracks, containing a total of 18 discs. I don’t have it but i will take a look for it.
However you can find more Seven Samurai music on these albums too:
– The Film Music Of Akira Kurosawa (1 CD) (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/big-orchestral-action-music-thread-57893/59.html#post1216387)
– Film Music of Akira Kurosawa (5 CD’s) (http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/big-orchestral-action-music-thread-57893/58.html#post1216066)
On the other hand, if you are interested not only on Seven Samurai but also on other Fumio Hayasaka music, i recommend you to take a look and listen to this excellent recording of his music:

And thank you so much for the http://forums.ffshrine.org/f92/big-orchestral-action-music-thread-57893/226.html#post1497390, I always wanted to know if this music was ever replayed with better recording equipment. 😀
(The old sound does have a nice atmosphere to it.)
Better late than never 🙂
