An instrumental track of "Anatoly and Molokov" (referred to in the score as "The Russian and Molokov") and "Where I Want to Be" from the London version of Chess, music written by Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus, lyrics and book by Tim Rice. Trevor Nunn directed the original production, which starred Elaine Paige, Tommy Körberg, and Murray Head. The music was orchestrated by Anders Eljas.
This track has been slightly adjusted from the original score--in the London score the first measure of the song proper ("What we've just seen...") is meant to vamp under dialogue until the actor playing Molokov is ready to come in. In the source audio used to sync tempos for this track, this measure repeats six times. Believe me when I say this is incredibly irritating to listen to sans the context of the full production, and also becomes rather difficult to cue in were it to be used as an actual backing track. To fix this, I instead repeated six measures of the intro, and moved the windchimes to just before Molokov's entrance, making the section more pleasing to listen to on its own while also being rather easy to cue yourself in on.
