5.0 out of 5 stars My Favorite of John Barry's, February 27, 2000

What can I say, except that I absolutely adore this man's music and this particular recording consists of his most beautiful compositions and re-recorded specifically for this one recording. I have played this CD even more than my other John Barry recordings (which is quite a few). Anyone who adores and respects this brilliant composer as I do will love this CD! Mr. Barry even included 2 compositions never heard before, which are simply beautiful. I've been a fan of this man's for many, many years & I usually buy his soundtracks even if I've never even seen the film, as he's never disappointed me yet! To me, there is no other soundtrack composer like John Barry. For those not familiar with his work, this particular CD would be the one I'd recommend for your first purchase -- you'll be hooked and want to purchase every soundtrack the man has done. Thank you, John Barry!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'LL TAKE THE JOHN BARRY SAMPLE PLATE, PLEASE, September 5, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: John Barry Moviola (Film Score Re-recording Compilation) (Audio CD)

Some of John Barry's best movie themes on one album! But you'll find that these tracks are not simply copies of what appears on his soundtrack albums. The best example is the theme from The Midnight Cowboy. A timeless harmonica solo accompanied by classic orchestra characterized this legendary track on the soundtrack album. It is still one of my very favorite John Barry compositions ever. But compare that to what you get on Moviola. The Midnight Cowboy is rendered hauntingly and beautifully in full orchestra with the harmonica echoing the original movie soundtrack version. Absolutely splendid.

Tracks from Out of Africa, Dances With Wolves and Born Free, as well as other Barry favorites will make this album a must for any serious John Barry collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Master of the Delicate Soundtrack, February 23, 2002

This review is from: John Barry Moviola (Film Score Re-recording Compilation) (Audio CD)

While movie music greats John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, and legendary Bernard Herrmann sometimes "pulled out all the stops" in their respective compositions, Barry, known for his contributions to many of the Bond films, used subtlety to convey the on-screen actions of the movie that his music accompanied. This makes his music so emotional and reflective.

One of the highlights is the highly sensual theme from "Body Heat." This has to be one of the most erotic arrangements of black dots ever written on paper.

HOT!!!
