5.0 out of 5 stars A Towering Prelude to the Blockbuster Hits, June 2, 1999
By 
Staysun "staysun" (Downers Grove, IL USA) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
This review is from: Earthquake: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
This is the mid-piece to a 70's Williams Disaster Film Trilogy that began with "The Poseidon Adventure" and concluded with "The Towering Inferno." The opening theme is reminiscent of the feverish opening to Alfred Newman's "Airport." There is a great set piece in "The City Sleeps." Most of this re-recorded score appears in the film very briefly (if at all). This is perhaps a supreme example of Williams' gift for creating a great compelling drama in music for a lesser film.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Jazz of John Williams and the most Beautiful, January 20, 2001
By 
BRUCE C ZELLER (OLYMPIA, WA. United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Earthquake: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
I didn't know what to think when I saw the movie and listened to the score, but afterward, I borrowed the movie from a friend and then I had this CD put on order and I didn't want to stop listening to it. Then during Christmas time I got the movie. This is the best early recording that I have of John Williams! He now tops the list of my favorite composers putting Bernard Herrmann the second on the list.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Early John Williams - superior score for a so-so film", April 22, 2000
This review is from: Earthquake: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)
From a disaster film comes this wonderful score by John Williams, who briefly played piano for the great Henry Mancini on various albums in the '60s. This of course was before Mr. Williams found his own niche in the world of music. The score for this film is far superor than the film itself, Williams themes are solid and thoroughly enjoyable.

A few stand outs - "CITY THEME" (track three) solo piano to start with, followed by the full and haunting orchestration, simply beautiful - "THE CITY SLEEPS" (track six) a light and different theme rises from the baton of Maestro Williams, nice touch. This early John Williams is a must for any film score collector or Williams fan.

Total Time: 32:50 on 13 Tracks/ Varese Sarabande - VSD 5262 (1990)
