5.0 out of 5 stars Devoted to Horner, January 10, 2008

My opinion of James Horner is always going to be biased in his favor. Braveheart was his masterpiece. Titanic was a phenomenon. A Beautiful Mind, riveting. Apollo 13, majestic. The New World, uplifting.
This, amazing. I bought it when I heard a sample of "Legends of the Fall" on iTunes and was spellbound. Needless to say, I wasn't surprised to see Horner's name on it. He has a classic style for epic music, sweeping orchestra, a lot of themes with Frenchy French horns. It's not like Zimmer's Pirates or Elfman's "dark theater" themes. These are all bold and majestic and romantic and epic. If you love powerful music, you will love Horner. Buy his song.

Silva America brings to the table another music maker with "Film Music Masterworks by James Horner", all the splendor of this composer on 10 Tracks...Horner creates visual moods for each film he scores...action, adventure, mystery, romance, sentimental and suspense...the list could go on...Every track moves you --- Each cue comes back with a memory as the preceeding track ends --- It flows naturally and perfectly from track to track... If you're looking for a piece of music to capture your heart and a deeper meaning of the film...you've found it...Silva Screen's release traces several decades of film music...featuring "The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra" --- conducted by Mr. Paul Bateman, Mr. James Fitzpatrick and Mr. Nic Raine (as always outstanding)...performing 10 selections, close to a full hour of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!

10 Selections from the James Horner Film Score Book (in alphabetical order in which they appear)

1. APOLLO 13 (1995) (Universal Pictures film) (3:04)
2. BRAVEHEART (1995) (20th Century Fox film) (7:06)
3. COCOON (1985) (20th Century Fox film) (7:24)

9. WEDDING, THE (1998) (DreamWorks film "Deep Impact") (4:20)
10.WILLOW THEME (1988) (Lucasfilm film "Willow") (3:53)

Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Rick Clark (mastered tracks), Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick and Nic Raine performing the conducting duties, a tremen!dous asset to every project they undertake...and the label which made it all possible...Silva America --- must say this collection is nicely priced.

Total Time: 56 mins on 10 Tracks ~ SILCD 2004 ~ (8/08/2006)

This cd is a very good sample of some of the works of James Horner. The orchestrations are good and I am thinking of buying some of the other artists in the same series. Good and cheap find if you are looking for a nice sample of Horner's work.
