3.0 out of 5 stars Re-recordings, not Soundtracks, January 17, 2004

This review is from: Great Composers: John Williams (Film Score Anthology) (Audio CD)

Most, if not all, selections on this album are new re-recordings of the soundtrack scores made by various orchestras, but are not original soundtrack recordings taked from the actual motion pictures described. Amazon simply is incorrect in showing this album as [SOUNDTRACK].

This review is from: Great Composers: John Williams (Film Score Anthology) (Audio CD)

Williams is the icon of film scores today. You typically think of his workk as the mood behind every Spielberg or Harry Potter movie, but his career is more diverse and seasoned than that. He has been in the business for a long time, composing themes for Hitchcock, John Ford, and other Hollywood productions. Besides the obvious Star Wars, Empire theme, Superman, and Jurassic Park, other themes are just as memorable, such as Sabrina, Stanley & Iris, and The Cowboys. All of the songs stay with you and have a structure that is rich in detail and melody.

This review is from: Great Composers: John Williams (Film Score Anthology) (Audio CD)

John Williams is one of the greatest composers of the 20-21 centuries. His music will live on for a long-long time. This disc provides the listener with a fantastic listening experience: Star Wars, Schindler's List, Superman (The Movie - my favorite on the disc), Jurassic Park are all here. There are some other lessor known gems on the disc: Sabrina, Stanley and Iris, Presumed Innocent and others. A very nice package! All of the scores are superb and well presented here. I enjoyed this cd very much and will revisit it again and again.
