This review is from: Highway to Hollywood (Audio CD)

Producer Robert Townson gives this dynamic and one-of-a-kind compilation...featuring some
of today's great and near great composers ~ Elmer Bernstein, Carter Burwell, Georges
Delerue, Randy Edelman, George Fenton James Horner, James Newton Howard, Maurice
Jarre, Henry Mancini, David Mansfield, Thomas Newman, Arthur B. Rubinstein, Alan
Silvestri and Hans Zimmer...each a master of creating their work of scoring, as they set the
mood in every cue.

Standouts in this collection include ~ "GUILTY BY SUSPICION" (Howard), a mood of film
noir from the '40s and '50s, jazz trumpet solo is haunting..."SWITCH" (Mancini), no
compilation would be complete without a contribution from "Our Man In Hollywood", his
arrangement is priceless with signature orchestration..."ENEMIES, A LOVE STORY", this
famous composer Maurice Jarre is still cranking them out, his depth in film scoring is limit-less.

All in all, Varese Sarabande have given us what we want...a "film-score-buffs" dream
inclusive, your favorite music from some of the great and near great films that keep the
memories flowing!

Total Time: 63:11 on 16 Tracks ~ Varese Sarabande VSD-5341 ~ (1991)
