Biography

If you've seen any American movies over the last forty years, chances are you've heard a John Williams score. A quick name check of films you're sure to recognize includes Jaws, Star Wars, Superman, ET, Schindler's List and Harry Potter, but his output has been prolific, to say the least. During his six decade career he has become one of Hollywood's most celebrated soundtrack composers. He has… Read more in Amazon's John Williams (Composer) Store

5.0 out of 5 stars A must-have album for all John Williams fans!, November 13, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: John Williams - Greatest Hits 1969 - 1999 (Audio CD)
I was ecstatic when I found this CD, which contains a wonderful collection of Williams' best---from classic favorites like "Star Wars" and "Jurassic Park", to sure-to-be classics like "Duel of the Fates" and "Hymn to the Fallen". I was also pleased to hear some of his other non-cinematic masterworks like the Olympics themes. Overall, it is a fantastic compilation of a variety of music, which pays tribute to Williams' considerable range as a composer.

3.0 out of 5 stars unexpected, August 19, 2003
By 
Matt (Minneapolis, MN USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: John Williams - Greatest Hits 1969 - 1999 (Audio CD)
Excellent sound quality, great composer, BUT...
***On what other "greatest hits" cd do the artists re-record the material? The music is faster,
has less emotional impact, and actually has emphasis on different notes and phrases.
This has the same impact of a child whistling the tunes, just running through it.
The really bad thing about all of this is that the tunes you bought this for
sound the worst, because you're expecting something totally different.

********************
Sometimes sounds counterfeit. Still, this has excerpts from some great music scores and can still be enjoyed. Sounds better the second time around.

5.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding!, December 11, 1999
This review is from: John Williams - Greatest Hits 1969 - 1999 (Audio CD)
I've been looking for these songs on the same CD for quite a while, and this set does not disappoint. This 2 CD set contains an outstanding compilation of some of the best soundtrack music, new and old, ever composed by John Williams. You will recognize most of the tracks from blockbuster movies --Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Superman. The Olympic theme songs are also included. This is one to pop in the CD player at home or in the car and turn it up. This set has a high replay value, too. It will never sound stale.
