These scores, and the Movies have always been great favorites of mine. In Where Eagles Dare you have a Movie which moves along at a tremendous pace, and, just when you think you can pause for breath, it starts all over again. The score, very well played, is just terrific. The opening scenes are electrifying, from the pppp of a snare drum to the crescendo leading to the movie titles is amazing. There are several versions of the score, but none as complete, or well played as this. The original LP of the score, is much shorter and sounds very different. It probably should as I believe the LP is a studio performance, whereas this 2 CD set is taken from the sound track, and very well taken too.
Operation Crossbow is not quite as memorable, but nevertheless is compelling in its own right. Again well played and recorded. I have had these CD's for about 2 years now, and am most pleased with my purchase. Both movies are available on DVD, and both were eagerly awaited. If you know the music, then these CD's are well worth owning. Ron Goodwin was a great movie score composer, listen also to 633 Squadron.

Great music from two of my all-time favorite war movies. A little on the expensive side, but in my opinion,worth it. Most enjoyable.
