2.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, April 23, 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: John Williams Plays the Movies (Audio CD)
While this album is pleasant enough, it is more orchestra music than classical guitar. John Williams is a great classical guitarist, but the guitar part on this album could have been played by any competent guitarist. If you want nice background music, this album is ok. If you want classical guitar music, look elsewhere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Williams' Winning Style Captures Film Scores, August 24, 2000
By 
Daniel G. Berk (West Bloomfield, Michigan) - See all my reviews
This review is from: John Williams Plays the Movies (Audio CD)
If you like film music, this CD is for you; if you like guitar music, this CD is for you. John Williams brings his guitar virtuosity to bear masterfully on the scores of a number of popular films, which span a period of 60 years.

The use of the guitar gives a different sound to number of the selections, and shows that a good piece of music will shine, no matter what the instrumentation.

5.0 out of 5 stars Most excellent, August 4, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: John Williams Plays the Movies (Audio CD)
How can anyone compare Bryan Adams' work to the elite performances of John Williams.... This man is quite a genius and second to none.... I, as a classical guitar player have found that this presentation has assisted me greatly... Let's see some more John.. Thanks a lot
