5.0 out of 5 stars Nice compilation for the person new to soundtracks, and even the more experienced listener, March 8, 2009

I have about a hundred soundtracks from many of the acknowledged masters of the film track genre, but there were some nice surprises in this mix, including some of the older themes I had forgotten about. I was very happy with my purchase.
