5.0 out of 5 stars "Gold Collection 45 Years ... James Bond 007 ... Silva Screen (2008)", November 29, 2008

By	J. Lovins "Mr. Jim" (Missouri-USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Silva Screen Records presents "JAMES BOND: THE GOLD COLLECTION 45 YEARS" --- Who isn't a JAMES BOND fan, or at least enjoys the film score --- What makes a Bond film so entertaining, besides the incredible stunts and gadgets, is the MUSIC! --- And who better than any other composer to write the music, none other than John Barry and of course the first composer Monty Norman --- Barry took the Bond themes to greater heights than any composer to date --- On the current films, Mr. Barry's music has inspired today's composers to much, that it's difficult not to think of Barry when you hear or watch a Bond film --- The City of Prague Philharmonic always performs Barry's music better than any other composer or orchestra, perhaps the reason could be Nic Raine at the helm --- Guitarist Vic Flick (great name) is on hand to repeat his work in "THE JAMES BOND THEME", from "DR. NO", Vic with an excellent, up to date and well paced recording. "FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE" is John Barry's first full effort in giving us that suave and action sequence style we've come to expect and appreciate.

This compilation flows flawlessly from track to track, from one suite to another, with the ease of Bond himself. I enjoyed this album immensely, especially the action sequences with the bigger sound of the orchestra, creating and adding excitement to the moment --- Certainly a must have for any film score collector or "JAMES BOND" enthusiast!
