Editorial Reviews

Consistenly linked to the biggest box office blockbusters John Williams is the most popular & successful movie composer of our time. Aptly titled Greatest Hits 1969-1999 is a celebration of John's career. Music from Star Wars, E.T., Superman, Indiana Jones & Temple of Doom, Jaws, Sugarland Express, Olympic Fanfare, Return of the Jedi, the Reivers, the Empire Strikes Back, Indiana Jones & the Last Crusade, Empire of the Sun, Raiders of the Lost Ark and Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2007

In the past when I went to movies, I rarely thought about the music unless it was a popular song that was being played. I never realized how much the score had to do with the overall effect I felt while watching the show.

Once I started paying attention to the music and identifying different pieces that I enjoyed from different movies, I was suprized to realize that John Williams had composed many, many of them.

This CD contains possibably the greatest most timeless music I have heard. Sure, you, like my classical music loving boss, have probably already written off my opinion as foolish or ignorant. Honestly, I don't care.

I like Mozart, Bach and the rest, and they have their place, but their music doesn't move through me like Williams. While this collection is far from a box set of his work, all the most popular pieces are there: Raders March (Indiana Jones), Star Wars, Superman, Empire March (Darth Vader). None of the operas or preludes the other guys made up generate the experience I get from listening to the opening stanza of Superman.

While it is very hard to sing along to these pieces, if you have an office as I do, it makes great background music. Everyone who comes in is pleasently caught off guard and I enjoy watching them trying to place the various songs that are playing.

Even if you disagree that Williams is better than Wagner or Debussy, if you enjoy his music, you will love this CD. "These are the droids you are looking for."

This CD has some of the greatest tracks to classic movies over the past 45-years. This makes sense considering John Williams compose and conducted them with some of the world's leading orchestras. The tracks of this album plays & sounds as good as if the were on the original soundtracks. That's because, "all the sessions were conducted by the composer himself. The Boston Pops, Tanglewood, and Boston, Pittsburgh, London, and even the Skywalker Symphony Orchestras all lent their talents to this album." The sound proves it,: you feel and remember movie scenes as the orchestras play each track, Among my favorites are Indiana Jones theme, Superman, and Duel Of The Fates. "Such intergalactic talent makes for a thrilling ride through film music history." However, the ones that strike you emotionally are; Saving Private Ryan: Hymn To The Fallen and Schindler's List: Theme. 1941 is also funny,though ironically, the movie wasn't, Still, John Williams helps put the wonder into the music of Sci-fi and adventure movies.
On a side note, I think Williams also composed the theme to the 60's TV show: Lost in Space. Pity they couldn't add that to the CD, but with 28 tracks, this is a excellent buy!

You need to know your movies if you listen to this CD

Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2020

I am familiar with most of John Williams movie scores, but a few theme songs threw me for a loop. The sound quality is not the best...some songs I can barely hear, so I turn up the volume, then WHAM - the next song is SO loud. I know whoever recorded the scores on the CDs could've done a better job. Overall, I have no buyer's remorse - to be honest, I bought the CDs for the theme from the 1978 Superman movie, and it does not disappoint!

I own some of the scores JW has written but not wanting to buy every single one, you might want this collection. His 70s/80s stuff is the best. Somehow his later stuff doesn't quite measure up. The art of a great soundtrack may be dying but here it is at it's glorious height.

Magnificent renditions of these soundtracks..

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2019

Verified Purchase

John Williams is perfect. His music is always spellbinding and every soundtrack is different and really suits the film. I have all of his music ....even those from' way back' when. (He did the theme music to Checkmate, a show from the early l960's.) Even then, he was at the top of his game. One of my all time favorite pieces from this CD is Flight to Neverland from Hook. I truly think a skater could win the Olympics skating to this music.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 30, 2015

Verified Purchase

I've heard all sorts of versions of John Williams's film scores, but this one puts the rest in the shade. The fact that JW was conducting his own music not too long after the films appeared gives the recordings a marvellous freshness. The orchestrations are super, the sound vivid, and his tempi seem - as they should - exactly right. He also brings out subtle details, particularly with the percussion, which add to the enjoyment. There's a zest and excitement in this music. Don't be put off by the title which sounds like just another tired compilation. It's anything but that.
