Product Description

Munich by John Williams

Amazon.com

This soundtrack caps a busy year for John Williams: In addition to Munich, he also scored Star Wars: Episode Three: Revenge of the Sith, War of the Worlds, and Memoirs of a Geisha. When it comes to Hollywood's A-list big-budget needs, Williams, with 46 Oscar nominations by the end of 2005, remains the go-to composer. But does he deserve his reputation? Well, it depends on what you want from a score: If you expect it to surprise you at every turn, you should look elsewhere; but if you want music to faithfully match the mood of the images it accompanies, and as lavish as said images usually are, Williams is worth every penny he gets, as Munich amply proves. While Steven Spielberg's drama-thriller starts off in 1972, Williams eschews period touches and delivers a mix of powerful, string-heavy atmospherics--"Hatikvah (The Hope)," "A Prayer for Peace," "Thoughts of Home"--while ethnic elements (which could easily have been overdone in a film dealing with Palestinians and Israelis) are, cleverly, almost subliminal. Fans of otherworldly female vocals should note that sought-after session singer Lisbeth Scott (The Chronicles of Narnia) appears on tracks such as "Munich, 1972" and "Remembering Munich." --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Score #4 for 2005 by John Williams.

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2006

Verified Purchase

"Munich" is not a "common" John Williams score with sweeping melodies. It isn't instantly memorable like his other work, but is every bit as effective as anything he's ever written. It's a wonderful score, lending great power to the images that Steven Spielberg uses to tell his story. I'm continually amazed by Mr. Williams's ability to adapt his style to each project. Another notable fact is that "Munich" is his fourth score during 2005, following "Revenge of the Sith," "War of the Worlds" and "Memoirs of a Geisha." No tracks really stand out (the work as a whole is very consitent), and this may not be a CD to listen to over and over again. But its effectiveness and power make it a wonderful part of any John Williams collection.

Gets better and better with each play. One of my favorites. John Williams can do no wrong in my mind. I hope a complete score of this is released at some point.

Williams surprises again

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2006

Verified Purchase

After nearly a decade or more of writing scores that, although incredibley well crafted, were pretty much same-old-same-old, Williams is experiencing a fresh creative take in his film scoring. Munich is another score that departs from his more conservative post romantic style. Although some of the cues are not as fun or as easy to listen as those from his golden age styled scores, they are excellent accompaniments to the film working sublty below the images. Many long time William's fans may not like this less thematic and overtly orchestrated approach, but this style works best for the type of film being scored. There is a maturity here that perfectly compliments the maturity of Spielberg's film making.

John Williams'superb score for "Munich" pulls off something rare-it's

better than the movie.This is the maestro at his full-throttle best.

The score is intense,powerful,thrilling,and magnificently performed

by the LA Recording Arts Orchestra under the master's superb baton.

This is his best work since "Saving Private Ryan"

John Williams Strikes Again

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2006

If you're a film composer of the old school who learned his craft being around people like Franz Waxman or Bernard Herrmann, you should be obsolete in today's world. But not if you're John Williams.

For what seems to be the millionth time in his illustrious career, Williams has given us one of his best film scores here, for director Steven Spielberg's complex vengeance film MUNICH, about the aftermath of the 1972 Summer Olympics massacre of Israeli athletes at Munich by PLO terrorists. By necessity, the score for MUNICH is far less bombastic that those Williams supplied for the STAR WARS films or for Spielberg's 2005 summer smash WAR OF THE WORLDS, but all of his scoring instincts are still there, just serving a different purpose. Weaving suspense and funereal elements throughout, aided by vocalist Elisabeth Scott on two of the score's cue tracks, Williams creates a moving tapestry that dovetails perfectly with Spielberg's emotional and intelligent look at the Munich tragedy and the price of vengeance being paid by not only this film's Israeli hit squad but also by innocent victims on both sides of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. There are moments of subtlety in the score that those who know Williams only for big, brash, and explosive scores will almost certainly find revelatory. For those who know the man's extensive score dossier from beginning to end, it really re-asserts Williams' pre-eminent position as Hollywood's greatest living composer of motion picture music. A stunning piece of work, by any stretch of the imagination.

Some highlights to this John Williams score but not one of his finest

Reviewed in the United States on June 12, 2015

While I do believe there are some extraordinary highlights to this album ("A Prayer for Peace" is just breath-taking) there's just a little too much dark, brooding material that probably works fine for the film and doesn't really work for isolated listening. I have a hard time focusing on the strange female "heeee-aaaahhhh-eeee" singing in several of the tracks, mainly the title "Munich 1972" track. Additionally, "Bearing the Burden" is just 8+ minutes of creepiness that doesn't work for me. Listen to this and appreciate what there is good about it, but it might involve a little song skipping.
