 A most complete collection July 28, 2008
For those of us that have collected soundtracks for many years and specially John Williams' music, it might seem a little redundant to buy this four disc compliation of his music that has every single track that I am sure every collector owns at least once.
However once you start listening to the pieces you start to notice the little differences in their performance from the original versions.
There are subtle changes in rythm and tempo and even different instruments play certain parts.
These nuances make this redition of Willams' music a most enjoyable one.
Best from the best... June 1, 2008
He's the best....the music of John Williams all in one awesome set...always amazed at the amount of work from this talent.
I love it March 5, 2008
If you love john williams like I do, well then you will love this product.
pleasantly surprised February 8, 2008
I received this as a gift. I was a little concerned when reading that it wasn't conducted by Maestro Williams, and played by the LSO. But, Bateman and Raine do a terrific job and bring a nice fresh perspective on these popular works. The City of Prague Philharmonic performs wonderfully and the sonic quality is terrific.
You'll find most of Williams's most well-known works for film represented here, but a number of his lesser known, but very excellent works are missing. This really should have been a five or six CD set.
But all in all, this is the best recording of John William's works that I've heard in a long time.
Excellent!! October 4, 2007
There isn't one sinlge track in this whole 4-disc compilation that isn't worth buying. Great purchase, totally recommend it.
