Wonderful Collection of Movie Themes
He is no doubt the best composer hollyhood has ever seen and possibly the best of any composer working today. This John Williams collection brings back memories of your favorite movies. His music amplifies all the action taking place on the screen. This is a must have for the motion picture devotee.


All the hits on one CD.
It is a wonderful compilation. This CD has all the hits (well almost all of 'em) that you associate with John Williams. And most are performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.


The Best!
So, when I couldn't get my son to burn a CD of it, I turned to Amazon. I have loved John Williams' music for years. com, and received just what I wanted!! I play it in the car every chance I get.

Thank you!.


Utterly Beautiful
Seriously, this set shows off the amazing scope and depth that John Williams has, while it doesn't have every last one of his amazing compositions, it still shows what a fine composer Mr. It took me being an idiot, and selling this CD some years ago, and then reclaiming it again just tonight in order to realize what a beautiful collection of music this really is. Williams really is.

I will start off by stating that I started yearning for the set again after I saw a preview of E. T. being broadcast on TV and heard the sweeping "Flying Theme" playing in the background. The next thing you know, I'm off looking for this set, and bam! It's right in front of me, and I just decide to buy it. I then get home, and allow myself to relax and be blown away as the Star Wars theme begins to play.

From there, it's a journey through time, and memories as I recognize more than half the compositions on this 2-disc set. Stuff from Star Wars, E. T. , Hook, Jaws, Indiana Jones, among many others permeate this beautiful experience. I still listened to the themes from the movies and whatnot that I did not recognize, and I still liked a good majority of what I listened to, the JFK theme in particular was powerful.

This is just a solid set of beautiful, orchestrated, and memorable music that is a journey through time, memories, and great movies. Honestly, what more could one ask for? For the price, this set does justice to the legacy of the man who is, in my books, one of the greatest modern classical composers of all time. .


John Williams' complete work
John Williams is an absolute genius and you can literally see the movies run before your eyes while listening to the soundtracks. This double disk album represents the greatest music of modern cinema. All of his greatest work up to 1999 is on this album, with popular themes like Star Wars or Jurassic Park and less known pieces like Summon the Heroes. For lovers of movie themes, this is the best and most complete album I've listened to. It is also played by amazing orchestras like London Symphony and Boston Pops, which are always a delight to hear. I am waiting impatiently for a new album with more recent themes like Geisha, and Harry Potter!.
