 Rating: - Good Movie Music without the AdsThe 40 tracks on this 3 CD box set cover many of the most popular and memorable pieces of music written for (or used in) films. There is a good selection here, ranging from the emotional `Hymn to the Fallen' (Saving Private Ryan) to the dramatic `Pirates of the Caribbean'. A slight word of warning, the collection is a mixture of original recordings (the music that was actually used in the film) and re-recordings by various orchestras.

For action lovers there is Pirates of the Caribbean (a great introduction to the Media Ventures score - try out The Rock and Crimson Tide if you like this), Gladiator and Raiders of the Lost Ark. For those who want a more contemplative experience check out Schindler's List, Shakespeare in Love (Stephen Warbeck is an underappreciated but wonderful composer) and Dances with Wolves. This is the perfect introduction to film music, ... Read More: |
