Very disappointing, considering what it could have been.......2007-04-20

Take a look at the running times:

Disc 1: 60 minutes
Disc 2: 50 minutes
Disc 3: 61 minutes
Disc 4: 58 minutes

What gives Silva? There is *MUCH* more John Williams in the silva screen back catalogue by the Prague Philharmonic than what is in this set, and thats not including their entire discs devoted to Star Wars Films, Indiana Jones Trilogy etc. Why isn't Hook "When You're Alone" included on Disc 2? There's room. Why isn't 1941 on Disc 1? There's room. Why isn't Earthquake on Disc 3? There's room. Why isn't Far and Away on disc 4? There's room. Where's the other ten minutes of the Rare Breed suite on disc 3? Why isn't Midway on disc 1? Where are the Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel and Lots In Space tv themes? Etc. Etc. Etc.

C'mon Silva, most of these 4 disc mega boxes released in the past few years are packed to the brim, but not this one, and with new recordings made after this was released (the terminal, munich, geisha, war of the worlds, star wars ep 3, harry potter 3), it only makes sense for a "re-do" in the next couple of years.

Further, with Silva releasing the 100 Greatest Film Themes on six discs in a couple of months, it's only a matter of time before we see the ultimate six disc john williams set.

This isn't a BAD set to own, but it could have been much better and when compared to the Jerry Goldsmith and John Barry sets in this same series, this one is a major letdown.

Always a pleaser.......2007-03-31

I listen to music all day with patients in my dental chair. This one is a winner with everyone. Patients always comment on how they recognize a song. Who doesn't love John Williams? His music transcends time.

JOHN WILLIAMS 40 Years of Film Music.......2007-01-10

This 4 cd pack is an anthology of all John Williams works. From his earlier works "The Poseidon Adventure" and "Jaws" right through "Indiana Jones" and the most recent"Star Wars" prequel movies are included. Williams work in thriller and horror are also included. If you are into soundtracks and love movie music this is an essential buy. The quality of the music is excellent. With ten or more tracks on each cd it's well worth the money.

Movie Music Magic & Memorabilia.......2006-12-13

This four CD set expands on the previously released John Williams Greatest Hits. It's a grand collection of nearly four hours of famous music scores from over forty years. There are many songs never before available in any collection. The short liner notes tell a great tale of musical movie history and include all of his numerous award nominations and wins. Each song (oddly enough) mentions the actors and the director, so fond are John Williams's memories of his work with these people. All of the conductors are mentioned along with specific orchestras, choirs, arrangement and orchestration specialists and even the publishers (contractual, I am sure). The only things missing are his early television scores, such as those for "Lost In Space" (by Johnny Williams back then). But with four discs, one has nothing to complain about and everything to enjoy!

John Williams: 40 Years of Outstanding Film Music.......2006-11-28

I have been a huge fan of John Williams and I have known about his music for years. However, I never actually bought any of his music on CD. I was rather skeptical about purchasing this CD but when it arrived I knew I had made the right choice. The sound quality of the compilation is outstanding. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do a great job under the direction of Paul Bateman. The original London Symphony Orchestra CDs of John Williams' Star Wars Trilogy CDs are marginally better but this is still a great CD compilation. If you love ET, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter, you will love this compilation soundtrack. Buy it, listen to these CDs in the car and enjoy every minute of the collection!!!

Family Secrets.......2004-06-27

Upbeat and fun. It is the kind of music that can be played on a long drive, at a party, or at home while relaxing.

Although no CD can fully capture the depth of the music live, this CD comes very close.

A must have for a good music collection.

Perfect Pop.......2002-05-12

Pefect pop in an imperfect world. So much talent in one family - imagine that. Rock on, boys.

Abundance of Talent Is No Secret In This Family.......2001-12-20

The second album from Los Angeles-based band The Andersons comes jam-packed with enough catchy pop hooks and memorable lyrics to have you singing along with the brothers after one listening. The band deftly avoids the sophomore slump here; although the themes of love and loss may be overly familiar ones in power pop, The Andersons' songs go beyond the usual clichés, even managing to reference Tolstoy without sounding the least bit pretentious ("Snub"), or turning what in lesser hands would have been a sappy sentiment into genuine emotion (the Robbie Rist/Jensen Bell-penned "Apology"). Adding to the many joys the album has are the excellent vocals. It's probably unfair enough to other pop acts that Derrick Anderson has such a smooth and at times, insinuating, vocal lilt, but his brothers, Bill and Bob, provide strong vocals as well. Luckily for them, Derrick is secure enough in his and their talent to let them take lead on a few songs. Wed the smart lyrics and exceptional vocals to solid musicianship (including brother Marcos' steady drumming) and you get an album more than worth your time and money. The band falters slightly on a couple of ballads, but the hidden bonus track, "A Million Dollars for Christmas," ends everything on an upbeat, fun note. Highly recommended for power pop fans and others who value superior, quality music in these vapid, Britney-ized pop times.

Better than I had even hoped!.......2001-11-28

I was worried that when The Andersons signed a record deal that they would go all soft on us, and that the CD wouldn't really capture the "live" vibe that makes me see this band over and over again. I shouldn't have worried. This album has so many good tracks, that it's hard to pick one as my favorite. "Everbody Knows That You're the One" is definitely a standout, and $1,000,000 for X-Mas" is sure to be a MAJOR holiday hit. Great job by a great band.

The Andersons Family Secrets.......2001-11-20

Love this album! I wish the Andersons would record another. Can't get enough of The Andersons!

Customer Reviews:

"Family Secrets," a "moving, melodic listening experience".......2002-03-16

The music and lyrics on Tamela Duncan's CD, Family Secrets, are melodiously moving with words that, if you listen well, reach down into your very soul. The deeply moving expressive variations and lyrics within the music paint a vivid picture of a wonderful and empathic person, a talented artist, who overcame the profound impact of childhood abuse by weaving a story through likeable and harmonious sounds and words. The music can be enjoyed just for its sounds or can be used as a vehicle for others to better comprehend the lifelong impact of abuse. As a college professor I have used it in classes and received only positive feedback from students. As an individual I listen to it both for enjoyment and its soothing qualities. Family Secrets has touched my soul and warmed my heart. It is an outstanding achievement for which the artist should be very proud.
