1 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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!

5 out of 5 stars 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!!!

Sitting in the balcony at the final preview of this 1964 Jerry Herman show, still very much in school and long before my career as a critic began, I knew somehow that I was witnessing theatrical history. Even as that callow youth, I was certain that Carol Channing had been born to play the role of Dolly Gallagher Levi, the meddling turn-of-the century New York widow who had been adapted from Thornton Wilder's straight play The Matchmaker. Channing has proved me right by playing the role ever since, of course, miraculously only improving with age. Beyond Dolly herself, however, the musical emitted a synergistic exuberance (at least five years before we used the word "synergy"). The supporting cast, including David Burns, Eileen Brennan, and Charles Nelson Reilly, were terrific. Herman's tunes and lyrics were sublimely crafted both to create their characters and stand alone. (The title song took on a life of its own.) The show's designers, librettist Michael Stewart and director Gower Champion, combined to transport the audience to 60 years earlier in little old New York. This wasn't all just my opinion: Hello, Dolly! won a record 10 Tonys. The original cast recording can still take you to that other time and place, even if you didn't see the original show. But, at the risk of offending my inner adolescent, the 1994 revival, naturally starring Channing, was even better--both on stage and on disc. --Robert Windeler

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful Soundtrack.......2007-06-27

This is the original recording, with all of the best names included. Wonderful, wonderful music.

5 out of 5 stars DOLLY WILL NEVER GO AWAY.......2007-05-17

Great re-mastering of original BWay cast album with wonderful other Dollys, particularly Pearl Baily who makesHello, Dolly! (1964 Original Broadway Cast) (Deluxe Edition) the title tune her own. It is still a great score and a delight to own.

4 out of 5 stars The excitement is there, but............2007-01-24

Hello Dolly is one of my favorite shows. When you listen to the cast album, you really do--as others have said--feel the excitement of being there on opening night when Broadway history was being made. The wonderful RCA cast album has been a best seller for 43 years. But while I do feel it is necessary for any musical fan to have this cast recording in their collection, this is not personally my "Dolly" album of choice. I have three of the 5 major DOLLY recordings in my collection; this Original Cast, the Barbra Streisand movie soundtrack, and the Mary Martin London cast on LP (the others I do not have are the Pearl Bailey cast album and the Carol Channing revival). My preferred recording is a tie between the movie soundtrack and the Mary Martin album, with this one trailing (not far) behind. As far as the supporting cast are concerned, the original cast wins hand down. But HELLO DOLLY is really about the star, and in my opinion, Carol Channing can't sing...err, croak...her way out of a cardboard box. I realize that that is Channing's trademark, but it just doesn't work for me. As I said, this album is required equipment in any serious musical lover's collection, but I think that I too will "stick with Streisand." And for God's sake, I wish RCA would get off their rump and get the Mary Martin cast album out on CD, and reissue the Pearl Bailey cast album too while they're at it!

2 out of 5 stars Goodbye, Dolly!.......2005-10-30

This Deluxe Edition of the orginal "Hello, Dolly!" has three distinct problems.

For starters, this is not the classic musical that afficianados would have you believe, nor is it Jerry Herman at his best (that honor goes to "Mame"). Rather, this is a fair to middling score with three socko numbers (title tune not included), three rather fine songs (title song included) and the rest either average or inadequate. "Put On Your Sunday Clothes" and "Before the Parade Passes By" are two of the most galvanizing songs ever written for the Broadway stage and no singer can detract from their euphoric energy (though Carol Channing tries -- more on that later). "So Long, Dearie", though slower in tempo than Barbra Streisand's definitve rendition, is a showstopping character song that's both clever and compelling. These three numbers are what gives "Dolly" it's class and they are three of the best things Herman ever wrote. Then we have "Dancing", "Elegance" and (gulp!) the by now overly familiar title song, each an accomplished tune that propels the plot with, well, elegance. The song "Hello, Dolly!" may now annoy as a Broadway warhorse, but it was as fresh as daffodils when it first premiered. The rest of the score, sadly, isn't up to these standards. "It Takes a Woman" and "It Only Takes a Moment" are indistinguished at best, and "Ribbons Down My Back" is downright annoying. Worse still, "I Put My Hand In" is a lackluster opener that pales in comparison to "Just Leave Everything to Me", its replacement in the movie and a bonifide Jerry Herman rouser. And "Motherhood" sounds like exactly what it was, a stage wait for the scenery to move in. Totally expendable.

The second problem here is that this may be the worst sung original cast recording in Broadway history. Charles Neslon Reilly's wobbly tenor struggles to maintain pitch, Eileen Brennan's stilted soprano sounds more like light operetta than musical comedy, and David Burns makes his movie counterpart, Walter Matthau, sound like Mario Lanza in comparision. Then there is Dolly, the incomprehensibly overrated Carol Channing. From her first froggy notes in "I Put My Hand In" you know it's going to be rough sledding and, sure enough, she croaks and screeches her way through one song after another, rendering most of what she sings unlistenable. Channing's voice is thin, harsh and completely unequalized throughout its range and she effectively saps all of the charm out of "...Sunday Clothes" and "Parade". By the time the recording has ended, you want to banish this CD to a deserted island. But wait, there's more! An almost unrecognizable Mary Martin starts the "extras" on this disc with a shock. Some of her last recordings, these "Dolly" numbers unfortunately display how Martin's once lovely instrument had deepened and thickened over the years. A full throttle but somewhat tremulous Ethel Merman fairs little better on some poorly recorded songs added to the show when she took over. These two giants actually make the songs Pearl Bailey does on this disc seem all the more astonishing. While arguably not as talented as Martin or Merman (although, in reconsidering this recording and her career, I think I'm entirely wrong in that observation), Bailey hits a home run on each of her renditions and her recording of the title song is absolutely definitive. Someone should quickly get the cast recording of her "Dolly" back in circulation. "She" and "we" deserve it.

The final problen here is a lengthy recent interview with Ms. Channing that has to be heard to be believed. Does she actually think we're buying the idea that she was doing high kicks in the studio while recording her songs? Please! She barely catches her breath between phrases. And her comparing her premonition that the show would be a hit to a passage in the bible is as laughable as it is sacriligious. Yes, she may have done the show over 5000 times, but she lucked into a classic without earning her own classic status. No wonder all she could do was repeat herself for the rest of her career. Stick with Streisand.

And I guess from the reviews of THIS review, disliking Channing is sacriligous. I better watch my back.

1 out of 5 stars Toxically Corny!!!!.......2005-01-22

A lot of my friends wonder why I violently detest Broadway Musicals so much. Well, this particular recording is at least one reason why. Exposed to this piece of Toxic Schlock at a very young age (about 4 I reckon), and ever since, for me it has epitomized EVERYTHING I detest about musicals, the thin corny plots, even cornier songs, people breaking out into song at the most ridiculous times and so much glitz that my system nearly went into toxic shock. The worst part of it all, CAROL CHANNING!!!! This woman CANNOT SING TO SAVE HER LIFE, PERIOD!!!

I've even asked people who DO like B'way what is the deal with her? I hear it's that she has charisma. OK, since when does charisma equal talent (I honestly believe they are NOT the same thing).

And I have even tried to listen to other musicals over the years, and I just CANNOT get the appeal of it on ANY level! I guess this is well-done as these things go (there is work involved), but I just CANNOT understand what the fuss is all about.

Signed,

One perplexed Owl.

4 out of 5 stars Two tracks I really like.......2007-07-21

The Mission Impossible theme is performed well.
The Fireball theme is actually much improved on this version. I prefer the orchestra and the vocals over the original.

2 out of 5 stars Quantity Over Quality.......2007-01-15

As a musician myself, I know too well that one of the most important ingredients in ANY performance (live or recorded) is passion. The recordings here generally lack the same passion and sheer drama of the originals. Much of the instrumentation has been reduced to a cheezy, thin, plastic synthesized replica. The performances are simply a watered-down lackluster version of the classic originals. If it were not for the sheer volume of tracks compiled here, I would have rated the comp only "one star".

3 out of 5 stars Mediocre.......2006-05-17

The sound quality for this collection isn't much better than the samples offered by Amazon.

4 out of 5 stars One Hundred Greatest TV Themes.......2005-08-06

I have watched almost all the shows that are on these 4 cd's. Many were made before I started watching TV. Most I've seen once or twice before.

4 out of 5 stars Pretty close to original recordings.......2005-07-24

Definitely not as good as the originals. You'll probably notice the slight differences since it's stuff you saw and listened to every week or everyday in reruns growing up, but it's still an amazing collection.

Amazon.com

HBO's pioneering series takes the dark carnival gambit of Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes, drops it in the bleak heartland of Dust Bowl-era America and jolts it with a compelling undercurrent of Biblical apocalypse. That's no easy dramatic flux to musically evoke, but veteran TV composer Jeff Beal graces the show with cues that seamlessly fuse Appalachian folk traditions with a brooding, goth-inspired ambient gloom. The anxious solo fiddle of the show's theme is a repeating motif, one the composer uses to variously evoke melancholy ("Dora Mae's Funeral"), bittersweet romance ("Rita Sue and Jonesy") or supernatural wonders ("Ben Heals the Girl"). Beal's use of mournful solo horn (as on "Mark of the Beast") often heralds the show's undercurrent of Biblical doom, while his hesitant, haunting piano passages seem to hang in the air for eternity. The evocative cues here stand in stark contrast to the oft-quirky jazz cool of the composer's Emmy-winning work on Monk, ample tribute to Beal's masterful abilities to channel his musical instincts into even the most diverse dramatic material. --Jerry McCulley

This was a great show, and the music is awesome. Haunting and wistful, it's great in the background when working or taking a bubble bath.

2 out of 5 stars best part isn't even by jeff beal.......2007-03-04

the tone for the shows music was created by wendy melvoin & lisa coleman...the theme they created is the best part of this cd. too bad more of the original music from the first season wasn't included in this compilation. also, just a correction to a previous post; the people who designed the main titles won the emmy, the jeff beal.

5 out of 5 stars "Carnivale" review.......2006-11-04

Without a doubt "Carnivale" is head and shoulders above any series I have seen. There is not a weak point in any of the catagories.
the acting was superb. The Sets were awsome. The music was incredible. The lightening was phenominal.. Great great Series.

4 out of 5 stars Fun!.......2007-02-08

From the start of the album, with the marching horns. To the last track this album is upbeat.
The lyrics are artsy and angsty and The Plot can be melodic and harsh. Sometimes they can be the extreme of both in the same song.
I gave it four stars because although it's a fun album and it's great to listen to.
It didn't knock me out of my socks.

4 out of 5 stars Trashy goodness.......2005-06-05

Plot obliterates any fears of a sophomore slump within seconds of the Gorilla Biscuit's trumpet intro, announcing the arrival of a riff that's the audio equivalent to a bar room brawl.

On Love in the Fascist Brothel, they've replaced the jazz and DC punk with sass and swagger. Even though every track sounds like they're getting in fist fights with their instruments, the production's a definite step up from Disseration's. Double layered vocals and a monstrous rhythm section mold the record's chaos into a sledgehammer, a powerful tool which will no doubt cause blunt force trauma in inexperienced hands.

Maybe not the greatest analogy, but that rawness and grit of this record are what a lot of reviews I've read focus on, and what turns a lot of listeners off, and it's important to emphasize Plot knows exactly the kind of effect they're creating, and that they've created a record that's both supremely raw and hi-fi.

They've lost some fans by tossing out the jazz-punk on their last record, but this really just shows how deep the well of creativity this group taps into is. Despite the drastic turn in sound, this record stands as a complete artistic statement; it pummels the senses and looks into the future, instead of relying on their limited but already impressive discography. They never really defined themselves as jazz punk anyways, it was more the work of lazy journalists, so judging them by that label is unfounded. There's still some great sax work on the record, the parts are just more defined and have less of a free jazz feel than on Dissertation.

This album isn't just worth listening to for the piss, sweat and sass bleeding from every second of its 24 minute run time, these boys have the song writing skills to back up their attitude. Every song is distinct with its own riffs, hooks and flow.

Overall, I don't know if this is a better record than Dissertation, but it's definitely better made. The riffs and lyrics are more refined, and the production is a few notches up.
I would have liked more of the record to be up-tempo like Dissertation, instead of the trashy stomp that runs through a lot of the tracks, but there's plenty of grit and energy to go around.

I'm going to have to disagree with the Blood Brothers, Hella and Liars comparisons. Even though they seem to have a shared fan base, Plot and Blood Brothers seem pretty far apart on the post-hardcore spectrum. They're both a little "gay" live, but Plot's vocals share none of the raspiness or poetic nightmares spun by the BB's dual lyricists, and the instrumental's don't have that much rhythmically or dynamically in common, except that they're loud and trashy.

Hella, I just don't get that one at all. And the Liars, MAYBE, if their sound was a lot more intense and rounded out. But still, such a comparison doesn't do Plot justice, whether or not you do or don't like the Liars.

I was hesitant about this record before I heard it, since I was disappointed by their EP, and saw the bad puns in the track listing, and was worried that the satirical Nazi imagery would be too thin of a metaphor to stretch over an entire record. But so far, it's my favorite of 2005. Plot's successfully shown they'll have plenty of longevity on the post-hardcore scene, by releasing consistently great records which break new ground for the group, and pay homage to 30 year old punk heroes without sounding like they're beating a dead horse.

4 out of 5 stars Hate the Plot.......2005-05-31

I recently saw these guys live with the Blood Brothers, and I was blown away. Previous to that I had very little knowledge of The Plot to Blow Up the Eiffel Tower, I knew they were opening for Blood Brothers so I took the time read about thier sound and performance, but took little stock in what I found.
Suffice to say, after thier live performance (apparently they are looking to start a sexual revolution of sorts) the Plot fast became one of my favorite bands. I bought Love in a Fascist Brothel after the show, and promptly inserted into my cd player that night.
As far as sound goes...it's a noisy album, I can't help but compare them to Blood Brothers. The songs are like rollercoasters, they go from one sound to the next and are over before you know what really hit you (the longest song is little over 3 minutes, while the shortest being alittle under 1 and a half). Admist the noise there's this sort of dancey element, it definately makes you want to move. The lead singer has a very 'punk' vioce, it's snotty and defiant and works very well within the album. Lyrically (and image wise) they remind me a little of Dead Kennedys (this could possibly just be because I'm a big DK fan) in that sort of ironic political way, but they are more abstract in thier lyrics.
One thing that I didn't like initially, but I've grown accustom to is that the singers vioce seems to be drowned out. I don't know if it was on purpose or just bad production.

4 out of 5 stars Poppy.......2005-03-28

But I like it. It's simple. If you enjoy Hella or Liars you will enjoy this. Nothing to hide behind and just rock!

1 out of 5 stars Great riffs; Terrible vocals.......2007-04-08

I was looking forward to cranking this cd in my car. The guitar playing is everything you would expect from Michael Schenker. However, the vocals are strained and ill-fitted for the the material. Oh, for Phil Mogg....

5 out of 5 stars Whoa!!!.......2006-03-04

5 out of 5 stars Schenker,.....Way to Go.......2005-10-19

I finally picked up this disc with much hesitation. I am a huge UFO/Schenker fan and being the cd completeist that I am, I was quite bothered by this release. I viewed it as being some substandard demos that were the result of an aborted project. Well to a degree that remains true, however the music is so good it really doesn't matter what the facts are. First of all, I feared substandard sound and production quality. I find the disc highly listenable and enjoyable. It doesn't sound demo quality. It really is crisp and clear. Jeff Martin's drum tracks are punchy and solid. Schenker's guitar tone is unmistakeable. It really has an album quality sound to it...Okay enough said there. The songs are simply great. They really do not sound punky, in as much as they sound like great bluesy rock and roll. I see it more Stonesy than anything. Maybe in some way this disc might serve as a glimpse into what the Rolling Stones would have sounded like with Scenker on guitar, had he joined them when offered. The material is very simple, but at the same time, really good. Here are two musicians in Michael Schenker and Pete Way who are both accomplished songwriters had have developed their craft over the past 30 years. These songs have a feel of being put together quickly and easily between the two of them. Sometimes that can be a bad thing, but not in this case. They are fresh and simple, yet catchy and enjoyable. Pete's vocals are not Phil Mogg in any way, but they aren't bad. I would compare them to a Keith Richards type style, which adds to the Stones comparision.
Overall this not in the same vein as MSG or UFO, but is proves to be an interesing glimpse into what these two great musicians and friends could hammer out together when getting together to jam and write a few songs. I would really recommend this disc to anyone who enjoys either UFO or just great, simple bluesy rock and roll music....Give it a try, you will enjoy it....

5 out of 5 stars Just Great Rock.......2005-06-10

This is just what all of us who grew up on 80's hard rock need to hear. It is so refreshing. Just plain, no-nonsense, in your face, kick butt rock. Michael is just magical. His melodic tone and heavy riffin' is all over this cd. Pete does not have a very good voice, but that does not matter, it really fits well with the music. Heck, does Lemmy have a good voice? Jeff Martin plays drums on this one and is really, really good, just check out the song "Kicked Out". One of Michaels' best solo's of all-time is on "Senorita". This is one of my favorite cd's of the last 10 years; I can't take it out of my player. Buy It!

3 out of 5 stars Side project just for fun?.......2004-05-05

Michael Schenker and Pete Way...together again?
What's The Plot, and what kind of album is it?
Does it sound like UFO?

The Plot seem to be a side project to Michael Schenker's solo career and Pete Way's commitment to UFO. Together with drummer Jeff Martin, the legendary rockers have temporary (?) formed a three piece band, going for a different musical approach to what we're used to.

I have mixed feeling regarding this album. The rock `n' roll rebel in me like the raw and energetic style which is a blend of pub rock, punk rock, and classic rock `n' roll in Eddie Cochrane manner. My more sophisticated side think it all sounds like a bunch of drunken amateurs. Pete Way is handling the singing but he is not a great singer - sounding a tiny bit like Lemmy (Motorhead) from time to time. Although the material is raw and unpolished there is usually a melodic touch to many of the songs, something that makes me wonder how it would sound with a proper singer - maybe Phil Mogg.

If you expect The Plot to sound like UFO, you might be disappointed big time, but the the fuel injection that this album actually is, will most likely grow on you. Maybe you'll hear a bit of Quireboys, a bit of Little Caesar, and most certainly a lot of attitude.

I got ETID's new c.d. Hot Damn! and honestly was a little disappointed. The vocals barley changed and felt like the whole c.d. was just 1 long song. But my friend insisted I get this album.

4 out of 5 stars Sometimes it's great to backtrack.......2004-12-15

By now, most of the metal community has either heard of EVERY TIME I DIE or has possibly seen them live during their endless touring schedule. At this point, they have become a respected band even though their style of music isn't standardized or even remotely common. As a result of their surge to borderline commercial success, Undecided Records decided (yea, that is odd isn't it?) to re-release their debut EP, "The Burial Plot Bidding War." This astounding little treat was originally recorded in November of 1999 at Watchman Studios in Lockport, NY. This is where it essentially began for these right-brain, satirical thinkers and right from the first bar of music, there is little to dispute how they became what they are now as a philosophically out-of-the-box group of hectic but aurally pleasing music inventors. Their trademark sound is certainly present in this EP with spiraling guitars and the spastic vocal experimentations but it's obvious that this was right around the point where their feet were getting wet. Keith (vocals) used a cardidid microphone for this blessed event which further proves how far he has come along over the years and it illustrates how they as a unit have finely tuned their skillful mastery of keeping their music unpredictable and especially fresh. As with most re-issues, the current fans will surely want this one but the unconverted will want to start with "Last Night in Town" before fully being able to appreciate the talent, wisdom and pioneering creativity EVERY TIME I DIE has displayed over the past couple of years.

5 out of 5 stars great lyrics.......2004-09-18

well i have been listening to metal / hardcore for sometime now but this is truly raw. While the music itself isnt bad i bought the album for the lyrics "Home is where you hangyourself" trully brings feelings to many people including me. If you enjoy hardcore music just buy this its well worth it at under 10 bucks! \m/

5 out of 5 stars Fucking sweet.......2004-07-25

I love this EP. It's so raw and just heavy as hell. ETID is awesome, because you can see major progression with each record. Listen to this, and then play Last Night In Town, and you'll see what I mean. Although not their best, it's great nonetheless. You should buy just because it's been out of print for so long.

If you have enjoyed recordings of plain chant (Gregorian chant) then you may want to explore the traditions of the Russian orthodox church. This CD is good value for money. The recordings date from 1965 but sound much more recent than that on this excellent transfer. Keep in mind that Naxos also have a couple of excellent recordings of Russian Orthodox music too with a choir that is much more focused than this one.

However if you really want to hear someone that has incredible impact I would suggest almost anything by Anatoli Grindenko and the Russian Patriachate Choir. Paul Hillier, arguably the most important choir director in the world today, listed their Liturgy of St John Chrsotostom in his 10 desert island CDs for Goldberg magazine and says he buys everything they record. The sound quality of the Opus 111 recordings is often spectacular and audiophile grade.

5 out of 5 stars Beautiful, peaceful, and holy!.......2003-06-19

This CD truly surprised me....not knowing what to expect from the Slavonic Liturgy, and a big fan of sacred chant, I found myself deeply and profoundly moved! Chants of the Slavonic Liturgy contain some of the most beautiful and serene religious chant I have ever heard!!! I highly recommend this cd without any doubt or reservation!

This is a very commanding and intriguing score. Composer Adolph Deutsch did a tremendous job scoring this one. Conductor William T. Stromberg and the Moscow Symphony Orchestra once again come through with an excellent recording intrinsically representing Adolph Deutsch's perspective.

4 out of 5 stars A Tribute to Adolph Deutsch..........2005-04-02

In the shadow of the big film score trio of the 1930s and 40s, Steiner, Korngold, and Waxman; there were other distinguished film composers such as Adolph Deutsch. Thanks to this now budget priced reissue on Naxos, we are given a varied program example of his film score output from 1941-44. John Morgan again as in most of these projects has reconstructed and quilted together suites to preserve talent that would go down in obscurity. Deutsch was a contract composer at Warner a good part of his career, where the five selections on this disc are drawn. Oddly Deusch had a popular music background, but was not given any musical assignments. He was however thrown a comedy or two, one which was the Jack Benny, Ann Sheridan farce "George
Washington Slept Here". Through whimsical dressed up folk themes, we see the mishaps of a couple struggling to get a supposed historical farmhouse up to par. Nice to have a comedy score for a change! We get two Bogart scores, ofcourse "Maltese
Falcon" and "High Sierra". In Maltese the music is subtle and mysterious using economy of instruments; yes, because the studio was on a budget. "High Sierra" also was budget restricted, but Deutsch still managed a melody Steinerish score depicting the great natural locations of California's Sierra Mountains. In the "Mask of Dimitrios" we get a tension filled mood score as Peter Lorre pursues a deadman walking. "Norhtern Pursuit" a WWII
espionage thriller gets a big orchestra illustrating icy Canada and patriotic themes as well as Nazi darkness. The bars of V victory from Beethoven's fifth end the film abruptly. Mosfilm Studios does another good job with the recording, full and spacious.

5 out of 5 stars HITCHCOCK BH AND AH.......2004-05-17

That's "Before Herrmann" and "After Herrmann", of course.

To film scores aficionados today, Hitchcock's name is inextricably linked to that of the great Bernard Herrmann, as well it should be.

It is now known the great director had much admired Herrmann's work from his earliest years in Hollywood, actually attempting, unsuccessfully, to hire him early on. But, admire Herrmann though he did, it would be nearly 15 years and an amazing 17 films before Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann would collaborate for the first time.

Three of the scores hear are from that period, the 40s and early 50s, a glorious age, by anyone's measure, in Hitchcock's career.

Hitchcock always understood the importance of music in his films and sought out the best composers available. As demonstrated here, he often got them. The scores for "Notorious", "Stranger on a Train" and "Suspicion" are classics of the genre.

The final score represented here, oddly placed first on the disc, is the too-brief "End Credits" music from "Family Plot", Hitchcock's last film, by John Williams.

More of all these scores would be in order, and I have to believe the original tracks from "Family Plot" must be stored away somewhere at Universal. Why they have never been released is beyond me, except to say that, of course, we're talking about Universal. If they can't make a ride out of it for one of there theme parks, well, forget it.

Find this CD if you can. It's beautifully played, conducted and recorded.

And it was obviously lovingly produced by the late George Korngold, who, besides being a successful record producer, was, of course, the son of yet another legendary composer. Hmmmm. If only he had worked with Hitch.........!

5 out of 5 stars If you love that movsýBUY IT!.......2002-11-25

I had already a selection of Hitchcock movs main themes when I bought this cd. Yet, I wasn't satisfied cause it didn't contain a lot of music of Suspicion, Strangers On A Train and nothing from Notorius. So I had to buy this one cause I loved the music in that films.
This cd contains a lot of mysterious music for Bruno and romantic tones for Guy in Strangers On A Train.. Suspicion also contains a lot of music for Lina and Johny scenes. I specially like the "Too Fast" part. Notorius has a bit less music, yet it contains some fine variations of the main theme.
Of course the cd has its faults, for instance there's only the end credits theme for Family Plot and, as somebody said, there's a great deal of John Williams music in the film.
Yet, as whole the cd deserves a definitive 5 stars rating, cause of its rare music that will please any Hitch film music nuts, like me.

5 out of 5 stars A John Williams' "appetizer".......2002-10-29

Fans of "Sir Alfred" fondly recall his collaborations with Bernard Herrmann on several of his biggest financial and critical successes. But, there were many other instances where films directed by "Hitch" benefited by scores from other equally masterful musicians as Herrmann. This album presents four "snippets" from other masterpieces from the master of suspense.

The true jewel is the shortest selection presented here: music from "Family Plot" by John Williams. This is a wonderfully playful score that deserves the full treatment. Hopefully, Varese will take note and do a job on this one like they did for Goldsmith's "Omen" trilogy.

5 out of 5 stars Scores that have been forgotten are finally recorded.......2001-08-14

There doesn't need to be music from Bernard Herrmann all the time there's a cd that has music from Hitchcock films. This cd was made to show that Hitchcock had worked with some of the world's finest composers. I think that on track 1 and 4 that there should've have been more music. Family Plot had lots of good music that should've been performed. Well it doesn't make any difference. This cd is one of the best adaptions of Hitchcock film scores.

3 out of 5 stars Hitchcock film music without Bernard Hermann? Yes........2000-06-29

Although less complete than other compilations this anthology's marit is to remind the general public that Hitch worked with many great composers (Hugo Friedhofer, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Tiomkin, Franz Waxman and John Williams) through his carrer, a fact usually overlooked because of his remarkable partnership with Bernard Herrmann ("The Trouble with Harry", "The Man Who Knew Too Much", "The Wrong Man", "Vertigo", "North by Northwest", "Psycho", "The Birds" and "Marnie"). What really makes this CD special, however, is the only available recording of "Family Plot"s main title, composed by John Williams, making it a "de rigueur" acquisition for Hitchcock and Williams fans.
