Awesome Set!.......2007-07-01

I am a huge fan of Jerry Goldsmith. They did a great job preserving his vision. I can listen to this collection for hours. Great music!

Elmer Bernstein Film Music Collection.......2006-11-03

This is compilation of hit film music from one of the greatest composers in motion pictures. What is surprising though is the music not included like the Ghost And The Darkness, the 13th Warrior, Rudy and others. To be sure, 4 discs are not enough for a composure of this stature. THe recording, however, is an "engineering masterpiece" which makes the music even more enjoyable than when you first heard it at the movies. When are we ging to get the music that was omittd from this compilaton?

Overall a strong Goldsmith sampler.......2006-04-11

Okay, this is a CD review, so the focus is on music, but I've got to say this first: this has got to be a contender for the ugliest cover art ever. I mean, come on...instead of a tribute to the composer, the cover looks like someone spilled a glass of merlot over a NASA photo.

Fortunately, even an ugly cover will not ruin good music. And the good news is that I'd say about 75 percent of the music is good....and on a 4 cd set, that's a lot. Like other Silva compilations, the strength of this compilation is the variety. There are selections from the big releases (Star Trek, Omen, Rambo), but there is also a healthy dose of tracks from the smaller releases(Under Fire, Lionheart, The Swarm).

Two examples come to mind. Capricorn One and The Great Train Robbery are two movies that are not exactly household names today, but are dominated by two of Goldmith's finest main themes. The City of Prague Philharmonic come through with terrific renditions. And there are plenty of other strong performances...a few being concert versions conducted by Goldsmith himself. Suprisingly, "The Wind and the Lion" works, which is no small accomplishment given the ferentic original performance of "Raisuli Attacks".

It's not a complete success. A few of the performances fall flat, particularly some of the more inventive scores. Total Recall is just bad, mangling the performance with poor percussion and synthesizer choices to boot. Also a letdown is the Klingon Attack from the first Star Trek movie. The Prague Philhamonic attempt doesn't sound bad--it's just that once you've heard the original soundtrack's "blaster beam" with enough bass to rattle your teeth...well let's just say Silva's version is a little tinny in comparison.

But I shouldn't dwell on the negative. Overall, this is a strong sampler of Goldsmith's variety. There are plenty of quality performances here, and despite a few omissions (noticeably Planet of the Apes)this is a very good release from Silva.

Jerry Goldsmith - 40 years of pleasure.......2006-02-22

It was wonderful to hear Mr. Goldsmith's music that went all the way back to The Man from UNCLE, The Waltons, Dr Kildare, etc. And then to hear his music up to the present. The man was a genius!

Almost the perfect compilation.......2005-12-31

Age has its value.... This sweeping collection of compositions brings back so many great memories. This collection shows how significant Goldsmith was for both the movie screen and the small screen. With such a grand collection, every reader can be assured that at least one movie or TV program they like or remember had Goldsmith's contribution. It was an amazing life and the collection well worth having.

However, as sweepig as it is, there are a few holes in the selection. "First Contact", one of the sweetest and richest compositions from the Star Trek is absent. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is missing and the "Medicine Man" music should include the theme song. By dwelling on several selections from the Blue Max, these were squeezed out. Three full and important movie themes got the axe.

However, all but "The Ghost and the Darkness" are readily available and not overly expensive as is the "Ghost" CD. This is a must have for the TV and movie music fan.

Before there was Hans Solo there was Napolean Solo, before ER there was Dr. Kildare. Jerry Goldsmith IS Sci-Fi. "Resistance is futile.. you MUST assimilate this CD collection."

The directing debut of Braveheart scribe Randall Wallace adapts the Alexandre Dumas classic for Leonardo di Caprio and--well, at least it doesn't hit an iceberg. The first full score by sometime Hans Zimmer collaborator Glennie-Smith is one of those instances of a composer outwitting his film material. Utilizing the fusion of the electronic, symphonic and choral music familiar from Zimmer's best work, Glennie-Smith manages the impressive feat of sounding classical and contemporary in the same moment. --Jerry McCulley

Wallace dons the mask whilst Glennie-Smith tames the iron.......2006-03-26

Without Nick Glennie-Smith, we would not have been blessed such splendid work as "We Were Soldiers" or "The Rock," and although his work is not in such an ample supply as, say, John Williams or Jerry Goldsmith, I nevertheless find his music extraordinary. If given the choice, "We Were Soldiers" would likely be the one as its simplicity throughout the film with the two foremost themes not only helps set the bar for the movie (as more and more lately, the score had a tendency to guide the film, rather than the other way around), but that's saved for another time. For now, "The Man in the Iron Mask" strikes so deeply that if listeners will allow themselves to be moved simply with their ears, I find it genuinely difficult not to be taken somewhere with such musical fervor as this.

If nothing else, put yourselves in the seventeenth-century surroundings. Open your minds for the baroque templates used here not only to exemplify the time period Glennie-Smith was given to create in, but also to aid the structure that it was then. Granted, he grows a shy too dramatic through the pivotal scenes in the movie, but always in the end he struck my nerve with the "magnificent valor," indeed, that was displayed during those essential climatic instances.
The central theme, which was, of course, most frequently adhered in track thirteen, "All For One," where at that point in time in the film, the four musketeers and Philippe, D'Artagnan's other son (twin brother of [King] Louis XIV) charge forth into the heavily-armed group of musketeers, into what they all thought was their inescapable kismet. "But if we must die - if `we must die,' let it be like this," as D'Artagnan said just before the charge. While incorporating Vivaldi's work in-and-out during the movie, I have to say it was this theme, together with the more melodious counterpart between D'Artagnan and Queen Mother Anne, that never went unnoticed because without it, and I hate to state this but it's the truth, the scene where the four musketeers - and a son - went running to their prospective deaths would not have meant as much without the right prehensile tone. I respect Glennie-Smith's decision to make it so thespian because in that type situation, little less could have been expected.

When it comes down to it, you really have to ask yourself what you thought of the movie and for me; I enjoyed the film for its focal moments. Sure, the screenplay was a little off-centre with the dialogue, and as I have read through the literary edition, I'd say Randall Wallace could have kept more to the story at hand, but the motion picture, as a whole, was delightful enough. The acting was superb, predominantly on John Malkovich's, Jeremy Irons' and Gérard Depardieu's behest, and I can watch this film a number of times without feeling like I wasted anything. Even Leonardo DiCaprio, whose fame sent many of the teenaged girl throbs to see this film, did exceptional in his role as twins and I couldn't have asked for much more on his behalf.
To continue, let me just say that if you enjoyed the film, you'll likely agree that Nick Glennie-Smith's judgment to make the score as such was a fine idea, and furthermore I pray you took pleasure in listening to the man's work; for those few who did not like the movie, chances are you'll like the score even less. You'll call it tawdry, senseless and in all probability, "Hollywoodized," and in that sense you'll be wrong. Perhaps the picture itself could have been better, but for all the film's worth, Glennie-Smith, I think, did his best at creating the world Randall Wallace fashioned and stuck to the guidelines on not blemishing the job and making it another Michael Kamen tragedy in "The Three Musketeers," starring Kiefer Sutherland and Charlie Sheen. Though I cherish Kamen's work, may he rest peacefully, I really did not like "The Three Musketeers" at all, but that comes to little surprise as the film itself was a complete disgrace to Alexandre Dumas' work.

Anyway, yes. My opinion is the score was well composed and conducted, and while I haven't seen much of Nick Glennie-Smith lately, I look forward to hearing more of his evermore honing skill in the art.

(Plus, for those keen to chronology, like myself, you might be dismayed to know this soundtrack does not follow track-by-track as the film went by, and instead goes with, well, some order I haven't yet figured out. All the music is here, mind you, only not in the order seen onscreen. Don't expect any sequential arrangement.)

One of the best soundtracks I've ever heard!.......2005-04-21

Although The Man in The Iron Mask wasn't the best movie ever made, the soundtrack is one of the best I've ever heard. Nick Gelnnie-Smith does a wonderful job capturing the mood of this movie. The music is not only beautiful, but wonderfully orchestrated, brilliantly composed, and beautifully played. The soundtrack, without a doubt, far exceeds the movie.

Great soundtrack makes movie even better, yet stands alone.......2005-03-15

Mr. Glennie-Smith's incredible soundtrack takes this mediocre movie to the next level. The spirit (and action) of the film is captured so well in this score. The themes are played out and used eloquently; repeated but not overwhelmingly forced upon the listener. There is a lot going on, but these songs are easy on the ears and mind - a wonderful listen while not impeding on other aspects in your life.

Overall - a must-have soundtrack!

amazing.......2004-10-13

Awesome soundtrack.. belongs up there with the best of Hans Zimmer and John Williams and Howard Shore!! All, and I mean all the tracks on the CD are good, I didn't have to put any on skip.

A score made of solid iron.......2003-02-26

It's nice to see Nick Glennie-Smith break from co-composing scores with Hans Zimmer and compose his own scores. I wish he would do it more often because this score really shines. The music consists of 2 parts: quick tempo, upbeat action cues and more laid back, slower and softer, romantic music. "Surrounded", "King for a King", and "All For One" are the best cues with the heroic main theme played in full force. The theme slightly resembles the theme from The Rock, which makes sense because Glennie-Smith co-composed that score with Hans Zimmer and Harry Gregson-Williams. These 3 cues feature strong brasses, powerful percussion, electric guitars, synths, and a deep male voice choir, which was used a lot in The Rock. A great rousing theme, which represents the second type of music I was talking about, is found in "Heart of a King", with a nice flute solo building into a full orchestral delight. "The Moon Beckons" also contains a nicely played flute solo, playing a slightly mournful tune. "A Taste of Something" contains a lovely string theme, while "The Pig Chase" (sounds like a Springer episode title) is a fun and enjoyable woodwind and percussion delight. "The Masked Ball" is a great period piece played in a Handel like fashion. However, I was disappointed about the end of this track, which ended abruptly as in the film. In the end, this score is well balanced and an enjoyable delight. High, high recommendations for this one.

Miss the missing.......2007-04-19

it's a great CD, incredible music- but those missing cuts from the original Our Man Flint LP are some of my favorites. Inexcusable! So disappointing it affects, as another person suggested, the whole listening experience. The orignal LP had more of an impact- I'm just gonna have to finally try to clean up and record my copy to CD. I've been searching for years- and it finally comes out- cut and altered!

Large and bombastic! What great soundtracks use to be........2004-11-13

I'm still trying to find soundtracks similar to this one. No synthesisers and a symphony including every instrument know to mankind. Why can't movie scores sound like this nowadays.

Almost, nearly, but not quite it........2003-04-19

Nice thought. Great '60's scores. Produced on CD with a '90's sensibility however (action). What happened to some of the other cues from the films, especially from OUR MAN FLINT? They kind of ballanced the LP. This CD of both scores gives a little bit of a different impression entirely.

Since you can probably pick up both DVDs for little more than the price of this CD, I would recommend that as the better way of getting aquainted with these wonderful pieces of spymania.

And you will also get the movies themselves to boot.

Flint is better than Bond!.......2003-03-08

If you are a fan of Flint..Derek Flint and James Coburn, this one is for you. Great music and every tune evokes the style and elegance of Flint, the man who out bonded Bond. I find the music soothing, exciting and yet strangely inspirational. Music to spy by! Great stuff! Dr. Michael Lim The Travelling Gourmet

Bravo!.......2002-06-18

Bravo. Why not 5 stars? I consider Jerry Goldsmith among the most talented composers of movie and tv scores alive today. And Shelly Manne on drums is real treat. This cd has the original soundtrack recordings which were not previously available.

Hamlet sound track - Patrick Doyle.......2006-03-10

I spent a lot of time trying to get hold of this CD but I must say I am mildly disappointed. I thought Patrick Doyle's music for Branagh's Henry V was brilliant and that was why I was determined to obtain this sound track as well. Henry V is not Hamlet in terms of theme and plot but I think the music here tends to be too low key and lacking in drive, unlike Henry V. It is still very good in places and clearly the work of an excellent composer, but not quite up to Doyle's previous standard.

Beautiful masterpiece!!.......2002-02-22

Patrick Doyle has truly composed an awesome piece of work. The score is so well done that you can feel the emotion coming through the music alone. This is by far my favorite soundtrack and I listen to it quite often.

Fantastic collaborations.......2001-06-12

Doyle fans are aware that he collaborates regularly with actor/director, Kenneth Brannagh. With the Hamlet score, he again writes powerful complementary music which also stands alone as worthy to be performed in concert. I would be interested to hear lengthier tracks such as accompanied the lengthy, but indeed beautiful and patient, movie. (The only mistake was Billy Crystal in the movie. I thought Robin Williams did fine work.) Although, I confess, this is my least listened to in my soundtrack collection, I do enjoy it, and believe it deserves accolades.

Patrick Doyle's finest score.......2000-06-26

This is certainly one of my top 3 Patrick Doyle scores and a towering achievement. The score unfolds like a great romantic symphony encompassing several moods from serenity and inner peace ("In Pace"), to violence and lush gothic undertones ("The Ghost", "Now, could I drink hot blood"), and a finaly sense of joyous celebration ("Fanfare", "What Players are they?"). After listening constantly to Mr. Doyle's scores for "Henry V", "Much ado about nothing" and "Frankenstein", I thought he could never top such achievements and somehow he did: "Hamlet" is a masterpiece of thematic inventiveness and dramatic power. The playing is wonderful and the engineering is very clear, taking full advantage of Air Lyndhurst's glorious acoustics. If you are a fan of british classical music or a Shakespeare fan (or even better, a fan of Patrick Doyle), don't pass up this CD. Great film music. No: great music. Period!

ONE OF THE BEST OF 1988.......2005-05-14

Nigh Ranger has always been on of the favorites of the 80's, even with this CD that it's not the most successful...................well to tell you the truth, they don't have a lot of successful albums. This one is a gem, it shows you the mature, musically speaking, side of the band.

It's great on the diverse of the music on this one, we have a pop tune (very pop) "Don't Start Thinking", we have a few rockers "Man In Motion" "Love Shot Me Down" "Halfway To The Sun", of course, the classic ballads "I Did It For Love" and "Reason To Be" even an uptempo one "Kiss Me Where It Hurts" (Wow I really like this one). The rest are no fillers, are deep well played songs that you can enjoy without skipping tunes.

The great thing about this guys is that you can feel that they are enjoying playing and they know better that most musicians play their instruments.

I always felt that Alan Fritzgerald didn't fit on the band, he is not in the band on this one. After all, kind of you get use to him and when you don't see him, there is a missing piece.

One of the best of 1988. Don't have it? You really need it if you have any other album of the band.

Highlight: Man In Motion, Kiss Me Where It Hurts
Lowlight: The price. ($39.99???????)

a good solid rock album.......1998-10-23

Man In Motion is a good solid rock album.

I don't know if it's the absense of keyboardist Alan Fitzgerald or some other factor, but this album seems to me, as Night Ranger albums go, to be missing something. Not that it's a bad album. Just a little less of that something that makes me like Night Ranger, rather than other equally talented bands. It is, however, in no way a bad album.

If you're a fan of melodic hard rock, give Man In Motion a try. It's a good solid album that won't disappoint.

Too bad you missed the cheaper, domestic release!.......1998-07-14

Some may disagree, so if that colours my validity, too bad. This is DEFINITIVE AOR composition. With this release, Night Ranger have displayed the cream of their musical crop. There are hooks, harmonies, melodies, arrangements, and lyrics herein to compare favorably against any other AOR album that has come out. The only song to make it [relatively noticed] on the radio, 'I Did It for Love', wasn't written by the band, but was performed with the trademark Night Ranger ballad flavour. The rest of the disc offers more complete Night Ranger AOR than any of their other efforts.. Get your copy before it's completely out of print...

"Herrmann's scores are extraordinarily fascinating".......2000-10-21

Varese Sarabande presents a series of Bernard Herrmann's years at Fox with this first volume, featuring "Tender Is the Night", "Man In The Gray Flannel Suit" and "A Hatful Of Rain". Of the forty-nine original feature film scores, eighteen, more than one-third of the total were written for films made at 20th Century-Fox.

Now let's look at what we have on this first volume..."TENDER IS THE NIGHT", rich and expressive score with twenty tracks of "Pure Herrmann" compositions, featuring muted, unresolved pattern in the violins, first in the lowest register, repeating in an octave higher, then an octave even higher, strings build to a screeching crescendo, creating a very effective scene, which Herrmann nailed perfectly for the story-line.

Next we have "MAN IN THE GRAY FLANNEL SUIT, themes of personal integrity, the pressures of conformity, dodging the truth and playing the corporate game, all of this is captured by Herrmann's brilliant score.

Final score - "A HATFUL OF RAIN" (1957), deals with heroin, and Herrmann utilizes the orchestras string section to its fullest, composing some fierce and furious sequences, putting true-to-life addiction smack-dab in the publics eye, which until now was unspeakable...Herrmann constructs an edifice of mounting tension unreleting ostinato for winds, building and building to an ultimate climax, a theme that haunts the entire score, our composer at his best.

Herrmann was at his peak when working at Fox, an era long gone but not forgotten, as we now have Herrmann's classic scores on CD, thanks to Varese Sarabande!

Total Time: 74:25 on 26 Tracks...Varese Sarabande-066052...(1999)

Great and rare Herrmann scores.......2000-06-29

I remember how in the mid eighties - when I started collecting soundtracks by the great Bernard Herrmann - I would never have dreamed that someday such rare items in the composer's output would someday be preserved on disc. Bu now, thanks to the enterprising record producer Nick Redman, Bernard Herrmann afficionados are treated to the first volume of 20th Century Fox's Herrmann anthology. Volume 1 and 2 focus on Herrmann's richest period, namely the late fifties and early sixties. "Tender is the Night" is the main course on this album. This is a moody, melancholic effort. Sad elegies. Sometimes quite claustrophobic. Remembrances of a place and people long gone. Your typical Bernard Herrmann score. Actually, this is the kind of musical atmosphere I was hearing in my mind while reading F.Scott Fitzgerald's novel on which this movie is based. There are shades of Vertigo's quiter moments interspersed throughout. The "main title" was not written by Herrmann. Unfortunately, Fox music executive Lionel Newman asked Gus Khan and Sammy Fain to come up with a potential hit song. The result is schmaltzy and mundane: the movie bombed. Fortunately, it can be easily skipped in favor of Herrmann's much more ambitious musical scenario. "The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit" is also very good, featuring a gorgeous soaring main theme and some atmospheric passages. Volume 1 concludes with "A Hatful of Rain". It is comparatively quite stark and brooding. Here is the flip side of "Benny" Herrmann: relentless, obsessive scoring. Although these movies are now quite old, the sound is in very crisp stereo with good channel separation. Some hissy parts. But the sound si great. 3 nice scores, well preserved. Informative booklet notes. Volume 2 ("Garden of Evil") and 3 ("Anna and the King of Siam") are also highly recommended. An important addition to Bernard Herrmann's growing discography.

A must for classic soundtrack and Herrmann lovers.......1999-09-13

Another winner from Fox-Varese. These selections were taken from the orginal soundtrack recording sessions conducted by Herrmann himself. They sound wonderful and should be supported by classic soundtrack lovers.

The best-known soundtracks of composer Philip Glass have stood the test of time extremely well. Today, we associate Koyaanisqatsi as much with Glass's vast soundscape as we do with director Godfrey Reggio's haunting images. Philip on Film gathers three complete Glass scores--Koyaanisqatsi, Powaqqatsi, and Dracula, along with selections from La Belle et la Bête, Anima Mundi, Kundun, Mishima, The Secret Agent, The Thin Blue Line, and a handful of short films.

The Glass trademarks--those machinelike arpeggios; that familiar, if odd, electronic keyboard sound; the influence of non-Western vocal techniques--are all here. Glass has forged his own unmistakable style of epic-sounding minimalism, but it never gets stale. A few unreleased tracks on Philip on Film will serve hardcore Glass fans (who probably already own most of these works), including "Facades" from Godfrey Reggio's Evidence and a track each from Atom Egoyan's Diaspora and Peter Greenaway's The Man in the Bath. --Jason Verlinde

SEVERELY ALTERED "Belle et la Bete".......2005-12-22

...which is uncalled for. IT IS SPED UP from its original recording, making some of the high notes hit by the female singers truly chipmunk-like. I can't believe they would release this...let's speed it up to fit it on ONE disk! What a GOOD idea. No. Not a good idea.

Reviewers are not looking at this correctly.......2003-04-03

John Adams and Steve Reich were first introduced to me in detail through their respective Nonesuch 10-disc re-releases of previous material. These box sets were never intended to be some new experience for the seasoned Adams and Reich fans, but were instead created either to introduce these artists to those of us who hadn't previously heard their works or to serve as a nicely packaged collector's item.

Like both of the aforementioned box sets, the Philip on Film box set contains complete selections of a few recordings, some new material, and some other works stripped down (either by editing the tracks or by including a few complete tracks from each work). While this package could have easily been ten discs long, evidently Nonesuch was only interested in including those recordings which were featured on the Philip on Film Tour.

I encourage any new Glass listener to purchase this great set: it served as a superb intro to his works for me, as did the Adams and Reich sets.

A re-approach.......2001-12-10

Everyone who thinks of this as purely a repackaged box set doesn't fully understand the nature of this set. In the introduction, Philip Glass mentions that most of the works represented is from a series of concerts where the music is interpreted live while the movie is presented on a screen behind the performers. I personally attented these performances in Austin, TX and was very pleased with the results. The first night consisted of the Shorts, or the 5th disc of this set. The Man in the Bath, Passages, Evidence (Facades with synth), Diaspora, and Anima Mundi where all performed live by The Philip Glass ensemble with the movie itself in the background. The following 4 performances where of Powaqqasti, Le Belle et La Bete, Dracula, and Koyaanisqatsi. Seeing these films with the music has shed a new light on these scores for me, because I had previously heard almost all of them, but to the recording at hand.
This set of discs is something you might pick up at a live concert of your favorite local band, representing what they played that night in studio recording. This set of discs was released to accompany Philip's current world tour of Philip On Film. Although almost all of it has been released previously, this isn't just a way to make a "quick buck". This is a great way to get most of the music played at these performances and, most of all, is a bargin way to get a lot of his best music to date. I also don't personally agree with the "highlights" idea with Belle and Mundi, but to a person wanting post-Einstein Glass, this is a good way to start. Also, I would think that anyone who believes that Glass has written the same music since Einstein needs to listen more and generalize less because there is a wealth of music out there that you may not realize exists.

The Worst of Phil?.......2001-10-30

Anyone who thinks that Powaqqatsi is "the worst of Phil" needs to have his head examined.

More of the same.......2001-10-17

Okay, I give up! The world (or at least the music industry) wants to keep Philip Glass's star in ascendance, with new commissions, and new recordings, or expensive repackagings of previously issued recordings. Glass hasn't had a new idea since 1976, when his "Einstein on the Beach" was the freshest new sound imaginable. Basically, all he's done is re-write that work over and over (and over!) again ever since. While there are cool parts to some of these scores, most of this is the same arpeggiated chords he's been using for the last 25 years! Somebody wake me up when this guy gets a new idea!
