NP: Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban - John Williams
Definitely the best Potter score so far! I love every track on this one, from the hilarious Aunt Marge's Waltz to the jazzy Knight Bus to the lovely A Window To The Past. The Dementor music with the infernal sounding choir is absolutely fantastic!
Yeap. A score full of magic!
I love "double trouble" theme, and a "window to the past".
NP:Broken Arrow Complete (Zimmer)
When in a electronic score the chorus sings "agnus Dei" you know it's not an usual action score.
I guess harry Gregson Williams contribuition was very significant about the chorus.
I just love the sound of a Hight Tech Western and then there is....

Deep Impact James Horner
Full of lovely Hornerisms. The highlight of the whole score, for me, is when the choir kicks in on the final track.

Oh definitely, an underrated gem and it compliments the movie so well.
Star Trek Generations (Dennis McCarthy)
The nexus theme is particularly magical and the main theme heard in the overture and other cues is very heroic and memorable but where this score overall falls short is in the action and suspense material. McCarthy tries his best to inject energy into them but they're least good parts of a slightly better than average album. And please what are those Enterprise sound effects doing taking up place of 15 minutes of score. That's right... 15 minutes of sound effects luckily found at the end.

Talking about Hornerisms...
NP:Spiderwick Chronicles (Horner)
If were not for the Casper motif....
Anyway, Great to see Horner back to his fantasy adventure score.
Some agressive fanfarres are the reasnos why I loved Horner long time ago... -

The Specialist - John Barry
Not a great Barry score, but has some great Barry moments, especially the jazzy theme and "Ray Meets May at her Funeral", which is a stunning piece of scoring in the film, and just as good on the album. -

NP: König der letzten Tage - Wojciech Kilar
Antoni Wit conducting the National Symphony Orchestra of Polish Radio and Television
The best Kilar score I've heard. I'm playing the scintillating re-recorded suite from the album Bram Stoker's Dracula and other film music by Wojciech Kilar

Senso' 45 - Ennio Morricone
I had read James' review before listening to the CD so I expected a not-so-good Morricone score. But I was wrong (or should I say: James was wrong???) This is great music! The main theme is beautiful and so are the other themes. I even like the tension music because it is rhytmic and has style. So Morricone did it again!
(Give it another spin, James!) -

Listening the complete, is a little bit like listening the complete from Peacemaker.
Without Rona Compilation you have more a real sense of " score", with more incidental music and more techno stuff from Zimmer.
Great! Rediscovering an "old friend"!

Oh yes, oh man. When I first played that (I hadn't heard much of Jarre), I was like going mad because of all these awesomenesslike themes. So many driving, epic themes this guy wrote! I'm glad I have met him, even though he was so quiet and calm when I asked him an autograph.Kazoo -

The Polar Express (custom album - Alan Silvestri)
A wonderful 12 track long album featuring mostly score and 4 songs featured in the movie is what should've been released in the first place. Still this is exemplary writing from Silvestri, been a while since he wrote something so strong and magical to dream away by. I love how Silvestri always managed to keep his style, his freshness and energy, from when he started out. He must be one of the few composers that evolved but not diminished in writing quality. This is great stuff, and I even dig the fluffy songs.

Star Trek V: The Final Frontier (Jerry Goldsmith)
Wonderful to revisit this one... This is the Goldsmith I adore. Beautiful themes, rhythmic action, underscore that is never boring and very well implemented synths. Many noteworthy tracks. 'A Busy Man' is brilliantly moving. 'An Angry God' is superbly evil. 'Life Is a Dream' is a heavenly finish. The rest of the score is Goldsmith in super creative form. Jeez, this man could write the most incredible music for movies that hardly deserve it. After this the Star Trek music went downhill, apart from First Contact of course.
Jerry, even when no longer among us, you continue to amaze me !!!"considering I've seen an enormous debate here about The Amazing Spider-Man and the ones who love it, and the ones who hate it, I feel myself obliged to say: TASTE DIFFERS, DEAL WITH IT" - Thomas G. -

I'm listening to this as well. This compilation also contains my favorite rendition of any Lawrence of Arabia suite I've heard. The suite actually comes from the Tribute to David Lean concert (which is available both on CD and DVD from Milan Records.) Superb stuff!

The Music of Batman performed by The City of Prague Philharmonic is a Silva Compilation incorporating several Batman films. For me the original Elfman theme always gives me the goosebumps no matter who is playing it
I just noticed on this compilation that on track 6 there is a lot of similiarity to Holst/Mars in the Final Confrontation. Nice touchlisten to more classical music! -
