John Williams is a god. Plain and simple. There is no other way to put it. The most famous pieces of music from a movie in the last 27 years or so has come from him. The music that totally [stinks] you in and brings you totally in the moment. If you need the kind of music that guarantees that kind of reaction, John Williams is your man. The music that he has done that has brought him to this status is all here. Who can forget the menacing terror of the "Jaws" theme?. It is, quite simply, the most famous piece of music to induce terror since the shower scene music from "Psycho". If not more. Everything else here is all just as good. The heroic theme to "Superman" is easily the best theme song for a superhero ever created. The theme for "Indiana Jones" is a close runner for that too. You can't listen to these two powerful scores and not get goosebumps. This is what film scoring is all about. Who could forget his theme to "Star Wars"?. Brilliant. The music the spaceship played in "Close Encounters Of The Third Kind"?. Unforgettable. The beautiful score for "E.T." is also here. His work just doesn't stop at movies. He did the music for the Olympics and for the NBC Nightly News. He has done some incredible work since the release of this CD. The adventurous score for "Jurassic Park" and it's sequels, the haunting score for "Schindler's List", and the whimsical fairy tale score for "Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone". "Schindler" may be one of the all time greatest pieces of film scoring I've ever heard. It's not here, but we can hope that this CD gets updated!!. I hope John Williams continues to go strong well into the future. Movies won't be the same without him. Get this.
