When I played this, the neighbors knew about it.If you like good movie\adventure music, this CD is awesome. When I first bought this CD, I used to have a real stereo that I lost in a later divorce. In my opinion, this is some of the best movie music ever produced, an audiophiles dream. The thing that I seem to remember as being most striking was the "Empire Strikes Back" theme. The bass drum would shake the whole house. The recording is crisp and clear and there is no clutter as there often is with symphonic recordings. Fly to the stars and run through the jungle without leaving your couch.
I agree with 'a music fan'. Classic heart-warming scores, from Indiana Jones to Star Wars; Superman to E.T. This is a must have for a complete John Williams greatest hits list. It replaces all the all-time classic movie soundtracks,- saving almost $100. I never want to part from this CD. And now, I wonder how I ever did without it :)A++
The first track on this CD is actually a combination of the first two "tracks" listed on Amazon's web page, joined one immediately after the other with no pause between them. This is also a source of confusion if you rip this CD using Windows Media Player or other services which list these tracks as separate entities when in fact they are not, causing all the tracks to be misnamed. Hence, there are actually ten physical tracks, not eleven. Why the manufacturer of the CD chose to do this is anyone's guess. Excellent duplication of the movie sound tracks, though. Better than the originals in the movies.
If you want a best-of John Williams CD this is the one to get. My favorites are Raiders of the Lost Ark and of course Star Wars. The recording quality is very good on all tracks - DE
