Advantages: Great recordings and variety

Disadvantages: it isnt 4 cds

I have always loved film music. I have many cds with film music on but this is by far the best. It is a 3 cd boxset with forty tracks in all from a variety of composers from the most famous of all, John williams to lesser known but equally good film composers such as Danny Elfman. This CD includes some very well chosen tracks such as Apollo 13 and Dr. Zhivago as well as the more well known and recognisable tunes such as Pirates of the Caribbean and ET. All tracks are played by very well regarded orchestras, mostly the Royal Philharmonic and Royal scottish national orchestra.
The variety on this cd really is great, there are some fabulous recordings and there is enough that when you are bored with one track, as one can get with film music after a while, you can move onto a variety of other tracks or cds and get a really good impression of the whole world of the music which can really change a film from a good movie to a real tearjurker.
I love these cds and would recomend them to anyone who likes classical music or even just loves film music.

Summary: love this brilliant cd of film music

I usually stay away from compilations of this type, but I suppose for the general person on the street a collection of popular stuff like this is often all they need. I would have liked to read a bit more on individual performances and maybe how they stack up on the originals... or of the performances in general considering film music re-recordings can at times be an acquired taste.
