Edmilson 7,396 Posted October 1, 2019 Share Posted October 1, 2019 On the website that I used to write film music reviews, one of my predecessors was a woman, named Viviane something (I forgot her last name, lol). She was a great reviewer and a fan of Alexandre Desplat, James Horner and I guess some of John Williams drama scores. I learned a lot about film music and discovered to many great scores because of her. But indeed it's a little sad that film music fandom seems to be a sausage fest.

The album also contains one of the few re-recordings of the Lost World theme although it feels a tad lacking in bite should I say. The version of Cadillac of the Skies from Empire of the Sun on this album is also a really strange arrangement which is worthy of owning if for nothing else than its uniqueness. Perhaps they didn't have the official concert arrangement on hand so had to make due with this curious version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that concert arrangement on Spielberg/Williams album is pure John Williams magic, a wonderful melding of two different choral cues from the score (one alternate actually) into this magnificent uplifting piece. The Kunzel version feels tacky in comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh, to me it's much less than the sum of its original parts - or even either of them on their own. Out to Sea/Shark Cage Fugue, on the other hand, is one of the most inspired decisions of genius I've ever heard! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
