Although the practice extends back to at least 1974, when Toots Theilemans recorded the harmonica solos for "Sugarland Express," more and more frequently, it seems to be the case that Williams is inviting celebrity guest artists to take part in his scores. Which guest(s), to you personally, makes the strongest contribution to a Williams soundtrack? I don't mean which score is your favorite; I mean which partnership works best?

I voted for "Born on the Fourth of July", as this was the soundtrack that brought me to filmmusic in general, and to John Williams especially.

Although "Schindler´s List" may be a better vote...

I agree with Morn. Schindler's List is the standard for guest soloist/performer on any film score.

I wonder if Horner tried to undermind that by having Joshua Bell play on Iris.

Director - fan of Josh
