Crocodile's Alien and Alexander's Home Alone deserve my vote for best recent purchases in this thread. Plus everybody's Hooks of course.

I've had the old single disc release of the original tracks for years (Map of Jerusalem has long been one of my very favorite cues; the love theme is beyond gorgeous), but this blows it out of the water soundwise. And it's a much more satisfying listening experience; The Crucifixion alone made it worth the upgrade.
Oh, and now I can play this and Demetrius and the Gladiators back-to-back!

From a storytelling point of view, from a directing point of view, there is one thing I associate with what he does, which is calm. There is such an inherent calm and inherent trust of the one powerful image, that he makes me embarrassed with my own work, in terms of how many different shots, how many different sound effects, how many different things we’ll throw at an audience to make an impression. But with Kubrick, there is such a great trust of the one correct image to calmly explain something to audience. There can be some slowness to the editing. There’s nothing frenetic about it. It’s very simple. There’s a trust in simple storytelling and simple image making that actually takes massive confidence to try and emulate.

If I had to comment on the style the score is in, I'd say it is a much closer cousin to Alex North's Cleopatra, and Spartacus (to a lesser extent) than to the Ròzsa epics, or Tiomkin's Roman Empire.
There is a lot of small ensemble stuff, as I think someone on FSM mentioned. The big stuff is really grand, but there are no huge sweeping melodic lines. The love theme is beautiful, though very sad. The Christ theme stresses mystery and the spirtual unknown. The score as a whole is fairly dark.
The sound is great on the release, you can hear so much of what is going on. Really impressive for what is really one of the earliest stereo film scores.

i find it much more accessible than the North scores though. And it has an awesome choral piece. And a bit that might well have been temp tracked into Star Wars.
Any comment on sound quality compared to the previous 2CD release?

All I had was MP3s of the previous release, but I feel that this one sounds much clearer.
It definitely is more accesible than North's scores, but I feel like Cleopatra owes a lot to Newman's approach.

Must be a printing error. Mine is labelled correctly.
Repeat the JWFan pledge after me: 'I hereby recognise John Towner Williams' place in the world as the great composer there has ever been, and I therefore renounce the works of Rozsa, Korngold, Herrmann, Horner, Kamen, Giacchino (unless the prophecy is fulfilled and he becomes the heir to JTW) and Goldsmith, especially Goldsmith. I understand that if I ever refer to Jurassic Park as anything less than "a masterpiece sixty-five million years in the making" I will be resigned to living out my days at the Zimmershrine.'

Ars superior est vita hominum.
"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-
I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-
