Sound the Bells - John Williams and others
Silence! The Musical (Cast Recording) - Jon and Al Kaplan
Stravsinky: The Rite of Spring and the Firebird Suite - Bernstein and the New York Philharmonic
Wonderful Town - Leonard Bernstein
Poltergiest (OST) - Jerry Goldsmith
I was tempted to get the FSM version of Poltergeist, but as a casual Goldsmith fan I'm not sure the new music would be worth the extra $14.

I would think so.It's more than enough, isn't?
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-

America, The Dream Goes On - John Williams and the Boston Pops
Dvorak: The New World Symphony - Paavo Jarvi and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
The first has a couple pieces I've been meaning to get--Hoe Down, Fanfare for the Common Man, and of course JW's America the Dream Goes On. The rest should be a fun and enjoyable listen.

It's also not on Naxos but on "Threefold Records", with a "Carl Davis Collection" icon on the top. I've also seen a Naxos credit for it somewhere (Amazon I think), but I assume it was just mislabelled. Or perhaps they're owned by Naxos or something. Price certainly was regular for a score release, i.e. higher than the standard Naxos price.

Most of it is throw-away pop music, but it contains some cues from the score that aren't available anywhere else. Of particular importance is "The Chariot Race," which is one of Hans Zimmer's greatest single cues. I would imagine that even those who dislike Zimmer's style would enjoy this one, it has many Golden Age influences (especially near the end).

While I love Prince of Egypt and I think it's one of Zimmer's finest achievements, you have to give credit where it's due: The Chariot Race is a Harry Gregson-Williams' cue, using Zimmer's themes.

Isn't it nice when you can't never be entirely sure if a Zimmer score is truly a Zimmer score. You have to read the fine print to see who was responsible for what.Oh okay. I don't take the time to figure out who wrote each Zimmer cue, but I will say that HGW just won a lot of points in my book (and Zimmer just lost a few).

I'm really really curious what this score is like. From the few samples I heard it sounds very good indeed. Can't wait!

Treesong - John Williams
Rosewood - John Williams
Presumed Innocent - John Williams
The King and I (1977 Revival) - Rodgers and Hammerstein
Swingin' for the Fences - Gordin Goodwin's Big Phat Band
The top three are releases I've been meaning to get for a long time, especially Presumed Innocent. But I'd imagine they make for a pretty dense and possibly depressing listening experience, so I wanted to lightened it up with the last two releases. I don't know much about King and I - I've heard some songs but I've never seen any incarnation of the work - but I love Rodgers and Hammerstein (who doesn't) and I've been told this is one of their best. 1977 revival sounded the best from the Amazon reviews - I almost bought the film soundtrack, but a reviewer said it contains dialogue and SFX. My friend recently bought the last release, and it sounds awesome. Especially "Mueva los Huesos."
