Compiling film themes into a consistently engaging listen has never been easy. Sony has really pulled it off on The Classic Score though, drawing together a genuinely impressive playlist from multiple labels and artists. Its success is in part down to the ear of whoever compiled it, but it's also a fantastic reminder that film music has by no means grown stale while embracing the 21st century. Witness the popular hits: The Phantom Menace's "Duel of the Fates", Harry Potter, Gladiator, Hannibal, Black Hawk Down, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, American Beauty, P...

Artist:
John Williams
Thanks in no small part to his relationship with directors Steven Spielberg and George Lucas, composer John Williams has been associated with many of the greatest box-office successes of all time. Combining original tracks with re-recordings, Greatest Hits 1969-1999 surveys the astonishing body of work assembled by the composer over the past three decades. This handsomely packaged two-disc set demonstrates how Williams single-handedly revived the romantic, symphonic film score as personified by the Golden Age of Hollywood, while affirming the value of film as an important vehicle for serious musical expression at the same time. The composer's melodic gifts are emph...

As the bridging film of the original Star Wars trilogy, The Empire Strikes Back (1980) topped its predecessor in terms of story, character development, and special effects. Directed by Irvin Kershner, the sequel documents the relentless pursuit of the rebels by Darth Vader, a burgeoning romance between Han Solo and Princess Leia, and the training of Luke by the mystical Yoda. Taking advantage of his elaborate leitmotif design, composer John Williams introduces a wise, spiritual theme for Yoda and a delicate love theme that assumes a more dramatic profile after Han is betrayed and frozen into sculpture. The score is also an imaginative inventory of se...
