1 out of 5 stars Very disappointing, considering what it could have been.......2007-04-20

Take a look at the running times:

Disc 1: 60 minutes
Disc 2: 50 minutes
Disc 3: 61 minutes
Disc 4: 58 minutes

What gives Silva? There is *MUCH* more John Williams in the silva screen back catalogue by the Prague Philharmonic than what is in this set, and thats not including their entire discs devoted to Star Wars Films, Indiana Jones Trilogy etc. Why isn't Hook "When You're Alone" included on Disc 2? There's room. Why isn't 1941 on Disc 1? There's room. Why isn't Earthquake on Disc 3? There's room. Why isn't Far and Away on disc 4? There's room. Where's the other ten minutes of the Rare Breed suite on disc 3? Why isn't Midway on disc 1? Where are the Land of the Giants, Time Tunnel and Lots In Space tv themes? Etc. Etc. Etc.

C'mon Silva, most of these 4 disc mega boxes released in the past few years are packed to the brim, but not this one, and with new recordings made after this was released (the terminal, munich, geisha, war of the worlds, star wars ep 3, harry potter 3), it only makes sense for a "re-do" in the next couple of years.

Further, with Silva releasing the 100 Greatest Film Themes on six discs in a couple of months, it's only a matter of time before we see the ultimate six disc john williams set.

This isn't a BAD set to own, but it could have been much better and when compared to the Jerry Goldsmith and John Barry sets in this same series, this one is a major letdown.

5 out of 5 stars Always a pleaser.......2007-03-31

I listen to music all day with patients in my dental chair. This one is a winner with everyone. Patients always comment on how they recognize a song. Who doesn't love John Williams? His music transcends time.

5 out of 5 stars JOHN WILLIAMS 40 Years of Film Music.......2007-01-10

This 4 cd pack is an anthology of all John Williams works. From his earlier works "The Poseidon Adventure" and "Jaws" right through "Indiana Jones" and the most recent"Star Wars" prequel movies are included. Williams work in thriller and horror are also included. If you are into soundtracks and love movie music this is an essential buy. The quality of the music is excellent. With ten or more tracks on each cd it's well worth the money.

5 out of 5 stars Movie Music Magic & Memorabilia.......2006-12-13

This four CD set expands on the previously released John Williams Greatest Hits. It's a grand collection of nearly four hours of famous music scores from over forty years. There are many songs never before available in any collection. The short liner notes tell a great tale of musical movie history and include all of his numerous award nominations and wins. Each song (oddly enough) mentions the actors and the director, so fond are John Williams's memories of his work with these people. All of the conductors are mentioned along with specific orchestras, choirs, arrangement and orchestration specialists and even the publishers (contractual, I am sure). The only things missing are his early television scores, such as those for "Lost In Space" (by Johnny Williams back then). But with four discs, one has nothing to complain about and everything to enjoy!

5 out of 5 stars John Williams: 40 Years of Outstanding Film Music.......2006-11-28

I have been a huge fan of John Williams and I have known about his music for years. However, I never actually bought any of his music on CD. I was rather skeptical about purchasing this CD but when it arrived I knew I had made the right choice. The sound quality of the compilation is outstanding. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do a great job under the direction of Paul Bateman. The original London Symphony Orchestra CDs of John Williams' Star Wars Trilogy CDs are marginally better but this is still a great CD compilation. If you love ET, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and Harry Potter, you will love this compilation soundtrack. Buy it, listen to these CDs in the car and enjoy every minute of the collection!!!

1 out of 5 stars lovely music, but . . . . ........2007-07-03

No one doubts that Bach's music is beautiful, and so many of the pieces in this album, favorites of his second wife, are lovely. Here are my objection. First of all, nowhere on the outside of this CD does this indicate that these are only *highlights* of the Anna Magdelena notebook. Furthermore, many of the tracks (from French Suites #1 & #2, from the Well-Tempered Clavier, from the Goldberg Variations) are pieces I already own in high quality recording by virtuosi. This CD does not limit itself, say, to pieces that Bach composed originally for this collection; in other words, there is nothing scholarly about the pieces that were chosen for these highlights. Rather, it is essentially selling a "Bach's Greatest Hits" kind of CD under a more respectable name. For those whose classical collections consist primarily of "Greatest Hits" collections of various composers, you might as well toss in this CD. For the discriminating collector, though, interested in collecting serious works by Bach, this CD is entirely unworthy.

5 out of 5 stars Anna Magdalena Notebook-- a treasure trove of Baroque music.......2006-03-20

This is music for contemplating number and time and not realize you are doing that. These pieces from Anna Magdalena Bach's notebook are a significant part of the history of western culture, and the music is brilliant, lucid, and passionate. Just as, I suppose, Bach's wife was. Played on harpsichord and clavichord, the work-- not all by Bach-- seems rigourously, mysteriously modern, and the anonymous "Musette in A Major" one could even say had in it the roots of ragtime piano. Last but not least, it's quite possible that Lorraine Hunt Lieberson can never be less than sublime.

5 out of 5 stars Music for Bach's Katy.......2005-03-31

Luther had his Katy who supported him and the Reformation magnificently and faithfully. Bach who was real student and follower of Luther's, had his second wife, Anna Magdalena who was so much for him and his family and music.

Here great notebook of the music she enjoyed immensely so we can as well.

Especially fond of harpsichord music, this has marvelous selection of that, but fond of Rondeau in B-flat major. Minuet in G major is one of my favorites. New to me are the Arias, especially "Bist du bei mir" and ""Ich habe genug". If you're not conversant in German, do go on the website the liner notes provides and get the translation in English for these are marvelous testimonies of their faith in words and song.

5 out of 5 stars Charming and beautiful.......2004-12-13

This CD is a collection of music from the notebook of Bach's wife, who was a singer. It includes dances, arias and other favorite songs. Most of the pieces range from peppy little dance tunes(like Musette in A Major) to delicate baroque airs (like Prelude no.1), all played on the harpsichord, clavichord or cello. The pieces that really stand out are the arias, sung beautifully by Lorraine Hunt Lieberson in German. Most are religious, but there is one that is a nice love song "Willst du mein Herz mir schenken." The website on the back of the liner notes has the lyrics for the arias and they are worth reading. Besides the fact that this is good music, it also provides interesting insight into Bach's life and family and the liner notes have some interesting information about Anna and her notebook. This is a charming collection of music that is a great and cheap addition to any classical music collection.

5 out of 5 stars Bach's wifes' collection of her favorite pieces.......2001-06-10

Yes Music of JS Bach chosen by his wife who was a singer. This collection is a lovely and beautifully performed collection of harpicord and intimate pieces that were Anna's most cherished favorites composed by her husband. What a lovely addition to any chamber music lovers collection. It affords not only wonderful selections but a rare window into the behind the scenes aspect of Bachs life and the commanding role music played in his and his family's life. The performances range from delicate to sublime and are beautifully recorded. It is an amazing bargin to have such an esoteric collection of Bachs' work so well done and so cheap. My god run and get the whole series; I have and when I want a perfect day I just pile them in my CD and press the forward button. The result is a day of glorious music on a scale to be both background as well as a breathtakingly elegant listening experience.

Amazon.com

In adapting Chris Van Allsburg's beloved, 1986 Caldecott Medal winning children's Christmas fable, director Robert Zemeckis fused the technologies of live-action motion capture and CGI to an unprecedented degree, producing a visual sensibility that perfectly embodies the netherworld between fantasy and reality that made the book so inviting. Musically, Zemeckis has shrewdly teamed longtime collaborator Alan Silvestri with hit tunesmith Glen Ballard for the original half his soundtrack, then given the rest over to a star-packed tribute to pop Christmas past that includes such timeless chestnuts as Bing Crosby's "White Christmas," "Winter Wonderland" by the Andrew Sisters and Perry Como's "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas." But the Silvestri/Ballard originals here are the main event, from Tom Hanks' vigorous vocal mugging on the title track and "Hot Chocolate" through the innocent charm of "When Christmas Comes to Town" and the over-the-top, jumpin' jive of Steven Tyler's "Rockin' On Top of the World." Josh Groban's "Believe" overdoes the treacle, but Silvestri's rich choral workouts and underscore suite are grand Hollywood-scaled tributes to the spirit of the season. Also available in a deluxe, illustrated children's book format gift edition that includes an actual encased jingle bell embedded in the cover. --Jerry McCulley

Album Description

I am 57 yet I thoroughly enjoyed the movie and as a result bought the soundtrack. It plays in my Subaru's CD and has songs that remind me of childhood, songs that are fun, and others that make me want to move to the beat. It takes you through the movie and I find myself recalling little scenes from the movie. It was an outstanding performance by Tom Hanks and he puts just the right amount of train conductor and wise sage in the cuts he does on this soundtrack. I am glad I bought it.

It's ironic that electronica's forefathers include two German bands whom, at least on the surface, were polar opposites. On the one hand, there was Can--shaggy, Stockhausen-trained advocates of trance improvisation--and on the other, Kraftwerk: clean-cut control freaks and masters of the pristine machine groove. Yet, even at their most robotic, Kraftwerk manages to locate the soul of the machine, as they demonstrate throughout this 1977 outing. Hell, the mannequin manifesto "Showroom Dummies" alone is worth the price of admission. For a band so closely tied to technology, it's a testament to Ralf and Florain that their music continues to sound fresh more than two decades down the autobahn. --Bill Forman

3 out of 5 stars Slightly less repetitious and dull as it is edgy and seductive.......2007-04-25

3 1/2

It's good, quite good for Kraftwerk's body of werk, of course appreciated infinitely more in it's proper context, though I always felt these rightful legends were more producers then artists. These grandfathers of electronic music indeed pioneered the euro-techno-minimalist template to an astounding degree, though they seemed, as is with many innovative musical groups, to often eclipse substance with style. What some consider their finest disc, certainly may be a solid piece of the coldly melodic kraftmenship fans have come to expect, but usually remains pretentiously detached for an unfamiliar crowd. Most of a short run time is spent on the purposely restrictive but calculatedly executed beats, melodies and vocals in an enticing enough way that makes the album a worthy visit now and again, but hardly merits frenzied devotion.

4 out of 5 stars Proto-electronica.......2007-04-16

The seminal work that influenced all of the pop-rock music of the 80's, and the ambient music movement of the 90's and beyond. An important milestone in electronic music.

5 out of 5 stars Really good.......2007-03-24

Kraftwerk is a good ensemble. I say ensemble for lack of a better term. Anyway, this album is great. Start to finish good. One must listen the whole way through without skipping around to truly appreciate how good it is. Their other albums, particularly man machine and computer world, while both excellent can get boring. But in this case, you don't have to worry. I haven't gotten bored yet, and even after the glamor of the whole object has been lost, I can still return to individual tracks for pure joy. Just lie down on the floor, throw it on, and relax. Cool.

5 out of 5 stars Another one to add to your collection........2007-02-22

Not all Kraftwerk albums are worthy of purchase, but this one is. Careful when a CD has multiple songs with same title. That usually means the creativity has given way to duplication. Not here. So, this should be added to your colletion.

5 out of 5 stars Through a Glass Electronically.......2007-01-19

I've listened to quite a few Kraftwerk albums since college friends introduced me to this talented and innovative group back in the early '90's, but somehow I'd missed out on "Trans-Europe Express" until this last Christmas. This is really excellent electronic music, possibly one of Kraftwerk's best efforts. Sometimes it seems that their sense of musicality and melody and such gets just a bit swamped by their fascination with mechanical and computerized sound, and sometimes this makes some of their pieces seem to drag just a bit on the verge of monotony--never completely, but a tad too close for comfort. They have deftly dodged this minor glitch in this album, though, even with the wonderfully harsh, mechanistic "Metal on Metal" to say nothing of the beautifully transcendental "Endless Endless" or the disturbingly surreal "Hall of Mirrors." On a humorous note, "Showroom Dummies" inevitably evoked for me the classic Doctor Who villains known as the Autons (aggressively colonizing beings who inhabit plastic mannequins and attack earth, starting with our shopping malls) but I suspect this was unintentional on Kraftwerk's part. In any case, I think this may well be the most approachable album for those newly wishing to explore Kraftwerk's work, but old explorers like myself will undoubtedly enjoy it as well.

After trying several times previously to purchase this CD, only to find it sold out, I am glad I finally have it. I remember this well from the 70s (as a vinyl LP), before we used the term "fusion" very extensively to describe music that is a mixture of rock and jazz.

This CD is a good blend of musical forms--primarily rock and jazz, good vocals, with a little R&B thrown in, and then stirred. Enjoy.

Brian Auger let himself in this one to take his funk etitude to the top. he bland it with some latin rock and bluse influenses and the result is somthing thet you will listen to over and over agein. buy it now.

Amazon.com essential recording

There are many, many Andrew Lloyd Webber albums out there, including cut-and-paste compilations and songbooks from individual artists, most notably Sarah Brightman, Michael Crawford, and even Jose Carreras. The Premiere Collection is probably as authentic as you can get in a hits album, however. In addition to the most popular selections from the original casts of Evita, Cats, and Jesus Christ Superstar, the 57-minute album includes two selections from Tell Me on a Sunday (also recorded by Bernadette Peters as Song and Dance), the title tune from Starlight Express, the "Pie Jesu" from the Requiem, and a snippet from the Paganini Variations, thereby allowing you to hear the good stuff without having to spring for the complete albums. Note that the three selections from Phantom of the Opera are the 1986 pop singles instead of the cast recordings, meaning Steve Harley rather than Crawford sings with Brightman on the title tune and Cliff Richard subs for Steve Barton on "All I Ask of You." (Crawford does sing "The Music of the Night," of course.) This 1989 compilation was too early for Aspects of Love or Sunset Boulevard, and Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is ignored, but these omissions are rectified in the follow-up album The Premiere Collection Encore, and the American-slanted version, The Very Best of Andrew Lloyd Webber: The Broadway Collection. --David Horiuchi

4 out of 5 stars Musical Pleasure.......2007-07-03

I enjoy all of this music, listening frequently. Some not original cast members, so less than 5 star. Product exactly as advertised.

5 out of 5 stars The Premiere Collection.......2007-01-17

My sister had this and it got destroyed. She wanted an other, This was the only place I have found it!! Very hard to find! I have been to every music store in my area. She loved it!! And was so happy to have it again. Anyone who loves Andrew Lloyd Webber will love this. As it has many songs from some of his most famous plays with the original cast. Great item.

5 out of 5 stars beautiful.......2006-12-21

This CD is a great compilation of some of Andrew Lloyd Webber's hits. If you are just looking for a "quick fix" for your Broadway craving, this is a great value.

5 out of 5 stars Fair Album with 1 starlight and 0 aspects.......2004-07-09

I think this album is F-A-I-R because it has one starlight express song and zero aspects of love songs. This is why i liked the album The reason i said that this is a fair album is that I like Starlight Express better. Song i like are "The Phantom of the Opera", "Take That Look off Your Face", All I Ask of You", "Don't Cry For Me Argentina", "Mr. Mistofflees," "Superstar," "Memory", "Starlight Express", "Tell Me On A Sunday", "Music of the Night", "Another Suitcase in Another Hall", and "I Don't Know How To Love Him". I dislike the following songs:" Track 6" and the last one because the last one was hard to understand and track 6 is instrumental.

5 out of 5 stars Superb collection.......2003-08-11

... It is a collection of the best of ALW's creative efforts, and a collection of great performances. Anyone who loves "Broadway" should have this disk in their collection.

5 out of 5 stars THE MOST BEAUTIFUL FILM PIANO MUSIC.......2007-04-11

MOST OF THE FILMS FOR WHICH THESE PIANO PIECES WERE WRITTEN ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE, SO WE ARE LUCKY TO HAVE THIS WONDERFUL RECORDING. FORGET ABOUT MORE EXPENSIVE VERSIONS. THIS IS THE BEST INTERPRETATION OF THE WARSAW CONCERTO ON THE MARKET!

3 out of 5 stars Warsaw Concerto.......2005-10-09

The version of the toon was not what I expected. I wanted more the "popular" version.

5 out of 5 stars Classic Movie Pieces.......2003-10-04

I am a pinaist, and several of thses pieces find themselve in my repertoire, and by hearing them on this cd, one is able to truly appreciate the composition and performance of these songs, which are not very popular nowadays. A great collection that I highly recommend to all musicians and music lovers.

5 out of 5 stars Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful.......2003-02-07

If you like light works for piano and orchestra, this is the BEST I have heard. With the popularity of movie themes in this genre, this CD will not disappoint you. There are some great undiscovered gems on this CD. Every pianist should have this to 'expand their horizons'. Simply the best!

5 out of 5 stars Gorgeous soundtrack.......2006-07-17

Though the movie is from the 20th Century, the soundtrack is modern synthesized with lush orchestration. Stands on its own in the 21st C.

5 out of 5 stars Giorgio the Great.......2006-04-13

I got this on LP then on cassette tape and finally on cd. I'll keep all of them. Giorgio has his own style of music scoring very passionate and powerful. When I saw the movie in the 70's not only the movie was so intense but the music as well. Of course the "chase" really stands out. This cd is a rare but gem one of the best soundtrack ever made. The movie and music match.

4 out of 5 stars 'Chase' is worth the price of admission.......2005-11-02

And it's not even the version used in the film (actually only 2 or so minutes of the theme is used). But it's the best Turkish Prison Trance-Disco you'll ever hear!

Years later, Giorgio's heavy-synth treatments on "Love Theme" feel leaden, and I guess that's his ex-girlfriend singing on the final cut, which you can just program into oblivion. Giorgio, in my humble opinion, crafted the Donna Summer brand of electro-disco from having lived in germany alonsgide those techogeniuses Kraftwerk in the early 70s--and we got "Love to Love You Baby" and "Spring Affair" - which were great! A lot of filler on this commercialized disc from Casablanca, who were hawking disco at the time as if it were meth (oops, guess it was).

Chase is classic, though. Too bad not enough discotheques in the US played it. May have saved the genre from being turned into ubiquitous 'dance music.'

R.I.P. Brad Davis.

4 out of 5 stars Disco album to Turkish prison classic.......2005-07-25

Yes, as has been mentioned, this is not the same music you hear in the film, but slightly different arrangements desiged to be sold as an album. Like Cat People, the disc has some gems that differ greatly from the originals but still make it worthwhile.

Don't know why they don't release more music, but what's here is a must for the Moroder fan. Chase is the main draw, absolutely genius tune that was somehow written into a film about a guy being beaten in a Turkish prison.

Chase is still remixed today, that disco-Kraftwerk feel, the trance-like rhythm, the masterfully cheesy keyboards. Moroder was on top of his game for the next few years, cranking up his drum machine and using the fattest synths.

Far more uplifting than the film, it's the best ever soundtrack to a story about life in a Turkish prison, complete with random beatings, madness, and much more than the viewer would care to know.

3 out of 5 stars It is 100% correct - this is NOT the music used in the film.......2004-11-30

the music from the soundrack AS USED IN the film is far, far more atmospheric and interesting, but sadly this film came out during the height of the disco boom '78 and the soundtrack released by (Casablanca? who were at the forefront of the disco roadshow) reflected the way they thought the record would sell. Giorgio Moroder won the Oscar for his score on this film but the version on the CD is a remixed and revamped version meant for the clubs rather than a true representation of the music contained in the film - It would probably be financially ridiculous, but wouldnt it be great if there was to be a release of the music as used in the film rater than the fangled remixed version............

4 out of 5 stars Enjoy the dark music........2007-06-27

I was always a big fan of Bauhaus, and Love and Rockets is very reminicent of Bauhaus, but not quite so dark. The tunes are a little more up tempo and well worth the investment.

5 out of 5 stars at last, the good version of Ball of Confusion!.......2006-12-30

While different in terms of song order compared to the original US version of this CD, the real bonus here is the US mix of "Ball of Confusion". It is the version that used to be played in clubs, and is basically the definitive version of the song. The 7 minute version on the original US CD was basically the SHORT version of the song which is then looped in an instrumental take. IT was very annoying. this 6 minute US version is actually the EXTENDED version, so it flows so much better.

The real challenge is getting used to the song order for owners of the original CD---but that's the glory of programming.

4 out of 5 stars overlooked alt album.......2005-10-22

Who makes music like these guys. Makes you go back to the good days. love it

5 out of 5 stars I Bought it Three Times.......2005-04-18

I had this on vinyl, then on cassette, and I just recently got it on CD. It's one of those albums that never gets old to listen to. "Love Me" is very catchy and ethereal, very Daniel Ash. The bonus track of "Holiday on the Moon" ends up stuck in my head for days. And I must say that there's not much if anything bad to say at all about this album. It has a very classic Love and Rockets sound, before they got more influenced by techno (as in Lift). Although it was recorded in the Eighties, the sound was way before its time, and could very well pass for something done closer to the millennium. Definitely something you won't be disappointed in.

4 out of 5 stars One of the 3 best albums of the 1980s.......2004-08-21

This overlooked gem is one of the all time classic rock albums. On par with the Beatles' White Album, The Clash's London Calling & better than Pink Floyd's Dark Side... I bought the LP when it came out in the US & wore it out. It was one of the first CD's I bought, when I got my 1st CD player, & I scratched it up quite a bit. So I had to buy this remaster too even though I already had the original US CD. Well, I have mixed feelings about this re-issue. It takes the original UK LP & adds the alternative & 12" tracks as bonuses, whereas the original US CD substituted some of the tracks w/ the 12" versions & threw in some b-sides for good measure. For me, the original US CD version is better organized. The selected tracks & their organization feels much more like a cohesive whole (a la DSOTM) than did the UK LP. Angels & Devils was a great opener, but its placement on this version seems to bog things down...and "An American Dream" is the perfect closing song. So this version feels very disjointed, despite the fact that it's nice to have the additional tracks (though most of these are not essential).

4 out of 5 stars Essential funk history.......2007-06-25

Everybody knows the perennial, oft-sampled "Express Yourself." And almost everybody knows "Love Land." But Charles Wright, heading up the original funk jam band, released a whole lot more music that's worth owning. The up-tempo "One Lie (Leads to Another)" is an incredible jazzy funk workout. The anguished ballad "Tell Me What You Want Me to Do" is late 60s/early 70s soul at its most, well, souful.

This is a must for funk historians. You want old school? Try listening to the man who built the building.

5 out of 5 stars Express Yourself.......2007-01-29

That is what this CD is all about...expression. Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Rhytymn do not get their just deserve and they are fantastic. One of the best R&B/Soul/Funk bands of the 70's. Thank you to the band for their contribution to my cd collection.

5 out of 5 stars DEFINITELY A MUST HAVE, MAN!!!!!.......2007-01-25

look here, i knew that there was more to this band than EXPRESS YOURSELF. this cd more than satisfied that. everything on here bumps. i can do without the slow stuff, but overall, mr. wright and company DID THEY THANG!!!!! UHHHHH!!!! i love charles' voice; especially on YOUR LOVE (MEANS EVERYTHING TO ME). that stands out because it sounds like his voice was all shot and he still found something in it to deliver. if you like true blue funkiness, then get this. it is cats and bands like this that never get played on the radio, which sucks, that really bring that sausage gravy vibe. you will understand that latter once you cop this or download it.

5 out of 5 stars Essential soul.......2005-02-05

This is it, the music that set the stage for Parliament, the Bar-Kays, and all the other funk and groove bands that broke out in the 70s. If you've ever heard God on the One, thank James Brown, Funkadelic, Herbie Hancock, and these guys.

From 1967 until 1973, Charles Wright and the Watts 103rd Street Rhythm Band made socially conscious, dangerously infectious music that would provide inspiration for future generations of soul bands and DJs. This compilation starts out with the still-fresh "Express Yourself", weaves through a litany of hooks, riffs and beats, and slows down only for a couple of tasteful ballads. Despite the fact that I've memorized nearly every track, this CD still finds its way into the player often, and certainly ranks as one of my all-time favorite albums.

5 out of 5 stars non-stop groove-a-thon.......2003-04-09

Highest recommendation. If you are a fan of of soul and the history of funk, then you have to go back to a source like Charles Wright. This album is sequenced nicely and hangs together perfectly, despite the tracks being from different eras (and different bands) in Wright's career. The title track alone makes this CD worth purchasing, with "Express Yourself" being one of those rare tunes that can hold up to repetition ad nauseum (it's been in Burger King commercials, et al) and I have to say, it's still a foot tapper every time those opening notes hit my speakers. The rest of the album alternates between lulling you with it's hypnotic grooves (In the Jungle), giving you a soul power work out (65 Bars...) and straight ahead clipped guitar pre-funk (90 Day Cycle People) making this one of those greatest hits CD's you don't just buy for one song, with the rest filler. Give it a try for a dash o' soul.
