The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra needs a guitar player!.......2006-11-09

Granted, they only need it for one composition (the last one, "The James Bond Theme") but still, without the guitar it's just not the same. Barry didn't compose this one so I suppose it was a bonus and I shouldn't complain, really. The rest of the music on all the CDs is fantastic. Some of the stuff I had heard before without realizing who had composed it. Very enjoyable, to say the least.

Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

Buy it for the Persuaders theme, probably the best TV theme song ever written.

A Variety Of Classics!.......2005-12-06

John Barry has been composing film scores for over forty years and this is only scratching the surface of his productions. Never mind that the entire set is recorded by the Prague Philharmonic; it's pure to Barry's themes. While John Williams compositions ("Star Wars", etc.) are wild and flamboyant and Jerry Goldsmith's (Hoosier's, etc.) are mood pieces, John Barry crosses over all barriers and is amazingly diverse. Barry has recorded most of the exciting James Bond themes, melodramatic classics like "The Lion In Winter' and moody theme hits like "Midnight Cowboy". He also tugs at the heartstrings with compositions from, "Somewhere In Time", "Frances" and "Out Of Africa". He varies his themes for all types of films and few composers capture it so well.

There is over four hours of music in this set with a colorful and informative booklet.

Incredible Barry Collection.......2004-03-11

Any fan of movies will absolutley love this collection. Being a movie buff I couldn't wait to get this boxed set. Knowing Barry from all the James Bond movies, I did not realize his involvement with so many others. The orchestra is magnificent in all these themes. I'm listening to "High Road to China" right now and I'm drifting in the clouds in a Tiger Moth with Tom Selleck and Bess Armstrong. If you are familiar with a movie it will definitely have you seeing it again, if not the scores are still beautiful. Any fan of classical music will be pleased as well. Travellers will defintitely enjoy it for a long drive. I know from when I use to travel that music like this made the miles float by faster. I highly recommend these four CDs even if you just know a handful of the songs.

" one of cinema's greatest composers...John Barry".......2001-07-06

This collection of four compact discs...are worth their weight in GOLD! Barry creates visual moods for each film he scores...romantic, sentimental, action, adventure, suspense and mystery...the list could go on. Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring...we have ~ "John Barry:The Collection", Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philarmonic Orchestra" ~ conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (outstanding)..."Crouch End Festival Chorus" ~ David Temple, Choir Master...perform 56 selections, over four hours of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em!

Must ask the following to take a bow ~ James Fitzpatrick (compilation producer), always in their pitching, Reynold da Silva (executive producer), Nic Raine (conductor, arranger, orchestrator & associate producer), a tremen!dous asset to every project he undertakes...and the man who made it all possible...a legendary icon always leading the way in film scoring ~ JOHN BARRY!

Great CD, Horrible Picks..........2006-04-29

This is a great movie with a GREAT soundtrack, and THE ABSOLUTE BEST let me say it again BEST TRACKS ARE LEFT OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Shootout In Stacy's House, the part where Zorin picks up stacy and bond grabs on to the rope and goes for a ride over San Fransisco are just two examples of the great pieces. My advice...WAIT...yes...wait for the RE-REMASTERED version to come out(if they make one which I bet they will). If you are impatient then try to get one REALLY CHEAP.

Good, but missing important parts.......2005-10-21

In "A View to a Kill," Barry is in fine form, including many instances of the exciting themes we associate with 007 movies. To me, the highlight of the movie was tracks where Barry mixes traditional Bond thematic elements with tunes based upon the Duran Duran theme (such as the Wine with Stacy cut). However, the album to me and others is rather disappointing, as it is missing important parts of the score. Others have mentioned Bond's arrival at Zorin's estate, Stacey's arrvial, the Fanfare, and Bond dangling from the Zorin Airship. Personally, I was looking for the music from the State Office Building rooftop scene is my favorite cut from the movie, the main reason I bought the album, but that is also missing from the Soundtrack CD. I imagine if Capitol Records ever comes out with a more complete soundtrack album from this movie, there'd be a high demand for it from fans like myself, but don't hold your breath.

Great album...but it's missing a few pieces.......2005-09-29

A View to a Kill is a great score from the legendary John Barry, who has done pretty much all of the James Bond films up until 1989. I wish he'd come back and do the score to the next James Bond film. A few pieces of music are missing though from the movie, such as when Bond is attacked in Siberia and escapes but they never finish the music. Another piece missing is where Bond and Tibbett arrive at the Zorin's chateau in France. I think the most important piece that's missing is when Stacy gets taken by Zorin for a ride in the blimp and Bond hangs on to the rope going to the Golden Gate Bridge. The music that leads to the climax is always important! The best part of the album is that the music is very much James Bond and incorporates, at the time, a more modern theme to the music. Duran Duran's song is still awesome to this day and can still hold a candle to any crappy song out there today! Overall, a great job well done!

Great entry in the Bond scores...still mssing great tracks.......2003-05-13

While this score is one of Barry's greaat masterpieces, and is now even better remastered, it is still missing crucial tracks, like Bond's arrival at Zorin's estate, Stacey's arrvial, the Fanfare, and Bond dangling from the Zorin Airship. I hope in the near future, the albums will be released again with the missing tracks.

Wonderfully mastered, and one of Barry's Best Bond Scores.......2003-03-10

John Barry has written some of the most beautiful and memorable film music ever composed. He is most noted, however, for his work on the James Bond movies. Other composers have succeeded him, but none have duplicated the magic that he brings to the Bond films. Along with "On Her Majesty's Secret Service," this album is a seminal example of his work; it features some of the most exciting music written for the Bond films. The moment I heard the themes in the movie, I committed myself to finding the soundtrack on CD. I am disappointed that the score is not extended, but the included tracks do very well in representing the overall themes in the film. In addition, the remastered edition makes much better use of the surround channels. The Japanese import focused too much on the center channel. The new mix spreads the orchestra to the left and right, providing the effect of a much fuller sound. The sound is even detailed more. I took a chance and bought this soundtrack a second time in the hopes that the sound quality was improved. It is an understatement to say that I was not disappointed.

Pretty good within the span of time allotted.......2001-11-08

It is disappointing that there are no "License to Kill" or "Live and Let Die" cues in this CD. Some of the remaining cues, such as from "For Your Eyes Only" and "A View to a Kill" are unfortunately brief.

On the other hand, the producers _did_ try to condense almost 20 years of music onto a single CD. Compare this to the first collection, which encapsulated about 10 years of music - obviously much more time to devote to each individual film. Ah, if only they could've done, say, a Roger Moore CD and then a Dalton/Brosnan CD. In any case, I didn't really miss "License to Kill" all that much - while it works great on film, Kamen's score here seems a bit too sparse and incidental (bordering on meandering) to really produce enjoyable standalone pieces. ("Brazil" or "Die Hard", on the other hand...)

That said, this is a rather fine collection. What's particularly interesting are the breaks from Barry's scores - the lavish string arrangements for Conti's "For Your Eyes Only" (if only they added the disco cues, but again see above comments) and Hamlisch's jet-setty "Ride to Atlantis" provide an interesting contrast from the string pads and brass fanfare that dominate the remainder of the CD. John Altman's "GoldenEye" contribution is a refreshing interpretation of the original Bond theme.

I happen to have the Rykodisc version of "The Living Daylights", so there's nothing new here for my favorite score of the Bond films. Seems also like they set the drum machine a little too fast for "Hercules Take Off"....

How shall I try to put this...........2001-07-13

I thoroughly enjoyed the first 'Bond Back In Action', and I really tried to like this. While it has it's high's (like the 'TLD' and 'GE' parts, as well as 'TSWLM' and 'FYEO'), it had it's terrible, crash and burn, lows, such as: what ever happened to 'LALD'?? What, did it suddenly get lost? And doing music from 'TMWTGG'? That was some of the corniest music (Chinese overtones? I know we're supposed to be in the Far East and all, but please spare me).

One of the very first things I noticed when I got the CD: the packaging was very poor and just done very badly (like a trained monkey had put the thing together), and, in addition, the front cover of the case had a big 2-inch crack in it.

Sadly put: this CD could've been better. Lots better.

Decent, not outstanding..........2001-02-11

I wish I could say I love this album, but it doesn't compare to Bond Back in Action 1. It seems like a lot of stuff was left out and some songs don't sound like the originals. Not that this album is bad, its just not impressive. After the first one, I was expecting more. But for Bond fans, what's included is good and is worth listening to.

Perhaps Not a "Must" But Still Good.......2001-01-12

This the third anthology of James Bond film music done by Nic Raine and The City of Prague Philharmonic. The interpretations and performances for this recording are perhaps the best of the three. But as with any review of earlier film scores, there are ups and downs here. The good news is that there are several positives with this recording, including the performances and interpretations. Several of the sutites are quite enjoyable, especially "The Man with the Golden Gun," "Moonraker," and "A View to a Kill." Bravo, as well, to the "new music" from "Golden Gun," "Moonraker," and "Living Daylights." The best cut is "Fanfare" from "The Living Daylights," and this is no surprise, since Raine worked with John Barry on the original soundtrack. The down side includes music still missing: a full pre-credit suite from "Moonraker" and "Octopussy," and the "Welcome to India" flourish or fanfare from "Octopussy." Oddly, the best pieces are all by Barry, and the least impressive are the non-Barry inclusions which still fail to excite despite a noble effort by Raine. The music from "Goldeneye" remains a problem, there is no way around this reality. The packaging is disappointing, but adequate. Overall, however, this is still a very worthy effort and worth the price.

"007 Films Scores by Nic Raine & City of Prague Gang".......2000-12-14

Silva Screen presents a follow-up to their previous releases of the most famous "Secret Agent" ever to grace the big screen - "The names Bond, James Bond!". Our bigger than life hero has appeared in many forms - Sean Connery, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, Pierce Brosnan - all capable actors with an aire of complete confidence in saving the world.

To assist our hero are various film score composers - John Barry, Bill Conti, Marvin Hamilsch, Eric Serra and Monty Norman, all have attained immortality and classic status in film scoring. Monty Norman had done the famous James Bond Theme of sorts, but John Barry gave it the polish with a new arrangement, a guitar, different accompaniments and so forth...now recognized world wide as the most popular theme ever.

Nic Raine who was fortunate to work with composers - Elmer Bernstein, Maurice Jarre, George Fenton, Gerald Gouriet and Stanley Myers...but was passionate when he orchestrated two James Bond scores for John Barry - "A View To A Kill" and "The Living Daylights" and conducted both Silva Screen's release "THE CLASSIC JOHN BARRY" and "THE ESSENTIAL JAMES BOND" with The City of Prague Philharmonic.

This latest album "BOND BACK IN ACTION 2", with a faithful and outstanding interpretation in the form of suites which incorporate some of the best "action" cues - some material that hadn't been available before. Nic Raine adapted and changed the material where necessary for the demands of a 75-piece orchestra. This is a "must have" for "film-score-buffs" and "movie-music" collectors!

The James Bond Theme (Symphonic Version)

Amazon.com

The exploits of Ian Fleming's British super-agent James Bond have long since become the longest running film series in history, spanning 40 years and counting. Not the least of the cycle's charm has been its music, a body of work that encompasses pop clichés (the twangy guitar of Monty Norman's original "James Bond Theme") and elegant underscores alike. While this collection spans music from Dr. No to The World Is Not Enough, decades of various legal entanglements prevented it from becoming the ultimate Bond music anthology. This is more a credible simulation, a newly recorded collection of cues and suites (including music previously unreleased on the original soundtracks) performed by Nic Raine and the City of Prague Symphony Orchestra. With John Barry's lush, ever-evocative scores both forming the core and setting the tone (but also featuring the work of George Martin, David Arnold, Michael Kamen, Bill Conti, and Eric Serra), it's the most comprehensive--if not exactly authentic--collection of Bond music yet attempted. --Jerry McCulley

Customer Reviews:

almost the perfect James Bond collection.......2005-07-20

this 4 CD box has most of the familiar James Bond compositions.

Still,some tunes are missing(from for instance Thunderball and For Your Eyes Only)and most of the time the attention is on the instrumental version of the title track which is a bit of a shame.And yet,there are too many great pieces on this collection to make it a failure.Alpine Drive,Dawn Raid at Fort Knox,On Her Majesty's Secret Service(every track),Miss Goodhead and so on.All great pieces that not only show the great talent of John Barry but also the great power of James Bond films.Cause when you hear the music,you see the scenes in front of you.

Very much a recommendation to all Bond and Barry fans although sometimes it focusses too much on title songs.The only solution is to buy all separate soundtracks.

Good Collection.......2005-02-24

Very nice packaging and good tracks from the Bond music library make this an anoutstanding item. "From Russia With Love" and "Diamonds Are Forever" contain beautiful and energetic renditions. The John Barry music is handled quite well. I didn't real care for the David Arnold selections. "The World Is Not Enough" was weak. Overall it is a good collection just the same.

Not excatly what I expected.......2003-04-10

I when I read some of the reviews of this I thought that this was a complete collection of all the originals of the Theme songs of every James Bond movie and remakes done by the Prague Philharmonic of some of the other songs in the various movies. After recieveing this ... I started to listen to it and found out that it was all done by the orchestra. The are very good, but to a point it is not the same thing as owning a disc will all the orignal songs on it. Overall, this good if all the you want is the orchestral versions of most of the songs in the movies or the suites out of some of the movies. To a point these don't compare to the orignals. Keep looking if you want a set with all the orignals songs in it.

The James Bond CD for the John Barry purist?.......2003-01-28

Let's cut to the chase. Nic Raine and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra do John Barry's work justice. 90% of this collection is as close as you can get to the original James Bond soundtracks. The other 10% lends itself to some artistic license with respect to the arrangements. Most notable is the main theme to Goldfinger. Also Nic slips in a few previously unreleased tracks. You will find these on the On Her Majesty's Secret Service and Golden Eye tracks. This CD boxed set is definitely made for the Bond soundtrack fan. The die hard John Barry "purist"/ traditionalist may find some of these tracks questionable at first, but after a few times Nic Raine's artistic license gives a fresh perspective to the familiar Bond/ Barry themes. The only reservation I have with this CD set is with some of selections that are performed. For instance, from Goldfinger, "Dawn Raid At Fort Knox" was a poor selection considering the selection available on that particular soundtrack. The most famous 007 soundtrack of all I dare say. Overall Nic hits the mark, and this CD set is a tribute to Barry's (as well as, George Martin's, Marvin Hamlish's, and Bill Conti's and David Arnold's) work. It's all here in one collection. I am a die-hard Bond soundtrack fan, and to the casual soundtrack fan I say this CD is set all you need to experience the Bond music legacy. To those who are hard core 007 soundtrack fans ...this is a FANTASTIC "addition" to your collection. This has to be the BEST (and probably the only) 007 "soundtrack" compilation. Whereas all the others feature the "main themes" from the Bond films as originally recorded, this one truly gives you the Bond experience.

Very enjoyable with most of the BOND music you'd want........2002-12-08

This is similar but more comprehensive than another BOND collection on one CD by the City of Prague Philharmonic. These are good renditions but clearly not the orginals. I must ask if the Prague Philharmonic does not own a harp? It is glaringly missing in the Goldfinger themes and i am sure on others. That harp is an exciting and beautiful touch to the wonderful GOLDFINGER theme and its absents is unfortuneatly very noticeable. Also some of the other themes can even sound muzaky if thats a word(elevator music)
It gets 3 solid stars good collection yet defineatly something is lacking.

Amazon.com essential recording

Purcell fans will delight in this collection of 30 of his 85 secular songs. Barbara Bonney, singing with ease and controlled fervor, steals the recording with her endearing sound and impeccable musicianship. Soprano Susan Gritton brings a more dramatic perspective, singing with zest and a little edge that almost, but never quite, grates. Sometimes, however, she vibrates mildly out of control. Tenors Charles Daniels and Roger Covey-Crump sing with grace, joviality, and tenderness, but both are a little shallow throughout the bottom. Countertenor James Bowman occasionally stumbles with intonation, but always lands standing upright. This buffet of various voices captivates the listener's attention span, totally avoiding potential monotony. --Barbara Eisner Bayer

Purcell stole my heart.......2001-02-08

Alas, with the help of phenomenally expressive singers on this CD, Purcell has stolen my heart. I listened to this CD a few times then immediately emptied my pocketbook to the nearest consort putting on a Purcell concert. Such poverty is love.

Product Description

While most "ACTION THEME" releases focus on either movies or TV, this one features the best of them both! It was performed by the Allen Toussaint Orchestra and they did an amazing job with these songs. It was released way back in 1991 and has become almost IMPOSSIBLE to find! You definitely won't be disappointed in this CD if you are a fan of soundtrack music. Just read the TRACK LISTING and you'll agree that this is one of the best compilations out there today!
