5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars Persuaders Theme!.......2006-03-02

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

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars 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.

5 out of 5 stars " 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!

Total Time: 258:76 on 56 Tracks ~ SSD-1128 ~ (2001)

You might try other albums from Silva Screen, all worthy of a good listen ~ "The Essential James Bond" (SSD-1034)..."Bond:Back In Action" (SSD-1100)..."Bond:Back In Action 2" (SSD-1119)..."Zulu" (SSD-1095)..."Raise The Titanic" (SSD-1102)..."Walkabout" (SSD-1120)...check out my reviews on amazon.com/music.

5 out of 5 stars "top film scores of the 1960's ~ Percy Faith".......2004-02-18

If you are a collector of Percy Faith, you must run out to your local music store and pick this one up ~ "Plays The Academy Award Winner Born Free and Other Great Movie Themes" (originally released on Columbia Records CS 9450 in 1967) and "Windmills of Your Mind" (originally released on Columbia Records CS 9835 in 1969) ~ following the formula of previous Columbia Records releases featuring Faith's classic style of sweeping strings and haunting arrangements, they've come up with two more winners.

Master of arranging, Faith's formula is so natural in keeping the arrangements fresh and new with his distinctive style ~ his tasteful treatment always highlights the quality of the composition ~ ultimately making them a hit all over again. Remember the days when you could turn on the radio and hear Percy Faith with many familiar pop standards ~ when you put this compact disc on your player, get ready for the "Percy Faith Touch" sprinkled with pure magic over the orchestration and leaves you simply in that unforgettable mood.

Top performances inclusive for the twenty two tracks of film score themes ~ "A MAN AND A WOMAN" (Barouh/Lai), "A TIME FOR LOVE" (Webster/Mandel), "ALFIE"(David/Bacharach), "AS LONG AS HE NEEDS ME" (Lionel Bart), "BORN FREE"(John Barry), "CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG" (Richard M. Sherman/Robert B. Sherman), "ELVIRA'S THEME" (Percy Faith), "FOR LOVE OF IVY" (Russell/Quincy Jones), "THEME FROM "THE FOX" (Lalo Schlfrin), "FUNNY GIRL" (Merrill/Styne), "GEORGY GIRL"(Dale/Springfield), "THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER" (Peggy Lee/David Grusin), "HOW ARE THINGS IN GLOCCA MORRA?"(Harburg/Lane), "THE LION IN THE WINTER"(John Barry), "SONG FROM "THE OSCAR" (Evans/Livingston/Percy Faith), "THEME FROM "THE SAND PEPPLES" (Bricusse/Goldsmith), "SOMEWHERE MY LOVE(Lara's Theme from "Dr. Zhivago")"(Webster/Jarre), "STAR" (Cahn/Van Heusen), "THIS IS MY SONG" (Charles Chaplin), "THIS HOTEL" (Keating/Quine), "THE WINDMILLS OF YOUR MIND" and "THE WISHING DOLL" (David/Bernstein) ~ notice two of the selections were composed by the man himself Percy Faith! Impressive line up of top movie songs that will surely satisfy the appetite of all "film-score-buffs" and Percy Faith fans...gotta love it!

Total Time: 63:41 on 22 Tracks ~ Collectables 7428 ~ (2/19/2002)

5 out of 5 stars Born Free/Windmills of your mind.......2002-03-02

Another perfect reissiue by collectibles music,This album contains themes from movies.Most of these songs have been unavailable by Faith since Lps went out.This album contains such songs as somewhere my love, this hotel,And we were lovers,This is my song,Alfie,How are things in Glacca Morra and many more.All of these songs are beautifully done Faith style.The album empasizes just his orchestra.Their's no chrous here.The original liner notes to born free are included in the bookelet as well as pictures of Faith probebly from born free under the clear cd holder.The liner notes to Windmills of your mind are not included.If your a collector of Percy Faith's music you have to get this cd since many of these songs are on cd for the first time.

5 out of 5 stars Bond and beyond on an excellent career retrospective........1998-08-25

Imitation is often considered the greatest form of flattery. John Barry's oeuvre has been sampled by dozens of contemporary musical artists, and he is often credited as being the godfather of "trip hop" (check recent albums by Portishead and Mono to hear the Barry influence). The Academy-award winning composer has been producing music for over forty years, but this collection focuses on the artist's most commercially successful period, the 1960's. The instantly recognizable and inimitable Barry style is well documented throughout 23 varied compositions. Selections range from classic to obscure, and include all the title tracks from the early James Bond soundtracks. Barry's film and television music is the defining sound of that era - lush orchestrations, cool jazzy riffs, pure excitement. "Themeology" is an excellent starting point for the novice collector and equally attractive for the long-time admirer.

5 out of 5 stars Andy Williams at his very best.......2007-01-02

The two albums on this CD represent some of the very best mid-60's recordings by Andy Williams. Although most of the songs are covers of songs that were popular at the time, the arrangements have withstood the passing of years without sounding even slightly dated. Andy always had a way of making a familiar song sound fresh and new (actually he still does). "Born Free" contained the hit single "Music To Watch Girls By" as well as the title hit. "Love, Andy" contained the easy listening hit "Holly" and a mind blowing cover of the Beach Boys' "God Only Knows" that was never released as a single, but should have been.

The two albums were released at opposite ends of 1967, but the overall quality flows so well between the two that they could have been recorded at the same time. Andy's voice never falters or sounds strained in any way. The music just seems to flow effortlessly from him, which probably means that he put a tremendous amount of effort into his singing.

Andy Williams recorded many recordings that may be better know than what is contained here, but this cd will bring a smile to your face from the first song to the last. Grab it while you can, you won't be sorry.

5 out of 5 stars Classic and tuneful.......2006-07-18

Working with a new producer in Nick De Caro, Andy hit a creative peak. Nick De Caro was both producer and primary arranger on both these albums and was a perfect match for the wondrous voice of Andy Williams. Contemporary, yet classic insrumentation. Using what must have been the creme of LA musicians, Andy creates a mood that fits him to a "t". You can't go wrong with writers like Burt Bacharach, Hal David, John Barry, Leslie Bricusse, Michel Legrand, Brian Wilson, Maurice Jarre. I appreciate that Lincoln Mayorga was given just credit for soloing on God Only Knows on the vinyl version.

5 out of 5 stars A double deal!.......2006-02-23

Two non-compilation albums on one compact disc is an awesome double deal. Many great covers are on this disc such as Bobby Hebb's SUNNY,GOD ONLY KNOWS made famous by the Beach Boys,WHAT NOW MY LOVE,SOMEWHERE MY LOVE by Maurice Jarre,to name a few. These Columbia Records releases were originally available in both mono and stereo. Personally,I could never tell the difference.

5 out of 5 stars Quality and very good value release - fine songs well sung .......2005-10-29

Andy gets a lot of bad press because he didn't seem too cool with all the groundbreaking rock and pop music going on around him back in the 60's .

Never mind all that . On these albums , he tackles a few different styles and 'Music to Watch Girls By' has a distorted guitar on it , which was probably a slightly risky thing for him to do . I had not heard some of the fine songs before but had heard of them . Andy does not disgrace himself .

I like Jimi Hendrix too - remember , it's all music and everything we listen to helps form our tastes.
This is the sound of Andy getting a bit of musical credibility , to my ears anyway .

Purchasing this will put a smile on your face - if you're having a 60's party , this would be a great soundtrack .
If you're not having the party , it will still make a good solid addition to your groovy collection .

5 out of 5 stars Creme de la creme.......2005-08-24

The best of Andy Williams - it covers all our old favorites and adds a couple of other famous singers' hits (in fact, Andy sings the songs better than the original artist). He has the most lovely, soothing, and lilting voice and is by far my favorite of that time period. Brilliant altogether!

Album Description

Something of a perfectionist, Sonique has spent the past two years maintaining a fast-paced global deejay schedule entertaining crowds in Romania, Egypt, Israel, Russia & South Africa whilst also creating a second album of the highest caliber. Keen to maintain a degree of consistency to her music, whilst simultaneously delivering a fresh sound, Sonique enlisted the expertise of producers Graham Pleeth (Peter Gabriel & Appleton), & Robin Barter (Kylie Minogue & Freddie Mercury), who also worked on 'Hear My Cry'. Each song on the album contains powerful & emotive lyrics inspired by Sonique's own life experiences, showcasing her trademark sounds, whilst demonstrating an unmistakable development in her music. 'Hold Me Now' is Sonique's own reaction to September 11th - having endured personal loss herself three years ago, Sonique can relate to those who were bereaved as a result of the attack &

5 out of 5 stars Born to be free... of being noticed :'(.......2006-07-26

This album completely missed the UK album charts, which is unbelievable. Sonique is my favorite singer, and if you get this album, she'll become yours too! Maybe, because so many people were turned off after they bought her first album. I thought her first was good, but alot of people just hated the other album tracks besides the singles.
This album only spawned 2 singles, because Universal Records is stupid and dropped her before releasing a third single, because the sales weren't good. Gee, maybe they would have been if more time was spent on promoting the album?
Anyway, not only are the sinlges on the album great and underrated, but the whole album is! My rule of thumb is that an album shouldn't be released without 5 really good songs, so that at least some songs have single potential. This album definately passes that test. Anyway, here's each song, in detail:

Alive: The album's second single, which didn't do nearly as well as it should have. Arguably the best song on the album, one of my favorite songs of all time, a better question is who doesn't like this song. It starts off with a really cool intro, and the bridge and chorus will have you listening to the song a million times! Something great to dance to! 9/10

Hold Me Now: Sonique's reaction to September 11th, and she wasn't even in the States, which shows she cares about what's going on in the world. My favorite song on the album. One word to describe it is beautiful. The song has a dance beat and tempo, yet it's a really moving song. A song with both of those qualities is hard to find. And the string section in the song... it's just a great song, trust me. The only "flaw" if you call it, is that it's a sad song that, even though it is upbeat, it may make you depressed, and is not the perfect song to lift you up. Sometimes I even cry when I listen to this. None the less, 10/10

Can't Make Up My Mind: The first single released from the album, and a good one at that. I really like the lyrics, and it's another good song to dance to. A great mid-uptempo track! 8/10

Magic: This song is what the title says. Another mid-uptempo one, and it makes you feel good. I like the lyrics to this one, too. 8/10

Love Washes Away: This song sounds different than any of the other songs, or any song I've heard. There are some nice strings in this song too, and a cool intro. It sounds kinda weird though at first but I like it. There are choir voices in the background, which adds a nice touch. 7/10

Will You Want Me: Sonique's specialty, which is remix-like songs. This song samples the club track Amphetamine. It'd go down great at clubs, but if I'm just chilling, maybe not the song I'd sit and listen to. Great to dance to though. 6/10

Freefalling: Sonique's mom's favorite song on the album. Sort of like a mid-tempo ballad. Not something I listen to everyday, but still a good song. 6/10

Right Here You An' I: Another song similar to Will You Want Me, only I seem to like this one better. It's more fast-paced, but I seem to sing along with the lyrics. This is great for dancing and clbus too. 7/10

Seriously: The intro makes the song seem weird, but it turns out to be a more mellow RnB type song. The chorus is kinda catchy, and it's different enough. 6/10

You're The Reason: I do tend to skip some of the songs on the middle of the album, but now we get to the good stuff again. A nice dance track with a hint of reggae to it, Sonique's favorite on the album. I love the chorus, and this song makes me happy. 8/10

Born To Be Free: It starts off with an awesome keyboard intro, but gets faster. I think this should have been the next single. Really upbeat. Another great one for dancing. And the lyrics describe what the title says. 9/10

Please: Some people have said they don't like this one, but I, for some reason, do and must give it atleast a 7. Not exactly a ballad, but not fact paced or uptempo, I find it very catchy and I love listening to it, and singing to the chorus. 7/10

I'm Gonna Love You: A great upbeat dance track that really makes you hapy! 7/10

The album also includes a remix of Can't Make Up My Mind.

5 out of 5 stars Sophomore Satisfaction.......2004-03-11

In the year 2000 Sonique (an acclaimed DJ, athlete and singer) brought us "It Feels So Good," her breakout hit, which was one of the best singles of that year. It was one of several stellar tracks from her somewhat uneven debut album. Her long-awaited followup is a much more cohesive affair then her debut. "Born To Be Free" on the whole is a bit of a grower, and probably doesn't contain stellar singles of the same magnitude, but ultimately works better as an album. Some of the best songs include "Alive" the second single (which would have probably been better as the first), "Can't Make Up My Mind" (the actual first single), "You're The Reason," the title track and "Will You Want Me" (which should have been a single). The producers on the album include Graeme Pleeth and Robin Barter, who worked on her last album, along with Drum n' Bass producer Roni Size on "Right Here You An' I," recently defunct duo Thunderpuss on "Love Washes Away" (which was one of their last production jobs), and Chris Cox (one half of Thunderpuss) on "Magic," which was written by Sonique and Rob Davis of Mud (these days, a hired gun who also co-wrote Kylie Minogue's "Can't Get You Out Of My Head with Cathy Dennis), as well as FAF on the title track, Richie Jones and Eric Kupper on "I'm Gonna Love You" and the ubiquitous Rick Nowels co-producing with Thunderpuss.

Unfortunately the album hasn't lived up to expectations, which is too bad since it's an excellent record. The material essentially proves that Sonique was no producers puppet, like many emerging pop and dance acts. She's managed to stay current, and still keep and develop her sound. Compared to her first; the songs are much more personal and introspective in nature, with Sonique given writing credit on all but one song. Tracks like "Can't Make Up My Mind," "Hold Me Now," "Will You Want Me," "Born To Be Free" and "Freefalling" showcase her development as a songwriter and as an artist. This time, it seems Sonique and her producers have managed to make a consistent album, while still being diverse - keeping in the framework of the album as a listening experience, rather than just a collection of songs. Hopefully this won't be the last we hear from Sonique. (4.5 Stars)

5 out of 5 stars Varèse Sarabande à son meilleur!.......2003-04-17

Robert Townson célèbre ici le 500ème cd à être édité par Varèse Sarabande en créant une compilation receuillant les nombreux réengistrements que Varèse Sarabande sut faire au travers des dernières années. Regroupant du matériel de Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, Alex North et plusieurs autres, In Session propose un parcours éclectique au travers des années de compositions de chacune des bandes sonores présentées au sein de la compilation. Le voyage commence à avec la musique rejetée de 2001 d'Alex North, pour faire un parcours passant par Rebecca, Citizen Kane (Félicitons ici le FABULEUSE voix de la soprano Janice Watson et la direction impécable de Joel McNeely), Viva Zapata!, Psycho, The Sand Pebbles, Patton, Jaws, Platoon (Autre musique rejetée du regreté Georges Delerue, pastiche du célèbre Adagio pour cordes de Samuel Barber), Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Musique composée par Joel McNeely pour le livre se déroulant entre The Empire Stricke Back et The Return of the Jedi) pour finalement clore avec Tara's Bulba. Il s'agit ici d'une sélection très riche, des morceaux d'une durée appréciable et d'une direction et d'une sonorité incroyable. Il s'agit ici d'un merveilleux cadeau de Robert Townson et Varèse Sarabande (Label qui célèbre en 2003 son 25ème anniversaire. Surveillez aussi la compilation de Varèse Sarabande (4 cds pour le prix de un!) qui verra le jour le 22 avril 2003) et c'est une compilation que toute personne sensible à la musique doit posséder! Chapeau Varèse!

5 out of 5 stars A copy in every household . . ........2003-02-09

This disc is so chock-full of classic scores from classic films that every movie-and-music lover should own a copy. Thanks to Robert Townson for producing this collection and the entire Varese film score catalog. My favorite tracks from this disc are "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"; "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"; and "Midway".

5 out of 5 stars A sampler feat. some of the greatest film scores in history........2001-09-06

Words cannot convey what a collection like this means to a film music collector such as myself. Varese Saraband has been releasing quality film scores and music for the last 20 plus years. My vinyl and CD collections burst with so much great stuff from Varese. One day I was looking in the bins of my local record store and noticed this little gem of a collection. I looked at it and saw a virtual cornucopia of the great film score cues for only $ (and 2 discs). So I purchased it and opened it up. Much to my surprise, the booklet is chock full of information about each scoring session and pictures to boot. I also learned more about some of these wonderful pieces as well. Well thanks to Mr. Townson and this nice collection, I plan to purchase some of the recordings these cues were released on since I don't own classics like Viva Zapata, Alex North's 2001, Superman (not the Varese version, I do have the other release), and Patton. Guess I will have to save a few pennies, but it will be worth it. I recommend this collection to anybody who wants to discover and learn about the history of film music. I also think it's a great listen from the first song to the last on both discs. My compliments to Varese on a great collection of classics (and keeping it under $).

5 out of 5 stars "the man behind Varese Sarabande ~ Robert Townson".......2001-04-06

The music that this label releases is without a doubt in a class by themselves, always perfection. Here we have the 500th CD release from ~ "The Man Behind The Music" ~ Mr. Robert Townson. So much care is taken with each album, that you feel you are witnessing the birth of a newborn baby, and that may be just what it is.

For those of us who buy each album ~ people who work to create them ~ the artwork ~ musicians ~ and a list of some of the most talented composers and conductors ~ John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, John Debney, Georges Delerue, Cliff Eidelman, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, Michael Lang, Henry Mancini, Joel McNeely, Alfred Newman, Alex North, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Shostakovich, Frederic Talgorn, Franz Waxman, Rick Wentworth and John Williams ~ and as always the sound quality and performances by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and National Philharmonic Orchestra is dynamically flawless and simply superb.

This economically priced 2-CD-Set ~ pure film score sampling ~ is worth it's weight in gold. One should not have a favorite from this vast collection, but if asked ~ it would be "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" (1962) composer Elmer Bernstein took it to the limit and beyond, the story-line, cast and score was the perfect marriage.

A big, big thank you to ~ Matthew Joseph Peak (cover/session photography) ~ Jonathan Allen, Geoff Foster, Bernie Kirsh, Mike Ross, Mike Sheady and Al Swanson (recording engineers) ~ Rich Breen (mastering engineer) ~ and for the extensive 28 page liner-note booklet featuring "behind the scenes" memories of these past 500 albums, may we look forward to future classics on the next 500 CD's from producer...ROBERT TOWNSON!

5 out of 5 stars Outstanding - but the track listing is not correct (buyer beware).......2006-03-11

Finally, Film Score Monthly did what no one else could do: release one of John Barry's most brilliant scores, one that won him not one but two Oscars. If you like this score or Barry, snatch this up fast as it's a limited edition!

I must point out that the track listing on Amazon includes the actual 12 tracks that appear on the CD, but include five more that are definietely NOT on the CD (they're from a rerecording on Varese Sarabande). So, is what's being sold the actual Film Score Monthly release or a bootleg that includes the extra tracks? You should check that out before making your purchase.

5 out of 5 stars Born Free.......2006-02-23

Perhaps one of John Barry's best known compositions, Born Free soundtrack best describes the movie and its setting in Africa very well. The music is very moving, and evokes all emotions from the playful to the tearful. I was pleased to find this original recording on CD after years of searching. The recording quality is very good and surpasses the LP.

5 out of 5 stars PERFECT COMPANION TO "KING OF BLUEGRASS" DVD.......2004-02-29

This is a fantastic CD. I have always loved Jimmy Martin's music and recently bought the "Knig of Bluegrass" DVD. I was a little disappointed in that DVD since it did not include a lot of his music. But This CD makes up for the shortage of music on the DVD. These are live performances beautifully done. Some of the guests appearing on this CD include Little Jimmy Dickens, Marty Stuart, Ricky Skaggs, J.D. Crowe, Paul Williams and Josh Graves.

I wish there would be a DVD produced of these performances. If you like bluegrass, you will really love this CD.
