The Royal Scottish National Orchestra are glorious. I did detect one or two notes go split in the trumpet section, but I am being too finicky about that. The re-created orchestrations of John Williams' masterwork are worthy but it is a pity it wasn't accomplished perfectly (I hear some strange things happening in the woodwinds I have never heard in John Williams' original). I wish that John Debney was as accomplished in his conducting. One or two of his tempi are too fast/slow and delicately murder ... Read More

As a huge film score buff, I won't spend too much time on the score itself, as it's pretty well established that this score is one of the best in the modern era of film scoring, and certainly one of John Williams's best. The march and fanfare, along with the love theme, are three of the most recognizable and finest motifs in film score history.

I thoroughly enjoyed this 2-CD set. The music needs no introduction anywhere in the world. The audio quality of this 1998 recording surpasses what could be captured in 1978 when the original recording was made. The liner notes are a pleasure to read.
I'd also like to correct an error made by a previous reviewer: the total running length of this set is 82 minutes 10 seconds, which *cannot* be accomodated on a single CD. The producers originally planned a single CD release, but when it turned ... Read More
