The Y2K Album: A Doomsday Collection For The Coming Crash

CD-Charts > Music > Star Wars
from: Decca

Release Date August 10, 1999
Doomsday Classics! The title and concept for this novelty album may be dated, but the music is timeless! "HEAVY" classical music to be played LOUDLY! The arrangements and sound quality on this CD are EXCELLENT! One of my favorite compilation albums of classical music. For the price, don't let this one pass you by.

Telarc Celebrating 25 Years: Classic Collect

CD-Charts > Music > Star Wars
from: Telarc

Release Date June 25, 2002
I recently received this as a present but I was already familiar with many of these recordings, having owned the complete versions of the works presented. Yes, these are great recordings but if you settle for this compilation you will be missing out big time on great music. I own Fennell's recording on the Holst suite--while the March from the suite is very good, you will miss out on the beautiful 'Song Without Words' and the 'Fantasia on the Dargason,' which are the seond and fourth movements of the suite, respectively. If you get the original CD from which this movement was taken you will be able to enjoy the wonderful playing of members of the Cleveland Orchsestra as they play Holst's First suite and a wonderful rendition of Handel's Fireworks ...

The Science Fiction Album, Vol. 1

CD-Charts > Music > Star Wars
from: Silva America

Release Date May 07, 2002
The entire first disc is available on other Silva America CDs, (at the time the star wars songs were the first release, but now they are on Music from the Star Wars saga), the rest on "Space and Beyond" "Space and Beyond 2: Alien Invasion", "The Cult Files" and "Battlestar Galactica A-Z of SciFi/Fantasy TV Themes". The re-recordings are cool but this is mainly a rehash of other cd's, as I said, the entire first cd is available on other Silva collections, and only 9 of the 15 tracks on cd 2 are not available on any other cd i own from Silva. (I don't have Cult Files re-opened or Space and beyond 3, who knows they might be on there)


Obviously, when this album was originally released, the main appeal was the newly recorded star wars ... Read More:

Battle Hymns: Songs of the Civil War

CD-Charts > Music > Star Wars
from: Bci / Eclipse Music

Release Date January 01, 2002
This is a set of Hollywood-type orchestral stylings of some
of the very greatest civil war hymns, whose vital messages --
their words -- are almost totally excluded. Marches are done in
slow time, keys are altered illogically, dynamic markings, etc.,
bear no relationship to the original, and two numbers are included which are not authentic music of the times. Orchestral
playing is occasionally sloppy. The digital recording (Canadian)
of what is presented is very good.

An unqualified disaster.

Lawrence Of Arabia: Original Soundtrack Recording - Newly Restored Edition

CD-Charts > Music > Star Wars
by: Maurice Jarre

Release Date April 25, 1990
David Lean's epic film from 1962, "Lawrence of Arabia" is one of the big screen's finest achievements due in great part to the sweeping score writen by Maurice Jarre. Here is a match as close to perfect as I can imagine of spectacular visuals supported by stunning music, more than ably recorded for the Original Soundtrack release. For me, the listening experience was as enjoyable as viewing the film but after a few years, the soundtrack disappeared into vinyl memory. That is until I recently purchased the CD and to my suprise, Sir Adrian Boult's beautifully conducted score is as evocative and magical as ever. I hope you enjoy this music as much as I do.
