Product description DOUBLE CD: Tan Dun / John Williams / James Horner,The Classic Score .co.uk Compiling film themes into a consistently engaging listen has never been easy. Sony has really pulled it off on The Classic Score though, drawing together a genuinely impressive playlist from multiple labels and artists. Its success is in part down to the ear of whoever compiled it, but it's also a fantastic reminder that film music has by no means grown stale while embracing the 21st century. Witness the popular hits: The Phantom Menace's "Duel of the Fates", Harry Potter, Gladiator, Hannibal, Black Hawk Down, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, American Beauty, Planet of the Apes, Chocolat and Captain Corelli's Mandolin. Lest we forget how great the 1990s were, there's Braveheart, Schindler's List, Born on the Fourth of July, JFK, Dances With Wolves and The Piano. Add perennial classics such as The Last Emperor and The Deer Hunter's "Cavatina", and any soundtrack collector will admit this is the best collection of themes there's been in a long time. Noticeable by its absence is Titanic, which conclusively proves these two discs were extremely cleverly and considerately compiled.--Paul Tonks

Brilliant - loads of great pieces from top films
I really love this album. It includes the well known themes from many classic films, including Braveheart, Lord of the Rings, Schindler's List and Jurassic Park, and less well known pieces which are every bit as good. Tracks range in style from powerful war marches to lighthearted themes to dreamy melodies.With two cds included, there are loads of different tracks and it's excellent value for money. There's something for everyone, and I enjoy listening to it whatever mood I'm in.

Chilled with quality
This is wonderful. I brought this years ago, and when one of the discs got scratched (from overuse probably) i bought another copy. I now have this on my ipod, in my car and on my playlist at home. All of the music is of high quality, lovely background music or for playing when you just want to chill out. Highly recommended
