Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone [Original Soundtrack]

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone [Original Soundtrack] (2001) more music like this

by John Williams

As a fan of J.K. Rowling's massively popular Harry Potter books and the composer of some of the best fantasy/sci-fi film scores, John Williams was a natural choice to write the music for Chris Columbus' film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. His score captures the childhood mischief, magic, and adventure of the film and the ...

Star Wars [Original Soundtrack]

Star Wars [Original Soundtrack] (1977) more music like this

by John Williams

Today, this double-LP (and, more recently, double-CD) set seems a quaint anachronism out of a generally silly decade, though much of the music -- including the opening fanfare, the music associated with Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, and Ben Kenobi, and the Death Star motif -- still resonates 30 years later, so iconic has it become. Actually, back ...

Jurassic Park

Jurassic Park (1993) more music like this

by John Williams

John Williams' score for what has become the most successful movie of all time is similar to his scores for other popular Steven Spielberg films. He remains firmly in the tradition of the lush, heavily orchestrated score. This is the first horror movie he and Spielberg have collaborated on since Jaws, but there is nothing like the threatening ...

Far and Away

Far and Away (1992) more music like this

by John Williams

It's a fine score (as is to be expected from John Williams), although parts of it are reminiscent of his scores from Hook and JFK. The Chieftains are featured on three tracks, and the album includes Enya's "Book of Days." One thing is puzzling, however. Why, when "Book of Days" is in Gaelic on Enya's Shepherd Moons album, is it translated into ...

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999) more music like this

by John Williams

The familiar fanfare is there, in all of its swaggering-brass glory, though it seems a little less expansive in the actual depth of its instrumentation. This may be an artifact of the digital age, however -- that fabled, oft-mentioned "transparency." Regardless, Star Wars fans will thrill at the sound of it. What's open to question is whether or ...

Schindler's List

Schindler's List (1994) more music like this

by John Williams

When John Williams received his 29th Academy Award nomination for Schindler's List, he had already won Oscars for Fiddler on the Roof, Jaws, Star Wars, and E.T.: The Extra Terrestrial. He had long been an automatic nominee, but as Hollywood's most honored working composer it was generally believed that it would take an extraordinary addition to ...

Memoirs of a Geisha

Memoirs of a Geisha (2005) more music like this

by John Williams

John Williams skillfully utilizes the formidable talents of renowned cellist Yo-Yo Ma and equally beloved violinist Itzhak Perlman to flesh out director Rob Marshall's celluloid rendering of the bestselling novel by Arthur Golden, Memoirs of a Geisha. Elegant and predictable, Williams sticks to the source, building grand Western themes off of ...

Summon the Heroes

Summon the Heroes (1996) more music like this

by John Williams & the Boston Pops

John Williams conducts this uplifting collection of Olympic themes, brimming over with bright fanfares and sweeping pieces culled from mostly contemporary sources. Highlighting the recording is Williams' own "Summon the Heroes," easily recognizable as NBC's primary musical piece during their coverage of the Olympic games. Zac Johnson, All Music ...

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) more music like this

by John Williams

John Williams, when working within the realms of science fiction or fantasy, somehow manages to convey the same level of magic and whimsy inherent in Tchaikovsky's Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. For the first two Harry Potter films he employed an instantly memorable theme augmented by a series of elegant yet uninspired action motifs that while ...

The Spielberg/Williams Collaboration (1990) more music like this

by John Williams & the Boston Pops

Composer John Williams and director Steven Spielberg have long had one of the most symbiotic relationships in Hollywood. They've helped each other become the best known, most successful, and most powerful men in their respective fields. Spielberg has hired Williams to score nearly every movie he's ever made. Meanwhile, at the end of the 20th ...

Sunny Spells & Scattered Showers (1997) more music like this

by Solas

It would be hard for Solas to top their eponymous debut album, and the group don't quite succeed, but they do present a wonderful follow-up nonetheless. Things are a bit more self-conscious and experimental this time around: Séamus Egan brings his banjo to the proceedings, playing it with an incredible rhythmic technique, and guest percussionist ...

Amistad (1997) more music like this

by John Williams

John Williams' score for Steven Spielberg's slave-revolt epic Amistad is a thoroughly compelling piece of music, managing to find an affecting middle ground between Williams' trademark, anthemic cinematic scores and intimate, reflective music. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

Jaws [Original Soundtrack] (1975) more music like this

by John Williams

John Williams' first film score to capture the imagination of the public, and the first hit movie score of the 1970s not to involve a love theme (à la Love Story), Jaws has been on CD for more than a decade, but this is the first release that really does it justice. The centerpiece of the music is the bump-bump-bump-bump theme associated with the ...

An American Journey: Winter Olympics 2002 (2002) more music like this

by John Williams

If there's anyone who is close to being the United States' "national composer," it's got to be John Williams. He's the man who led the Boston Pops (U.S. national orchestra) for years and created the music for Star Wars, Superman, Jaws, Harry Potter, and pretty much every Steven Spielberg film ever made. So who do you call upon to create new ...

This is a collection of the standards that are Frank Sinatra, highlighting all the important phases of Sinatra's career.

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) more music like this

by John Williams

With 1981's Raiders of the Lost Ark, John Williams created the most influential and majestic adventure film score of the era. While its 1984 sequel, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, can't possibly wield the same impact, it's nevertheless a rousing effort that cements the legacy of the original while twisting the formula in compelling ways. ...
