"Composers could actually be called "Hollywood Heroes", really now, without their music, films would be nothing more than shadows on a wall, without a score...the composers goal is to write a music, which is the heart and soul of the project, and this compilation fits the bill...let's take a good look at our composers for this album ~ John Addison, John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Fielding, Maurice Jarre,Trevor Jones, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Tiomkin and John Williams, this certainly looks like a WINNER to me. There are so many stand outs...but let's zero in on scores that are not as readily available to us, the filmscore collector ~ "HIGH ROAD TO CHINA"(Barry)..."MAD MAX III:BEYOND THUNDERDOME"(Jarre)..."THE OUTLAW JOSEY WALES"(Fielding)..."TORN CURTAIN"(Addison)..."CLIFFHANGER"(Jones)...there are five John Barry scores, and what better label to present them than Silva Screen, who has released more than a dozen albums by the legendary composer...all from the baton of Nic Raine with The City Of Prague Philharmonic and as always with the blessings of producer James Fitzpatrick.Total Time: 50:44 on 14 Tracks ~ Silvan Screen Records STD-5009 ~ (1997)"
