He is the most influential living film composer: John Williams. "The Legend of John Williams" now honours his magnificent oeuvre in unprecedented completeness.
On 20 CDs, this edition includes not only John Williams' most recent works, but also his earliest works from the 1960s. These include iconic original soundtracks for STEVEN SPIELBERG (Jaws, E.T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler's List), GEORGE LUCAS (Star Wars), ALFRED HITCHCOCK, CLINT EASTWOOD and many more.
The collection also contains recordings with the BOSTON POPS and a series of John Williams' concert works, including the rare "Sinfonietta for Wind Ensemble" with the EASTMAN WIND ENSEMBLE and recordings with ANNE-SOPHIE MUTTER, the RECORDING ARTS ORCHESTRA OF LOS ANGELES, BOSTON SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA and the BERLIN PHILHARMONIKER.
The collection is complemented by a large selection of songs written by Williams throughout his career, including cover versions by FRANK SINATRA, ELLA FITZGERALD, COUNT BASIE, HENRY MANCINI, ANDRÉ PREVIN, LUCIANO PAVAROTTI and BARBRA STREISAND.
The accompanying 44-page hardcover book features a new interview with John Williams, archive photos and quotes from companions (Oliver Stone, Jean-Jacques Annaud and Alan Bergman).
