5.0 out of 5 stars " this is a perfect ten ~ Varese 25th Celebration", June 23, 2003
This review is from: Varèse Sarabande - A 25th Anniversary Celebration (Audio CD)
Anyone who has ever read my reviews knows that I'm a complete "film-score-buff" nut. Varese Records has come up with the best of the best in the category of soundtracks/scores. Just take a peek with their latest release "Varese Sarabande:A 25th Anniversary Celebration", featuring a 4-CD-Set with inclusive 84 cues of unforgettable scores from the leading composers of the past Century. The quality of sound, texture and substance is a film scores collectors dream. Each and every track is a self culture unto its own, bringing countries, worlds and universes under one umbrella. This is one not to be missed, so many highlights and stand outs ~ from one spectrum of comedy, romance, drama, suspense, action, adventure...to the other of westerns, horror, war, thrillers and classics that linger from decade to decade.

Much like its predecessor "In Session:A Film Music Celebration" (Varese Records 302-066-225-2), takes the listener on a musical journey that will live on as long as there is the Cinema and Music. This compilation is aimed at the "serious collector of Music", make no mistake about it. Varese and producer Robert Townson hit the mark, a perfect bulleye...not to mention the price is right ~ gotta love it!

Total:4-CD-Set ~ Varese Records 302-066-460-2 ~ (4/22/2003)

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have! I love these CDs!, April 11, 2004
By Laura (Littleton, CO USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Varèse Sarabande - A 25th Anniversary Celebration (Audio CD)
This collection is amazing. It is huge, but I never got the impression that they were "throwing" things in to fill space. I can listen to the entire set from start to finish and by the time it's done, be ready to start over at disc 1 again!

Varèse Sarabande certainly has a formidible archive to dip from--however, what I liked best about this collection is that they weren't afraid to use scores from less popular (or popularly disregarded) movies. This collection is set apart from the vast majority of other film score collections that I've encountered because is actually all about the music/composers and not the movies behind them. I may never have heard some of this music otherwise, simply because I was not interested in the movie behind it.

This will stay at the top of my playlist for a long time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Collection of Movie Themes, May 9, 2003
This review is from: Varèse Sarabande - A 25th Anniversary Celebration (Audio CD)
I've never seen a better variety of memorable movie themes all in one collection. This is definitely the place to begin if you are just starting out as a fan/collector of film scores.

Every major composer is represented here, from John Williams to Danny Elfman, Michael Kamen to Rachel Portman, Randy Newman to Jerry Goldsmith... A stunning collection of themes for a wonderful price.
