Silva Screen must be one of the most carbon neutral record companies around,given the amount of re-cycling they do. This latest collection of classic film themes contains cues already featured on such albums as Music from the Films of Steven Spielberg,Psycho – The Essential Alfred Hitchcock,The Greatest Cinema Choral Classics,The Great British Film Music Album,The European Film Music Collection and various ‘Essential Classics’ featuring the works of Michel Legrand,Maurice Jarre,Elmer Bernstein,Nino Rota,Ennio Morricone,Max Steiner and Bernard Herrmann (you get the idea). There’s nothing wrong with this per se,and first-time buyers will no doubt appreciate the diversity of tracks on offer,which take in everything from Gone with the Wind to The Da Vinci Code (the latter also featured on – wait for it – The Essential Hans Zimmer Film Music Collection). For hardened soundtrack buffs though,the collection will seem very second hand and familiar. That point made,there is a good selection of genre cues spread over the six discs,including tracks from Dr. No,2001,Twisted Nerve (the ‘whistling’ theme used by Tarantino in Kill Bill,Vol 1),The Exorcist,Superman,Close Encounters,ET,Star Trek,The Lord of the Rings,Spider-Man,Harry Potter and,inevitably,Star Wars. The quality of playing (care of the Prague Philharmonic) is generally very good,though the standard does occasionally slip (the tempo on Jurassic Park is a tad uncertain,as is some of the brass work). At the end of the day,with all objections aside,there’s no arguing that this is a pretty definitive compilation - despite the barefaced cheek of it all. SSSS - Howard Maxford - Starburst
