(5 out of 5 stars) I ve come to appreciate soundtracks more and more. This compilation progresses chronologically through 60 years of film music, starting with 1939 s The Merry Adventures of Robin Hood , and ending with Titanic . It encompasses a huge range of styles. Along with the usual suspects - music from Ben-Hur , The Magnificent 7 , Star Wars , et al, there are a few real sleepers, like John Barry s medieval-flavored theme to The Lion in Winter , or Leonard Roseman s lyrical East of Eden . Blessedly, most of the tracks are original recordings, conducted by the composers, among them Leonard Bernstein and Aaron Copland. Only those of us burned by tinny, tacky, sacriligiously rearranged retreads on obscure labels can appreciate this.
