Strings, brass and lush-velvet arrangements overlay each cue in his distinctive style of legendary scoring --- we have "Film Music Masterworks by John Barry, Silva Screen's release traces 40 years of film music, featuring "The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra" --- conducted by Mr. Nic Raine (as always outstanding) --- "Crouch End Festival Chorus", featuring David Temple, Choir Master...perform 14 selections, close to a full hour of symphonic suites with a full orchestra sound...all individually wrapped-up into one neat package...just the way "film-score-buffs" like 'em! --- without a doubt Barry is my favorite contemporary composer and leads the list of the top five ever --- Barry's touching cues are from the heart melodies while speaking to the inner feelings that can move mountains --- listen to the pure emotion with periods of soulful longings from within --- there is a sadness to Barry's music with blends of joy that prevail .
