- A Very Below Par OrchestraI only got this CD today, haven't heard it all. The first cut I played was "Parade of the Charioteers" from Ben Hur, one of my all time favorite pieces from any movie. I was so disappointed. The orchestra seemed to be playing at 7/8 time of the original almost as if they had recorded this piece the first time they ever played it and were unfamiliar with the music. Miklos Rosza's original was heavy on bass drums and cymbals, but they were either covered by other instruments or gone. Instead of seeing ... Read More

- Great concept, but a disappointing performance and mixThe selection of most of the tracks I would have to agree include some of the very best moments from Epic Hollywood film scores. The conception is a solid one.
The problems are in the execution. In many cases the orchestra seems under-rehearsed, and not understanding the music they are playing. The conductors' lack of direction is evident.
Comparing these recordings with the originals you notice how badly balanced the Prague orchestra was. Control of the balance is in the hands ... Read More

- The History of the World According to Hollywood.This wonderful album would have to be the jewel in the crown of my collection. Never before have I heard such passion and precision from this wonderful orchestra, once again they demonstrate their versatility. The movies are timeless, most are from my era, they can be relived.
The huge depth of sound from The Prague Philharmonic fills ones room, yes they have a big voice but for those who have a love of music which is truly inspirational and uplifting it doesn't come any better than this.

- EPICS THAT DO NOT DISAPPOINTWHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA TO TAKE HOLLYWOOD'S COLLECTION OF HISTORICAL EPIC MOVIES, EXTRACT THE BEST PORTIONS OF THE SCORES AND COMBINE THEM FROM THE DAWN OF MAN TO THE RECENT PAST. I PARTICULARLY ENJOY THE SUITES FROM GLADIATOR, BRAVEHEART AND THE VIKING. THE REPRODUCTION OF THESE SCORES BY THE CITY OF PRAGUE PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA AND CHORUS IS BRILLIANT, AND THE RECORDING WAS EXCELLENT. I ONLY WISH THERE WERE EIGHT DISCS INSTEAD OF FOUR TO COVER THE VOLUMES OF SCORES THAT COULD NOT BE INCLUDED. LET'S ... Read More

- Interesting selections . . .This compiiation album makes an excellent gift for that person wanting to discover great, epic scores. I'm surprised, however, that Vangelis' Alexander is included in this one. Not bad, just surprised.
The reason I give this album 4 out of 5 stars is because of the swashbuckler section. How is it that CutThroat Island - one of the greatest epics in history - was scrubbed out of the list? Pirates of the Caribbean is included on the selection but nothing from Debney's masterpiece?!
