Cinema Century Collection - 08/10 - Recensie van Andreas Lindahl, ingevoerd op (Engels)
There are compilations, and then there are Compilations. Opening with Max Steiner's King King Prelude from 1933 and closing with a suite from James Horner's score for The Mask of Zorro, written in 1998, this 4 CD release pretty much spanns the entire history of film music, and has to be considered being the ultimate film music compilation. Or at least as ultimate as it can be with 4 CD's stuffed with over four hours of music from some of the best film scores ever written. What makes the compilation even more insteresting and entertaining is the fact that it does not focus only on the modern classics. Two CD's are devoted to the music of composers such as the aforementioned Max Steiner (who, apart from King Kong, is represented by the scores for The Treasure of Sierra Madre and The Caine Mutiny) and Korngold (The Adventures of Robin Hood and The Sea Hawk). Music from Alfred Newman's scores for Wuthering Heights, The Mark of Zorro, How the West Was Won are included for us to enjoy, as is Miklos Rozsa's music for The Thief of Bagdad and El Cid. Nino Rota has is fair share of music, with a suite from Romeo & Juliet and two cues from The Godfather. Then there's several tracks with music by Goldsmith (Papillon, Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Basic Instinct), John Barry (The Cotton Club and Body Heat) and James Horner (Braveheart, Apollo 13, Titanic and The Mask of Zorro), but for some reason only one piece by John Williams, whose "Hymn to the Fallen" from Saving Private Ryan can be found on the fourth CD.

The performance, by the City of Prague Philharmonics, sometimes supported by the Crouch End Festival Chorus, is mostly above criticism, although some cues have flaws, such as the suite from The Mask of Zorro, which is too slow and kind of muffled and flat. The performance of the "Finale" from David Arnold's Independence Day gives me goosebumps, though, especially when the choir kicks in. The "Prelude" from Franz Waxman's score for Prince Valiant is also worth mentioning. Film Score Monthly's release of this score was absolutely splendid, apart from one thing - the sound (not their fault, which is something that should be pointed out). This is how it should have sounded. Excellent!

Some of the selections can be discussed, of course, such as the lack of music by John Williams and the total absence of Bernard Herrmann, and I would have liked if some music by John Debney, John Ottman, Hans Zimmer and Marc Shaiman would have been included. But it is a matter of taste, I suppose. And it is simply impossible to please everyone, even if you have 4 CD's to fill with music. Also, more great music, that perhaps should have been included here, can be found on Silva Screen's first Cinema Century 3 CD compilation, which is highly recommended.

Many of the cues are old recordings, meaning that they have been included on several other compilations before. This is often the case with Silva Screen's compilations, but one has to keep in mind that they often are not aimed at "professional" film music fans, but rather at the general public. And as introductions to the amazing world of film music, Silva Screens' compilations are always perfect. And this extremely enjoyable little collection is no exception.
Cinema Century Collection - 10/10 - Recensie van Arvid Fossen, ingevoerd op (Nederlands)
Elke liefhebber van film koopt wel regelmatig eens een verzamel cd of box die telkens pretendeert het ultieme overzicht te zijn van de filmmuziek. In de meeste gevallen is de muziek van zulke collecties vrij goed, maar ligt de nadruk nogal vaak op filmmuziek van de laatste 10 jaar. The Cinema Century Collection wil een overzicht brengen van 100 jaar cinema op 7 cd's ...

Silva Screen Records is een Brits soundtrack label dat zich voornamelijk richt op het heruitbrengen van filmmuziek, telkens in een volledig nieuwe opname, en telkens met de geweldige sound van The City Of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra. De muziek van grote klassiekers krijg je dan ook te horen veel keer beter dan het origineel, vaak voor het eerst in stereo en nog eens in dolby pro logic.

De discussie of dit nu de meest representatieve verzamelaar van filmmuziek van de afgelopen eeuw is, ga ik hier niet voeren, en er zullen altijd films die de pretentie hebben om onontbeerlijk te zijn in een overzicht als deze ontbreken. Je mag van mij aannemen dat dit een van de volledigste en meest kwalitatieve compilaties is die beschikbaar is op de markt.

De set van 7 cd's bestaat uit de bundeling van twee eerdere releases van Silva Screen die onder dezelfde titel verschenen. Beide sets doorlopen de filmmuziek van jaren 30 tot eind jaren 90, telkens met een andere selectie.

Ik zelf ben meest vertrouwd met de filmmuziek van de jaren 90, en merk al gauw dat met representatieve titels als Basic Instinct, Ghost, Schindler's List, The Bodyguard, Braveheart, English Patient, Dances with Wolves, Silva Screen het echt meent met deze compilatie. Veel labels putten immers graag enkel uit hun eigen archief, wat de prijs/winst ten goede komt, maar de volledigheid niet. Maar ook de oudere films zijn meer dan goed vertegenwoordigd en opnieuw kan ik de selectie alleen maar nog voortreffelijker noemen, gaande van King Kong, Gone with The Wind, Casablanca, The Magnificent Seven over Jaws, The Godfather, Star Wars, Cinema Paradiso enz. Bovendien zal eenieder voor zichzelf zeer zeker weer een heel aantal componisten en films leren kennen … bekijk de indrukwekkende tracklist van deze set en je begrijpt wat ik bedoel ...

Samengevat is Cinema Century Collection ongetwijfeld het beste overzicht op dit moment beschikbaar. Voor de prijs van net geen 3 cd's haal je deze unieke collectie van de filmmuziek in huis, een must niet alleen voor de echte filmmuziek fans, maar voor iedereen die van film houdt ...
