The interesting issue about this recording is that Williams himself directs. It is always a plus to listen to music played by its author. Average performance by the orchestra.
Rating: 3 / 5
John Williams ademas ser un compositor sin igual es un extraordinario director es asi como en conjunto con Los Boston Pops logra grabaciones espectaculares.
Entonces lo mejor de Williams a cargo de Williams junto con los POps es sorprendente, la obertura de “Cowboys” es grandiosa, Encuentros cercanos es fantastica, asi igual lo son la marcha para superman, Indiana Jones, de Darth Vader y la menos conocida para Midway. En resumen lo mejor de Williams en unas interpretaciones increibles, y nadie que se queje que no son las originales porque suenan incluso como la Sinfonica de Londres, y eso es mas de lo que uno espera. Grandioso.

Morning walking workout is usually accompanied by music. Grabbed a tape of John Williams & the Boston Popps belting out the Olympic Fanfare and Theme (from recording named “By Request”). Such fun I instantly researched the availability of a CD version. Found it. Ordered it. Received it. Played it. Filed it. Discovered I already owned it. Want it back?

I have always been a fan John williams music. When my wife and I were married, our friends went in together and bought us our first CD player. Along with it was this CD. Years later, I loaned it to a co-worker who never returned it. I was never able to find it until I looked on Amazon.
This recording has, what I feel, are John Williams’ best compositions. The Boston Pops plays amazingly well, especially the low brass.

My daughter is playing the Cowboys Overture in an upcoming concert and needed to listen to a recording. This CD contains many of John Williams works — and is played (excellently) by the Boston Pops. This recording has become a treasured part of my daughters extensive music library and it contains often hard to find pieces. You can’t beat shopping for music with Amazon. If they don’t have it — no one will. We are happy Amazon customers and remain so! Thanks to all the fine folks that work at Amazon!
