Star Wars And Other Sci-Fi Classics - CD

Various: Star Wars And Other Sci-Fi Classics version on CD in Standard edition. This particular edition was published in Germany in publishing company Naxos on 22. January 2007.

This collection of popular excerpts from award-winning science fiction film scores features spectacular compositions by some of the greatest American film composers of our time. John Williams' eighty scores have earned him more than 35 Academy Award nominations, five Academy Awards, and six British Film Awards. The unparalleled box office success of Star Wars not only maintained its position as the preeminent film of its genre, but inspired Williams' near contemporaries to compose "space music." These include Laurence Rosenthal, Jerry Goldsmith, and screenwriter and producer Glen A. Larson, whose Battlestar Galactica and its television sequel have enjoyed enduring popularity.

Album spans genres Classical, Stage & Screen and Soundtrack.
