The Fury Soundtrack by John Williams - Varese Sarabande CD (1978)

Description: "The year was 1978 and "Star Wars" opened less than a year before. Williams had two very impressive scores the previous year and won the Oscar for "Star Wars" although many would argue at the time his score for "Close Encounters" was just as brilliant. However, it was his score for "The Fury" which opened many people's eyes that John Williams had arrived. Even Pauline Kael in her review of Brian DePalma's film was impressed calling his work the greatest score she had ever heard for any horror movie. Having such a great experience the year before, Williams returned to London and recorded the soundtrack with the LSO. Even more impressive, the original track, "Epilogue" meant to be used over the closing titles was scrapped by DePalma as being too long. He used a different track instead which didn't appear on the album (now on CD). In producing the LP, Williams included the original track and so gave us a glimpse into the mind of a genius. I would compare "Epilogue" to Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings in its construct - how it builds with the strings taking over the melody and going higher and higher in pitch until they crescendo in a glorious climatic finish. Having studied Williams' work over a lifetime of devotion to his craft, I can assure you it rarely gets better than this. Williams along with Alfred Newman and Bernard Herrmann is in a class by himself. While so many of his works are simply superior to just about any contemporary composer in his field, you couldn't go wrong to buy this or practically any soundtrack composed by John Williams." - Amazon .com Track List:01 Main Title03:12 02For Gillian02:42 03Vision on the Stairs04:09 04Hester's Theme and the House04:35 05Gillian's Escape06:14 06The Search for Robin02:42 07Death on the Carousel02:51 08Gillian's Vision04:02 09Death on the Carousel and End Titles08:28 10Epilogue04:37 Note: Discounts for combined shipping.
