[Nicolai P. Zwar]

Well, I’m off to a good start. Picked “Le Jaquar” as a starting point… instead of charming nice melodies I got big sweeping nice melodies. Bigger sound than I expected from Cosma. Turns out, as I check the booklet, it’s the London Symphony Orchestra… OK, they’re good, I’ve heard (of) them before. Melody and orchestration, if I compare to other composers, a bit Silvestri, a bit Barry mix, which isn’t the worst. Good start. Excellent sound quality. Wow, if the rest is as good as what I’m listening to now as my first pick on a whim (Disc 6 from Volume 1), it’s pretty good. Nothing groundbreaking or disturbing the force, but solid, well composed adventure film music.
