    This particular score helped me enormously to endure my mother's dead and fulfill her last wish: honouring the brave men who died on Omahabeach by laying flowers at the Colleville sur Mer American War Cemetery in Normandy, France and visiting that place since then every year with 50 college students. Mum was born on october 23rd, 1943 and liberated by US forces on september 17th 1944. She died in may 2001. The Netherlands will be eternally gratefull. Thank you USA!

    I have been a member of several Symphony orchestras (Boston Symphony etc) that have recorded the soundtracks of several films that John Williams have composed & conducted in the recording process, (Saving Private Ryan,Pearl Harbour. Attack of the clones etc) . I have been a professional musician for almost 30 years & have never came across a better composer & conductor. John is a musical Genius & his scores are brilliant & emotionally moving. He is a musical genius & I have the upmost respect

    November 1998. I was in a packed theatre on a warm Sydney night. Word had gotten out about how graphic the film was so there was a sort of nervousness in the theatre. The opening of the film with The elder Ryan in the cemetery and on the Higgins boats riding into Omaha beach doesn’t hit you right away. But when the ramps go down and the first rounds hit the rangers I was shocked at the sound the bullets made. The whizz and smack of the bullets hitting the bodies was nothing like I had heard before. Unforgettable!

    Thank you John Williams for bringing to the world of cinema the most intense and sweet feeling that can ever be developed for this great medium... Your music shakes our souls in honor and respect to those great men who fell in Omaha and on other fronts ... sadly this feeling of respect for the work of these men for peace, is again overshadowed by the ambition of the descendants of the promoters of slaughterhouses of men and women, these beings who without remorse, still do not feel what they you deliver through music; that little remnant of humble humanity that we still have as "civilization"... Thank you for drawing the notes of my childhood and recording in my memories every work in which your music moved every fiber of my being... thank you John, My family and I give you our deepest thanks.

    Absolutely. I heard many times this phrase from musicians who know: ask any class of film scoring students: "Who is your favorite film music composer?" You will most likely hear in unisson: "John Williams!".
    I would say the same in the blink of an eye. There are and were and will be many other fantastic film composers, some naysaywers even accuse J. W. of almost bordering on muzak, but J. W. seems to be THE composer who really reaches deep into feelings we didn't even know we could have.

  • @boatingnyc123
    @boatingnyc123 10 років тому +4

    Ennio Morricone is one of the greatest film composers of all time. In fact some of his composing is better then some of the films he composed for (not including cinema paradiso of course) . His body of work is truly remarkable unlike a lot of composers today that just piece unrelated thematic sections together in protools software. Most of the masters, Williams , Mancini ..etc. we're classic Pencil and paper composers as technology doesn't help writing the overall composition that includes depth and meaning. That's something you build up by playing, listening and writing.. And sometimes rewriting.

Actually, only an artist can be a genius (Einstein was not : someone else could have discovered what he discovered because it's all science xD ). It sounds strange or too vague but I'm glad to believe it ;-). And John Williams is a genius of course ! That's indisputable. His music touches us in the deepest part of our heart. We can't explain it but we feel... well, extatic when it does. ^^ Thank you Mr Williams !

Steve Jobs said "great artists steal". Wonder if Zimmer is in this catagory? Id still give hans thumbs up for his great taste in sounds. He does seem to know how to make use if the computer to its full advantage.so that being said......all in all,he gets what the director wants.

      Zimmer does not compose the music attributed to him; he hires his 'minions' to do it for him. I do not believe that Zimmer has the capacity to 'steal', given that he can hardly read a music score. The computer is his best mate; nothing more, nothing less.
