Pictures Release Date: October 30, 2001 Studio: Warner Bros. Pictures Editorial Review: Amazon.com's Best of 2001: You needn't see the film of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone to appreciate the wonder, magic, and fearful chills of J.K. Rowling's phenomenal bestseller in John Williams's outstanding score. Williams typically avoids the source material for the films he scores, but he reportedly derived great pleasure and inspiration from Rowling's first Harry Potter adventure, and created a perfect motif (fully expressed in "Hedwig's Theme") to dominate his score. It's first heard as a dreamy celesta waltz and embellished through myriad incarnations and moods, often with a sinister edge befitting the darker tones of Chris Columbus's direction. Evident are fantastical allusions to Saint-Saëns and Tchaikovsky (among others), and Williams's epic track is "Quidditch Match," a breathtaking frenzy to accompany the film's dazzling highlight. And while Williams occasionally flirts with self-plagiarism (with inevitable variants of his Hook and Star Wars themes), this is nevertheless a richly regal score that brilliantly evokes the mystery and magic of Harry Potter's world. --Jeff Shannon Album Description: Original soundtrack to the popular motion picture, Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Stone featuring the original film score composed by John Williams.

Average Rating:
 Rating:  - A magical soundtrackJohn Williams at his best... a great performance by everyone involved... if you love the movie this soundtrack will transport you to the world of Harry Potter.. Rating: - Musical MagicJohn Williams continues to amaze me! This soundtrack is not only a worthy companion to the movie, but to the books as well. He captures all the magic of JK Rowling's work at each and every turn. Hedwig's Theme, to me, should go down as one of the greatest music passages of all time. It's so myterious and magnificiently magical. (That's sort of corny, I know, but it's true!) Now here's hoping he's back for Deathly Hallows. Rating: - John Williams At BestWhat a great CD. This is my second copy! Rich, beautiful, magical....John Williams is a genius of our time. Rating: - Helping the Post-Potter DepressionThis CD is wonderful! I love John Williams' work and the music definitely brings you into the world of Harry Potter! Rating: - A must have...This is a must have for any REAL HP fan.....had to have it! Along w/ the other ones available :) |
