One Of John Williams' Lesser-Known Scores In-between stints working with Steven Spielberg, and many years before the Harry Potter films came into his life, film composer extraordinnaire John Williams did three scores for Oliver Stone, one of this era's most provocative filmmakers. His score for JFK is the middle one (between 1989's BORN ON THE FOURTH OF JULY and 1995's NIXON).
Mixed in with popular late 50s/early 60s favorites by Ray Barretto ("El Watusi"), Tony Bennett ("Maybe September"), Brent Lewis ("Ode To Buckwheat"), and Sidney Brechet ("Ode To Buckwheat"), as well as the first movement of Mozart's Horn Concerto No. 2 (with principal Chicago Symphony Orchestra horn soloist Dale Clevenger, and the Franz Liszt Chamber Orchestra led by Janos Rolla), Williams' score for JFK is a mix of Coplandesque Americana elements (the prologue/main theme), and dissonant, Stravinskian rhythms (the terrifying "Motorcade", with sudden staccato bursts from the brass section and the piano). The music superbly captures the sinister intrigues behind this epic and (to this very day) extremely controversial 1991 movie about the Crime of the 20th Century.
For those who thought Williams could only do big epic scores, the JFK score should change your mind. Although it's a hard soundtrack to find (I found it in the used CD rack of a record store myself), the music itself is well worth it all.
Not quite sure how to rate this one!
I must be the only person in the country with a copy of this soundtrack. It was a "cut-out" purchase and was only made because John Williams composed the music for the Oliver Stone film.
This soundtrack is comprised of eleven tracks composed by Williams, and traditional and pop songs reflecting the era. Songs by Tony Bennett, Ray Baretto, Brent Lewis, The Royal Scots Dragon Guards, and a chamber orchestra performance of Mozart's "Concerto #2 for Horn and Orchestra, K.471: Allegro Maestoso" round out the rest of the album.
It's difficult to categorize the album because of the diversity of the selections presented. Thus, "something for everyone" may not apply here.
There may be just TOO much of everything.
