Customer Reviews of The Eiger Sanction: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Williams Meets Eastwood One interesting thing about this CD is that you can find almost all styles of music, all of which were created By John Williams for this Clint Eastwood actioner.
The main theme for "The Eiger Sanction" is lyrically beautiful, but I find a little tiresome that it's repeated in different tracks of this CD. However, I may say that the best versions are heard on the first two tracks and track # 6.
"The Icy Ascent" is my favorite track because it represents the pre-Star Wars Williams in a way. The melody begins calmly and then goes in crescendo until reaching a spectacular moment. Just like climbing a mountain. But if we go on talking about classical motifs, "The Top Of The World" and "The Eiger" make a fine complement to "The Icy Ascent".
"The Eiger Sanction" is a fine work by Williams, and the only one written for a Clint Eastwood movie. I would have loved to have seen, or whatever, Williams write the scores for "Firefox" and "Space Cowboys". Too bad.
It's great!
What brought my attention to this soundtrack was Amazon's "Essential Recording" status. I liked what I heard in the sound clips, so I purchased it... And I'm so glad I did!
The album contains a handful of different arrangements of the "Main Title" theme (aka "Theme from the Eiger Sanction"), all of which are quite enjoyable, along with the other music composed for the film. The CD has a mix of music ranging from jazz to classical... even with some of that '70s twang.
A great listen for all film music fans!
A rare and unique side of Williams-Before The Epics!
Just a few years after writing quirky TV themes (Lost In Space) and a few years BEFORE he single-handedly re-invented motion picture scoring (STAR WARS; SUPERMAN, etc,)Williams scored this espionage yarn for star/director Clint Eastwood. Although the film itself has dated badly, the music, like so much of Williams' work, transcends the material it was written for and emerges as a unique entry in his repertoire. Most of his subsequent works have, of course, demanded a more powerful evocation of mood, but this early score is indicative of Williams' lighter touch. "Friends and Enemies" and "Theme...Hemlock and Jemima", are intimate moments that are contrasted effectively with things like "The Icy Ascent" and "The Eiger." Barely released twenty years ago, this score is a welcome addition to any John Williams library, and perhaps even more so now that it is more "removed" from the film itself.
