Format:Audio CD
I came to Amazon.co.uk to look for a replacement CD of "Adventure!" as a replacement for my old tape copy (EMI-Columbia TC-SCX 6091).
This was published in 1966 and contains many instantly recognisable film themes and other tunes.
From the bombascity of the themes to "633 Squadron" and "Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines", to the tranquil sobriety of "Girl with a Dream" and "Under the Linden Tree", the album provides a perfect aural backdrop for a leisurely journey through the joyous and serene.
The conduction of, and performances from, Ron Goodwin's orchestra are faultless, as is George Martin's production. Various recordings have been used in other contexts to those originally composed for, such as "The Trap", famously used by BBC Sport as their theme to coverage of The London Marathon.
A very easy-to-listen to album, but with plenty of drama and pace to punctuate the dreamier platitudes. I shall look forward immensely to being able to listen to this on CD, which will no doubt bring a whole new lease of life to the album.

Some of the titles on disc one were old favourites and very enjoyable. Disc two, pleasant but not quite so entertaining.

When I was a child in the late fifties our family would sit round the TV and watch the "Francis Durbridge presents" serials. One of those serials was called "The Scarf" and the music haunted me for years afterwards. I found that the music was "Girl from Corsica" by Ron Goodwin and I bought an LP called "Adventure" which featured that track amongst other memorable TV and film tunes. That was in 1971 and all the records went to a charity shop years ago. Recently I spotted this CD at Amazon which includes the original "Adventure" album plus another album with more TV and film music.You can see the quality of the music from the Amazon listing, it's an incredible memory jerker.

RON GOODWIN'S BEST
I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED HIS MUSIC- ESPECIALLY THE WAR FILMS MUSIC-- I USED TO BUY THE RECORDS MANY YEARS AGO. THE LEGEND OF THE GLASS MOUNTAIN IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITES.

Wonderful
Considering the number of recordings Ron Goodwin made for EMI, it's surprising that so few are available on CD.
But you have two really good ones on this 2 cd set. Read more

Ron Goodwin Legend of the 'Glass Mountain' box set
Whilst the CD was good value for the price, I was disappointed that the music from the film was intermingled with other themes. Read more
