5.0 out of 5 stars An Epic Recording, 4 Jul 2009
By Michael Weatherley "DeadRomantic" (England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a must for all fans of epic movies. The themes from every
major historical epic from One Million BC, through The 300 Spartans,
Ben Hur, Gladiator, The Vikings, El Cid & Braveheart up to Lawrence
of Arabia. And unbeatable value for 4 CDs. Hours of happy viewing
memories come flooding back with this playing in the car, making
thatjourney to work seem much less monontonous.

4.0 out of 5 stars Splendid recording and some rare gems, 23 Nov 2007
By The Penguin "JH" (Great Britain) - See all my reviews
I'll come clean, I bought this solely because one afternoon I couldn't get the lilting theme from "The Vikings" out of my head... I looked on iTunes and balked at paying somewhere near £30 and came here instead.

The 4 disk collection is split by theme, from pre-historic (One Million Years BC) to The British Empire/Orient (Lawrence of Arabia and The Last Samurai) with plenty in between. The strength of the compilation lies in the eclectic mix of composers, genres and styles. The use of "suites" from various films is a useful and skilful way of allowing the listener to enjoy the feel of music from films without neccessarily wading through the entire soundtrack album (which I do not always want to do).

The City Of Prague orchestra is a fine group, conducted by a selection of "western" conductors. In short, this is a highly recommended compilation of epic music.
