Today, he is the most famous American composer in the world. This collection is the most ambitious cross-disciplinary recording project ever dedicated to John Williams, the supreme embodiment of the Hollywood sound. The program is divided into 20 thematic CDs ranging from his cult soundtracks for Spielberg (Jaws, E. T., Raiders of the Lost Ark, Schindler’s List), George Lucas (Star Wars), Alfred Hitchcock, Clint Eastwood, Brian De Palma and Oliver Stone to jazz and pop, symphonic works and a complete CD of songs and cover versions by Sting, Barbra Streisand, Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald. A journey of discovery through all areas of the Williams continent. Better still: the quintessence of a legend in 22 hours of music. The edition, designed and produced by Stéphane Lerouge, also includes a booklet with an original interview with John Williams and testimonials from Oliver Stone, Jean-Jacques Annaud and Alan Bergman.
