One of the more laudable side effects of the "crossover" craze affecting (or afflicting, depending on your perspective) the classical music business has been the reclamation of film music as part of the mainstream symphonic repertoire. It's always belonged there. Before there were movies, composers wrote music for plays, and this so-called "incidental" music has given us some of out most popular classics, including Grieg's Peer Gynt, Beethoven's Egmont, Mendelssohn's A Midsummer Night's Dream, and Bizet's L'Arlesienne. Hermann was one of the great film music composers of all time, and his scores fit naturally into a great and illustrious tradition, nowhere more so than in this award-winning recording. --David Hurwitz (Review copyright Amazon.co.uk)
