On 16th May Silva Screen Records will release The Music Of James Horner,
a comprehensive 2CD, 27 track collection.
This double album is an update to Silva Screen’s celebrated 1999 release “Titanic - The Essential James Horner”. An extensive career overview, the album opens with the composer’s latest rendition The Karate Kid (2010), and takes us all the way back to the very beginning - Battle Beyond The Stars (1980).
The release includes the Oscar winning Titanic theme, the stirring music for Braveheart and the strident War from Avatar.
Also features the now classic themes from Star Trek II - The Wrath Of Khan, Apollo 13 and A Beautiful Mind.

and takes us all the way back to the very beginning - Battle Beyond The Stars (1980).
Strangely, Battle Beyond the Stars isn't listed. Was the track list cut off?

Looking at the track titles, I think it's a little too heavy on the action material. Like choosing "War" from AVATAR, for example, which may be the least exciting track on the whole soundtrack.
Just what I thought. Horner has written so much calm and nice music for piano, synths and small ensembles through the years, so it's a pity so little of it is featured here.

Lots of the ethnic/ethereal stuff on AVATAR too, although I suspect it would be more difficult to create for the Prague orchestra (with all the oddball synth effects and such).
Silva Screen ususally hires synth players like Mark Ayres if they are in need of an electronic re-creation. But of course, it would have been better with the original version.
