Harry Gregson-Williams Narnia magical soundtrack captivates me every time I listen to it!

[sEEKllsevN]

His Narnia work is just unparalleled by any other score. Zookeepers Wife is the closest second to the magic of bringing a world through music and elevating a movie, and thats his score too lol. He's just the best at what he does. Other composers make catchy themes, HGW makes every piece in his score memorable and addicting.

I love how “The Blitz, 1940” sounds like an airplane and “Evacuating London” actually sounds like a train. He did such an amazing job on the score! All of the Narnia music by Harry Gregson Williams is so beautiful.

The narnia soundtrack is my favorite. And Prince Caspian's soundtrack compliments the first so well. My favorite is battle at Aslan's how.

I’m in joying the gilded age....and your music composing is amazing 🙏🏻🎶💗

[zaharishtonov]

You are so on point with this one, Ashton! Harry Gregson-Williams is by far my favorite composer! Alongside with Narnia I also put right up there his score on Prince of Persia which is my favorite of his works! Thanks for presenting this!

[PhantomFilmAustralia]

The score for Spy Game evokes so many different emotions which not only connects viscerally but complements the pictorial narrative, elevating the visual experience. A harmonious blend of cutting-edge technology with thousand-year-old instruments. One of the best scores ever composed.

Nicely edited Ashton! Harry did a great job on Shrek, Kingdom of Heaven, Prince of Persia and yes, Narnia is amazing!

[brandonskelton]

I love HGW! I love Chronicles of Narnia, was a really stunning score. He is such a versatile composer!

[zaneramos]

Ashton, I very much enjoy your unique channel and very much agree with you on Harry’s Chronicles of Narnia TLTWandTW music. Some how and I don’t know how he did it but he flawlessly created the Narnian connection. The feels you get when you listen to every part of the soundtrack...it makes me cry all the time.

[QFilmz]

How is it possible that you didn’t mention the absolute best music Harry Gregson Williams ever created, the Metal gear solid series..

[daleturner]

Yes!!! So great!! Thank for this, maestro Gleckman :-) CONFIRMATION and ZOOKEEPER'S WIFE are also beautiful scores. HGW is the man!!!!

[bacaca]

Kingdom of Heaven and Shrek are some of the best ever

[manupast]

Really a good video Ashton, you captured the best from this amazing artist!

[RedCaio]

Great video, but how can you not mention SINBAD? That score is so good!

[RedRumble]

0:26 so amazing hearing ALONE by HGW here! Been listening go it since last may, I feel inner peace

[animaljustice]

Harry If you read this, Making water for the movie the Martian is your masterpiece. WELL DONE ❤❤❤

[TBM]

Absolutely agree Ashton, Narnia has such a unique voice brilliant soundtrack.The opening with jet plane sound used in bass! Martian is ok also but at times sounds like Zimmer, not that original but in the film is excellent.

[ZacharyJMoore]

Ashton, I know you are busy, but could you do a video on aspects of sound design? Maybe aspects of how Hans does it as well as other film composers and how you handle it? I think sound design adds such equal importance in creating worlds for our audiences to enter.

This was a great video. I am a huge HGW fan.
