Una de las bandas sonoras más bellas del maestro. Una obra maestra ❤

As some of you maybe have noticed, there was no video posted last week. A rather uninteresting historical event, however connected to an interesting one: John Williams in Berlin. As two years ago in Vienna, Fred made a pilgrimage to see the master. So, I hope this excuse will be accepted by you.
One of the pieces Williams presented there together with the Berliner Philharmonic Orchestra, was the suite (or End Credits) from “Far And Away” (1992), a delicious mixture of adventure, drama and romance, starring Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman and directed by the very talented Ron Howard. In Berlin Williams himself noted that he always had been looking forward to score an Irish-movie in the tradition of Hollywood composers like Victor Young, which needs a different (orchestral) color-palette and feature a ‘Donnybrook’, a fun-piece to bring the orchestra to sweat and support the actors on screen during their fist fights (where nobody gets much hurt). Besides that, Williams achieved to write some wonderful music for “Far And Away”, including the love theme, which is featured throughout the movie and the very sumptuous “Land Race”. Enjoy!

John Williams 《Far and Away》-- 真的是令人心潮澎湃 -- 他灵巧地穿插 运用了爱尔兰、苏格兰的音乐元素和音乐符号，让这首曲子 简直成了 盎格鲁 萨克森人 后裔 魂归故里 的 灵魂还乡的灵歌 那苏格兰风笛、那低音沉重的大鼓 简直 直击心灵 ... 余音绕梁... 🙂

I saw this film once at the time, I thought it was quite epic in style. I really should watch it again.

Thank you so much for posting this! This was one of my favorite movies as a teenager, and also one of my favorite film scores ever. It was one of my first scores (after Jurassic Park) and I listened to it constantly. I have always been surprised at what little recognition this score has gotten over the years - it is absolutely epic and emotional!

This is a remarkable collaboration between John Williams and traditional Irish folk band The Chieftains.

[TedMcAuley]

This compilation flowed perfectly. Bravo.

The big match is unbelievable, nobody could use brass like John Williams

[gregobrien]

If any of you have ever visited the "Guinness Hop Store" attraction in Dublin Ireland then you've accidently visited a set from "Far And Away" as it's the place where Shannen gets off the boat in the USA and where her spoons get spilled on the ground.

I think "The Reunion" is most certainly influenced by "The Last Rose of Summer."

In celebration of great.actor Tom Cruise on his birthday (July 4th)!!!

[AlectheVideomaker]

While the score was great, it alone wasn’t enough to save the movie.

[morlock]

Very complex score. Wonderful work distilling it down. Applause for Fred and, of course, the master John Williams.

[BlowsAgainsttheEmpire]

Yet another great score from Williams, thanks for uploading with chapters.👍

[iceomistar]

RIP Paddy Maloney, my favourite Irish musician/Composer, his work on this score and Treasure Island are my favourites

[miltonabbiati]

Bellissimo ritorno Fred.👍🏻
Le melodie irlandesi mi piacciono molto, come il senso epico della storia in musica!🍀
Purtroppo non mi sono del tutto interessato alle regie di Ron Howard...
In Italia, il film ha il titolo "Cuori ribelli".

[Owlzindabarn]

Quite nice; a lot of it sounds similar to "Titanic" I guess because they were influenced by Irish music.

[biancaortega]

Perfect sound recording of the film, thank you!
