The Adventures of John Williams, the Composer
Reblogged from writtentomorrow
If it’s Steven Spielberg, it’s John Williams.
As someone who’s been interested in listening to soundtracks from movies - a trait picked up from Rakesh after first listening to soundtracks from Swades (A R Rahman), the journey has come a long way, thanks to buddies like Siva, Rama and more.
John Williams is the Ilayaraja of the West, so to speak. His expanse and orchestral scores are a multi-volume story in themselves. I’ve not been a great fan of his - instead, choosing Hans Zimmer, John Powell and Harry Gregson-Williams as my top picks - but the reverence the man commands through his scores is awesome.
