Full review
The music of John Barry is somewhat overlooked. Give me the choice between the revered John Williams and John Barry, and the latter would win hands down.
John Barry's music is varied in style; from the flighty The Dove to the haunting Mary Queen of Scots, from the familiar theme from the 1970s cult series The Persuaders to the mysterious The Deep, not forgetting the numerous James Bond themes and the powerful music from The Black Hole, there's something to please everyone.
This four disc set is great value for money and the music spans twenty years of John Barry's musical career. It comes with an information booklet telling the listener a little about John Barry and his music, along with some small details about each track.
I'm usually quite picky about what music I listen to, and certainly very discerning about what CDs I buy, but I didn't regret my purchase for a moment, and the music is just as enjoyable the second time round.
