This incredibly great assortment of John Williams Conductor comprising 20 CDs of music, much of which was composed by John Williams and all of which was conducted by John Williams, normally would sell for $15.00 or more per disc, meaning that this offering of John Williams Conductor should sell for $300.00 or more. Here, Amazon is offering John Williams Conductor for a hair over $100, or about $5.00 per disc! Anyone starting out collecting John Williams’ music would do well to spend $100 on John Williams Conductor for a great learning experience on this great composer and conductor, but do it before Amazon figures out someone really screwed up the price on this offering and the price goes up twice or thrice the present price. Several of these discs simply no longer are available new anymore and this might be the only way to ever secure copies of them new. The assortment found in John Williams Conductor affords John Williams conducting a very wide variety of music in true pops tradition for a very long and enjoyable listening experience.

Its a nice big collection of various music. John Williams is not just someone who creates music, but he also conducts it. As someone who has played in numerous orchestras, knows that a good conductor makes a piece sound differently. Most people wouldn't notice the slight changes a conductor does to a piece, but band- people definitely know what I'm talking about. Great collection.

Different varieties of John Williams past scores besides Star Wars. For the price this collection is fantastic.
