Description
Excerpt from Steven Spielberg’s Forward for John Williams: The Anthology – Vol. 1 1969-1990:

“I’m delighted that Sony Masterworks has created John Williams: The Anthology, a definitive three-volume box set presenting a specially curated collection of the best of John’s music for film and the concert stage throughout his extraordinary career. Volume 1 celebrates his film work from the 1960’s through the 1980’s, a period during which John revitalized the role of the symphony orchestra in movie scoring and created some of Hollywood’s most iconic and enduring music for films such as “Jaws”, “Star Wars”, “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, “Superman: The Movie”, “Dracula”, “Raiders of the Lost Ark”, “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”, “Empire of the Sun”, “Born on the Fourth of July”, and “Home  Alone”.

John Williams: The Anthology – Vol. 1 1969-1990 is the first installment of a three-part box set that celebrates the legendary John Williams and his deep body of work. Each disc will be housed in a small jacket that can hold four discs, featuring cover graphics that showcase the original artwork, just as it appeared upon its initial release.
