Title: Stunning CD collection of Germanic Western Soundtrack Music
Review: This set of 8 CDs is getting more and more expensive with time, and is among the few truly classic presentations of film music on CD. These sweeping, melodious scores are beautifully recorded and the set comes with a magnificent hardcover book, which, though in German text only, is mostly made up of lush color reproductions of each films advertising materials. It's a large LP SIZED package with 8 CDs in 4 double-disc jewel cases.While versions of these films have yet to be marketed in the USA on DVD, those familiar with these Karl May film adaptations know that the music is a major element, and deservedly so. This is a prized possession for film music collectors with deep pockets.The key composer is Martin Bottcher, with contributions by A.F. Lavagnino, Riz Ortolani, Peter Thomas, Erwin Halletz, Gottfried Huppertz, Raimund Rosenberger and Ulrich Sommerlatte. Released in 2001 by world-famous Bear Family Records.
