Harry Potter - The Discography Soundtrack (iTunes Plus AAC M4A)

The collection starts off with the easily identifiable “Hedwig’s Theme”, which has been associated with the Potter films ever since. It was up to master composer John Williams to create a musical world fitting for a boy wizard. After all, it was Williams who created such wonderful scores for the Star Wars films, the Indiana Jones films, and so many others. Williams proved in his work for the first three films why he is still one of the best in the business. He utilizes every part of the orchestra, and every piece has a lot going on. While there’s a main theme being presented, there are smaller parts being played at the same time, all of which combine and make for wonderfully blended compositions. In “Harry’s Wondrous World”, we experience that feeling of being a young boy and being exposed for the first time to the magical world he had been denied by his Muggle relatives. The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra is brilliant here, fully capturing the splendor of the original recordings. The sound is sharp, and is wonderful to listen to whether you’re reading the books or just need some music playing. This is one collection I would have to recommend to any Harry Potter fan, or to anyone who loves good instrumental music. There’s much here to check out, and it is certainly magical.
