About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Saving Private Ryan was an unexpected masterstroke from Steven Spielberg -- a powerful, brutal film that didn't flinch in depicting the violence in World War II, managing to be an antiwar film that was also pro-war. Even though it contained a dose of Spielberg's traditional sentimentality, it remained a complex, layered film scored by John Williams. The composer had less room in the film than usual -- many scenes, particularly the battle sequences, were designed to play without music -- yet he added sentiment wherever he could nonetheless. Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide

July 26, 2002: Williams pours his soul into this film with some of the most heart felt composition & orchestration I have ever heard. His treatment of the subject suggests an intense understanding of all of the men's souls so sadly lost on ''D'' day for the freedoms we enjoy both here and in the rest of the world. The ''Hymn for the Fallen'' will bring tears to your eyes! The solitude of a man's death was captured in music!
