4 out of 5 stars Good CD   August 21, 2008
Amazon User
The music you hear on the NBC Olympic broadcasts is pretty much all on this disc.

One problem is that on the O Fortuna track, the volume from 00:23 to 01:38 is really low for some reason. Almost inaudible for that section of the song.



4 out of 5 stars John Williams, great as usual...   July 22, 2008

I purchased this CD because my son had it a few years ago and I wanted a copy since he has long left. It was wonderful as I remembered it. It has a couple of dirges on it for which I don't care but in general, the music is inspirational and uplifting.


5 out of 5 stars this one will surprise you!   October 17, 2007

I'll keep it simple: this album is a collection of classical music belonging to a category commonly referred to as the fanfare. Several pieces were written by the conductor, John Williams, who is famous for movie themes like Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, Memoirs of a Geisha, and many others. It is majestic, inspiring, and beautiful. I have shared it with several friends and they all agree. This music stirs the soul and lifts the heart.

5 out of 5 stars Inspirational music during awards   January 21, 2007
Carlos B. Mangrobang (Fremont, CA. USA)
I use the music on this CD as background when I give awards during track. It's very inspirational & uplifting to the athletes. They love it.
