IJ Trilogy Suite CD - Prague Philharmonic

[maquino]

In addition to the three original soundtrack recordings and the recent expanded one for Raiders, you might like to know about this one if you haven't already come across it:

As I have already reviewed it on that Amazon.com page, I won't repeat myself here, save to say that I think it's very enjoyable as "listening-alone" music. Also, if you are a glazed-eyed IJ fan who's played the soundtracks so many times you know them by heart, this version may be just different enough to be a breath of fresh air.

Is it any good? What do you like about it?

If you click on that Amazon.com link, you can read details (including some buyer reviews, including mine), see a list of the music tracks, and listen to clips from several of them.

This is a single CD containing a selection of pieces from each of the three films, conducted in a slightly more detailed, slower "concert" style than the original soundtrack albums. As you'll see from the reviews, at least one person really hates it. Personally I think it's a very refreshing contrast to the original album versions. (For instance, you get more "thunder and drums' in "The Map Room" with this version than in the original.)

I bought this cd last year... I love it, great rendition!

I found it at Sam Goody. The songs seem more like remixes than renditions, but it's still good.

I like the IJ Trilogy Suite CD, but can't stand their renditions of the Airplane Fight and Anything Goes.
