"Silva Screen Records (Prime Time) has devoted itself to new recordings of film music and its box set The Music of John Williams: 40 Years of Film Music, filling four CDs and running over three hours and 45 minutes, is one of its most ambitious efforts. That's appropriate for Williams. This collection doesn't restrict itself to Williams' best-known work, but it does demonstrate that even in his lesser-known pieces, his style is often much the same. The overture from The Cowboys, for example, while employing some standard Western elements familiar from Hollywood movies of decades before, also has a hint of Star Wars. Even when he is scoring a more downbeat film like Born on the Fourth of July, Williams can't seem to help writing his usual uplifting music. Despite its length, this collection can't do more than offer excerpts of Williams' extensive work, but the sampling is representative, and the best of the composer's familiar themes is included."

"Catrin Finch is undoubtedly gifted and technically proficient on her instrument, and her appointment as royal harpist to the Prince of Wales surely indicates a rapid ascent in her budding career. Yet her reputation as one of the world's finest classical harpists is difficult to assess from this confused crossover CD." "Couldn't agree less with the reviewer above. I've just discovered this album on Spotify in HiDef audio. The album is a beautiful mix of musical styles. All very different yet the album works so beautifully as a whole. To hear much of my my favourite music done with a harp is a joy. Such lovely and skilled playing. Great arrangements. A wonderful mix of jazz / traditional / orchestral. Thank you Catrin and team."
