| | From Russia With Love Soundtrack CD (1 Customer Review)
Although John Barry won numerous Academy Awards for his scoring of motion pictures--A LION IN WINTER and DANCES WITH WOLVES among them--his name is most commonly associated with the James Bond films (ironically, he never received an Oscar for his Bond scores). Following closely on the heels of the first Bond film (DR. NO), FROM RUSSIA WITH LOVE features several of John Barry's distinctive motifs (namely the instantly recognizable "James Bond Theme") that would become inextricably linked in the popular imagination with the long-running saga of 007.
Barry underlines the film's exotic locations and action-packed sequences with evocative "lounge" music, high strings, twangy guitars, and a massive "wall of sound" brass section that nearly leaps from the speakers. Barry's music swings and swells, adding quiet, creeping tension to suspenseful sections, romantic atmosphere to love scenes, and walloping bombast to the dramatic battles. Occasionally, Barry throws a curve ball, as on the melancholy, Ennio Morricone-esque "Guitar Lament," but for the most part the soundtrack is true to his lounge-noir Bond aesthetic. "From Russia with Love," sung by Matt Munro, instigated the Bond film tradition of radio-friendly title songs with vocals by popular singers.
Original score composed and conducted by John Barry.
Recorded at CTS Studios, London, England in March 1963. Includes liner notes by Jeff Bond.

Musically, in terms of being a James Bond score, Dr. No is the weakest of the soundtrack albums in the film series, with only Monty Norman's "James Bond Theme" marking out familiar territory. But as a piece of music and a pop culture artifact, Dr. No may be the most interesting album in the whole output of the James Bond series. A good portion of the most memorable music in the film, including "Kingston Calypso" (the "Three Blind Mice" theme from the opening of the film) and "Jump Up," constituted mainstream American (and European) audiences' introduction to the sounds of Byron Lee & the Dragonaires (who also appeared in the movie, performing "Jump Up"), who became ...

The 2003 remastered edition includes a previously unreleased score.
John Barry's best score for any James Bond movie -- including the best song ("We Have All the Time in the World") ever written for any movie in the series -- is reasonably well represented on this CD. Barry had already begun adding more diverse and complex orchestral pieces to his underscoring and greater lyricism to his songs with the preceding movie, You Only Live Twice, and he continued the process with On Her ...
