Munich Soundtrack CD

Easily one of John Williams's finest film scores of the early 21st century, this album finds the prolific composer offering up appropriately moody orchestral pieces for Steven Spielberg's acclaimed drama, MUNICH, which is based on events following the massacre of Israeli Olympic athletes in 1972. From the mournful "Munich 1972" to the tense "Letter Bombs" to the pensive "Avner's Theme" to the gentle "End Credits," Williams's string-driven music effectively conveys the dramatic ebb and flow of Spielberg's masterly movie.
