Professional Review:
Like its various galaxy-hopping protagonists, Star Trek has undergone a remarkable journey in its 30-year history, rising from canceled 1960s television ratings casualty to become one of the most successful and long-running franchises in history. A key to its success--and crucial human dimensions--has been the symphonic music of some of Hollywood's brightest film-scoring talents. Using Alexander Courage's venerable original theme as a starting point, those musicians (represented here by Jerry Goldsmith, James Horner, Leonard Rosenman, Jerry Fielding, Cliff Edelman, and Dennis McCarthy) have performed the musical equivalent of alchemy, both keeping a tradition alive and imbuing the films and television series with an ever-expanding vocabulary of wonder and emotional resonance. This CD captures the prime of that musical essence, from Courage's original theme, through Fielding's humorous Tribble-hunt, to the new thematic dimensions of Goldsmith and McCarthy. And fear not, Next Generation fans, the title's absence here does not equate to a musical shortcoming. Its theme is represented by Goldsmith's work on the first film adaptation, whence it came. --Jerry McCulley

   Summary: "entire history of the TV & Movies Scores"
Varese Sarabande presents all newly recorded music in spectacular digital sound and features Glasgow's Royal Scottish National Orchestra, London's Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and America's Seattle Symphony Orchestra, performances conducted by Jerry Goldsmith, Cliff Eidelman, Fred Steiner and Frederic Talgorn. It's an international, all-star tribute to Gene Roddenberry's classic science fiction masterpiece - "The Ultimate STAR TREK".

One of the most successful franchises in both film and television history continues to renew and reinvent itself to this day. The world of STAR TREK has been through 35 years of metamorphoses. We've seen generations come and go...Captain Kirk, Mr. Spock and Dr. McCoy...Captain Picard, Ryker and Data...Commander Sisko and Captain Janeway. We've seen the Enterprise, Deep Space Nine and the Voyager...the Klingons the Romulans, the Cardassians and the Borg...they are all here, on this the "ULTIMATE" of scores!

Jerry Goldsmith has been the musical captain of the STAR TREK universe for some twenty years now..."STAR TREK:THE MOTION PICTURE", "THE FINAL FRONTIER", "FIRST CONTACT", "INSURRECTION" and "VOYAGER" all represent Goldsmith at his best, he's a living icon. Next, James Horner's famous theme from "THE WRATH OF KHAN" is here...No STAR TREK compilation could be complete without the famous theme from the classic original television series by Alexander Courage.

Varese Sarabande's release, just in time for the celebration for the completion of Paramount's issue of all nine STAR TREK motion pictures on DVD and its continue series of STAR TREK television episode DVD's, as we look back to the STAR TREK lore...includes some of the most famous music ever composed for television or motion pictures, a "movie-music" collectors dream come true...album is dedicated to cover artist Bob Peak: The Art of Star Trek (1927-1992) and his memory!

Total Time: 52:05 on 12 Tracks...Varese Sarabande 066163...(2000)
