Although only lasted two seasons, the pass of time has converted the TV series produced by Steven Spielberg in one of those more fond of the gender's fans, as well as one of the most wanted for the film music fans due to the long list of big composers that collaborated on it. Now, almost fifteen years later, the first edition of this material arrives including the Main and End Titles of the series, written by John Williams, as well as two of the more known episodes: The Mission, directed by Spielberg himself and with Kevin Costner as protagonist, narrates a history with a fantastic end centered in the World War II, and Williams' music incorporates some of his best pages (Jonathan Begins to Draw/The Landing); and Dorothy and Ben directed by Thomas Carter, with beautiful (although too much brief, as usual) music of the great Georges Delerue. Stupendous versions conducted by John Debney and Joel McNeely, at the head of the Royal Scottish National Orchestra that we hope will be the first (but nos last) contact with the material of the series.
