"HIS NAME IS BARRY, JOHN BARRY"...

Love to hear John Barry compositions! His music makes me shiver of emotion! Here some wonderful soundtracks he had composed for great films. The musics of the first two films are my preferred!
Adoro ouvir as composições de John Barry! Fico arrepiada de emoção ao ouvir as suas músicas! Aqui algumas maravilhosas trilhas compostas para ótimos filmes. As músicas dos dois primeiros filmes são minhas preferidas!

  3. I am very familiar with his work and have always enjoyed his music....Music in a film is so very important in every way----I've always been aware of the music in films since I was a child....Barry was like one of the old wonderful composers of the 30's and 40's.....Really really special!

  5. He has certainly written the music for some famous films - everybody's heard his music, even if they don't know it.

  6. It's hard to believe the score for Out of Africa came from the same brain that composed Goldfinger. Thank you for this wonderful selection -- Somewhere in Time was new to me.

  7. Oi, Sônia!
    A trilha sonora de um filme é importante e ajuda a valorizar a cena ressaltando sentimentos. Ele fez mais do que trilhas para os filmes de James Bond e não ficou estigmatizado por isso. Dança com Lobos, não seria o mesmo filme sem a trilha!
    Feliz dia das mães!!
    Beijus,
