Review by Tree Schlosser

The Classic Film Scores Of Dimitri Tiomkin Lost Horizon, performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra and conducted by Charles Gerhardt, is an exceptional album that captures the essence of classic Hollywood film scores. The album features the music of Dimitri Tiomkin, one of the most renowned and influential film composers of the 20th century.

The album is a tribute to Tiomkin's masterpiece, Lost Horizon, which won the Academy Award for Best Original Score in 1937. The National Philharmonic Orchestra delivers a powerful and emotive performance, bringing to life the grandeur and majesty of Tiomkin's compositions.

The album includes several pieces from Lost Horizon, such as "The World Outside," "Share the Joy," and "The Man Who Knew," all of which are beautifully arranged and performed. The orchestra's rendition of "The World Outside" is especially noteworthy, as it captures the sense of wonder and discovery that the film conveys.

Other highlights of the album include Tiomkin's compositions from other classic films, such as High Noon, The Alamo, and The Guns of Navarone. The orchestra's performance of the iconic theme from High Noon is particularly impressive, conveying the tension and drama of the film's climactic showdown.
