ALBUM

John Williams conducts this uplifting collection of Olympic themes, brimming over with bright fanfares and sweeping pieces culled from mostly contemporary sources. Highlighting the recording is Williams' own "Summon the Heroes," easily recognizable as NBC's primary musical piece during their coverage of the Olympic games. ~ Zac Johnson
