Rating: A dense forest: among prehistoric plants and ancient rocks, large valleys and immense trees, abandoned labs and unoccupied military bases, with a couple of broken drink dispensers inside. You venture into the flora, but suddenly you hear a noise, and shortly after, a velociraptor emerges from the bushes to attack you, and here come the beautiful and majestic soundtracks of John Williams, indicating everything: cold, heat, peace and quiet, terror, depending on the situations throughout the film.
Have you ever seen the famous final scene with the helicopter and the pterodactyls, accompanied by that beautiful melody, which signifies: it's over, everything is over, time to go home, a feeling of absolute rest? The melodies found in the album: "Theme From Jurassic Park", "The Raptor Attack", "Welcome To Jurassic Park", "T-Rex Rescue & Finale", etc., express all different sensations: in the case of "The Raptor Attack" anxiety, "T-Rex Rescue & Finale" (especially "T-Rex") fear while the other two scenes absolute quiet (I use "Welcome to Jurassic Park", during moments of relaxation, or when I want to focus well).
Oh, yes! Classical music, even that of soundtracks, is unpredictable: fluctuations in sound from high to low, progression, dialogue, etc., and it is difficult to convey these sensations to others, because you need to know what they feel in their heads!
You have to know how to find "universal" sensations, which can "move" more or less everyone, in short, the composer needs to know how to do it, and I think Williams knows how to do it well, very well, otherwise, I would never have reviewed this album.
