Planet of the Apes: Number One at the Box Office -- Soundtrack in Stores Now!
Tim Burton's vision of the '60s cult classic Planet of the Apes
hit the top of the movie charts in its first week of release, grossing almost $70 million.
As with so many other Burton films, Danny Elfman has provided the soundtrack -- this time, a richly
rhythmic, dynamic score, as taut and exciting as the images on the screen.
Check out a sample of the score, including some of Paul Oakenfold's awesome remix of Elfman's title track,
"Rule the Planet," on the soundtrack website.
The multimedia site includes a game, a Planet of the Apes Windows media skin, and much, much more!
(BTW, the first 100,000 CDs include an exclusive Topps Trading Card in the package. Don't wait -- they're running out fast!)
This September on HBO: Band of Brothers
Soundtrack by Michael Kamen Coming Soon
It started with Saving Private Ryan, Steven Spielberg's award-
winning film about World War II. Now Spielberg and the star of
his film, Tom Hanks, have teamed up with HBO to produce Band of Brothers,
an epic mini-series that follows the members of
Easy Company through the Battle of the Bulge and beyond.
The 10-hour series was based on the work of noted historian
Stephen E. Ambrose.
The original soundtrack to the series, with a score by Grammy
Award-winning composer Michael Kamen, will be released by
Sony Classical at the beginning of September. Before then,
though, you can listen to samples of this remarkable score at
bandofbrotherssoundtrack.com.

Latest Word from Hilary Hahn, voted one of American's 25 most influential people by Time Magazine: This time, Philadelphia
After a busy spring that included concerts and recording sessions
on both sides of the Atlantic, Hilary Hahn finds time to write from
Philadelphia. As you'll learn, the violinist performs with an old
friend and a new colleague, and prepares for a summer of intensive
learning (but this time, Hilary won't be studying scores).
Catch the news and the views in Hilary's latest
Post Card from the Road.
Horowitz: A Reminiscence: In Stores Now
The tradition of the piano virtuoso reaches back deep into the
19th century, but the virtuosi themselves were few and far
between. Vladimir Horowitz, who was born in Tsarist Russia
and died in New York, counted among the last proponents of
this great 19th-century tradition.
Horowitz: A Reminiscence is a companion piece to the video
that will air on selected PBS stations in August (check local
listings).
In both the video and on the CD,listeners will encounter the depth
and breadth of the virtuoso's command of the instrument, drawn
from the decades of recordings made for the Columbia and CBS
Masterworks labels.
The website for this album includes an excerpt from the film,
an example of Horowitz's unparalleled interpretation of Chopin,
and notes by Horowitz's longtime record producer, Thomas Frost.
To sample this great performer's artistry,
check out the album site.
