John Williams brings Olympic grandeur to Call of the Champions, a collection of his celebratory concert works, pressed here as a limited 180 gram edition on translucent turquoise vinyl.
Few composers have been asked to write for the Olympic Games as often as Williams, and this 2002 release centres on the piece he composed for the Salt Lake City Winter Games that year. Alongside it are other works written for great American occasions, showing how comfortably his gift for melody moves from the cinema to the stadium and the concert hall.
The title track opens the record with surging brass, pounding percussion and a choir chanting the Olympic motto, building into a theme of real ceremonial sweep. "Summon the Heroes," written for the 1996 Atlanta Games, is another highlight, a stirring fanfare that gives the brass section a chance to shine before blossoming into a broad, lyrical melody.
Throughout, Williams conducts with the clarity and drama familiar from his film scores, moving from noble fanfares to quieter, more reflective passages with ease.
Anyone who loves Williams beyond the blockbusters will find a rousing reminder here of what he can do with a blank page and a great occasion. The turquoise vinyl makes it a handsome piece for any orchestral shelf.
