The only Musical of one of Hollywood's greatest Film Composer, John Williams

Just before the score of 'JAWS' went on to win an Oscar for best score and the movie was nominated for best picture, John Williams wrote his one and only stage musical, THOMAS AND THE KING, based on the life of Thomas Beckett. This cast album (principal members) was recorded a few years after its West End production and various original stars came back to the studios for it's production.The orchestrator for this musical score was Herbert Spencer, who has carried on his collaboration with John Williams on most of his great classic movie scores right up to the present day. Completely re-mixed and re-mastered into Digital Dolby Surround Sound, this first CD release of the recording will perfectly compliment all other CD releases of John Williams film scores.
