The music you hear on the NBC Olympic broadcasts is pretty much all on this disc.One problem is that on the O Fortuna track, the volume from 00:23 to 01:38 is really low for some reason. Almost inaudible for that section of the song.
It was wonderful as I remembered it. I purchased this CD because my son had it a few years ago and I wanted a copy since he has long left. It has a couple of dirges on it for which I don't care but in general, the music is inspirational and uplifting.
This music stirs the soul and lifts the heart. It is majestic, inspiring, and beautiful. I'll keep it simple: this album is a collection of classical music belonging to a category commonly referred to as the fanfare. Several pieces were written by the conductor, John Williams, who is famous for movie themes like Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars, Memoirs of a Geisha, and many others. I have shared it with several friends and they all agree.
Great soul-stirring music. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Olympics orchestral and similar music.
It's very inspirational & uplifting to the athletes. I use the music on this CD as background when I give awards during track. They love it.
