THE EXTRA-TERRESTRIAL, SCHINDLER'S LIST and the first three HARRY POTTER films. Winner of twenty-one Grammy Awards, four Golden Globe Awards and five Academy Awards, Williams is easily the most recognized composer working in film today. He has a long association with Steven Spielberg, composing music for all but two of Spielberg's feature films, most recently on the Academy Award-nominated scores for THE ADVENTURES OF TINTIN and WARHORSE. Review: Subtle yet Spectacular - Everyone knows (and should know) John Williams. Because of his partnerships with George Lucas, Chris Columbus, and the great Steven Spielberg, we are used to hearing extravagant orchestral scores that can't possibly be imagined without the silver screen behind them. However, on Spielberg's new film Lincoln, both the director (Spielberg) and the composer (Mr. Williams) take a new approach. Lincoln's score is subtle, "felt, not heard" in a sense. Williams demonstrates supreme taste and maturity by tactfully introducing the music at key moments in the film, and adding to its subtle grandeur. Just like in his other scores, the musical themes are synonymous with particular characters or emotions. With that said, the music is absolutely beautiful. You will hear a blend of sweeping Americana in the style of Copland, but also a delicate folk side. It is important to note that Mr. Williams hired music historians that specialized in the Civil War era to help him accomplish an accurate and idiomatic sound. Another highlight is the fact that the Chicago Symphony Orchestra recorded the music. The orchestra lives and breathes like one big soloist. The blend and phrasing is phenomenal. You'll never hear a better brass section than CSO's. Williams uses all the cohorts of the ensemble: militaristic percussion, warm brass choirs, and the light sounds of the woodwind choir. The strings aren't ignored either, and they provide the main emotional framework of the score. The reason Williams hired CSO is because Lincoln was actually from Illinois, and he wanted to pay tribute to this great American figure by using the closest major orchestra. Lincoln's soundtrack is not nearly as extravagant as E.T., Star Wars, Indiana Jones, or Harry Potter, but it contains a beauty that is so subtle that it is to be commended. The more I listen to the soundtrack, the more I appreciate what Mr. Williams has done. 5 stars, hands down. Review: Like a fine wine, JW gets better and better - It saddens me to see there are reviews that try to compare John Williams recent output to that of his past. As a serious orchestral composer, I have watched and listened to him grow artistically in a manner reminiscent to our masters of the past 300 years of music history. He's not going to write music like he did 30 years ago. His orchestration style has become more dense and focused, his melodic lines longer and more complex, his harmonic palette ridiculously advanced. This is master craftsman and our nation's greatest living composer at work. And in LIncoln, those talents are openly displayed. The music is simply breathtaking, beautifully orchestrated and as dense as ever. Yet the clarity of line as of late never ceases to astound the ear. At times I feel Williams channeling Mozart or Ravel. What I mean is that there is a richness and complexity to the music yet every line is crystaline and seems that it inevitably had to sound like this. The Chicago Symphony plays with precision and sweeping dynamics, reaffirming their status as One of the Five. Easily one the year's best scores. I was particularly stunned with Malice Towards None and it's passionate string lines. Highly recommend this one. Like Waxman, Goldsmith, and Korngold, John Williams' music functions as a strong support or emotional center to the image its written for as well as standing up as serious concert music. A remarkable feat. ## Images ![Lincoln - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71SDH3yN3sL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Subtle yet Spectacular *by K***A on December 3, 2012* Everyone knows (and should know) John Williams.

A remarkable feat. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Williams and Spielberg Collaborate Again: "Lincoln" *by G***S on November 19, 2012* Once again the happy collaboration (40th,they say) between director Steven Spielberg and composer John Williams has resulted in something quite memorable. Spielberg's "Lincoln" is simply one of his best efforts (can we ever again think of Abe Lincoln as Raymond Massey or Henry Fonda after Daniel Day-Lewis) and one of the great motion pictures of the year; and Williams' score is a perfect fit for the last full measure of Lincoln's life. The score is somber, solemn, loving and introspective without being maudlin (and let's avoid use of the word "melancholy") and pure Americana without bombast or cliché, and echoes now and again of Aaron Copland's "Lincoln Portrait" (probably by intent). There are also moments that playfully recall frontier roots and the amiable nature of quite honestly the greatest President in the history of the republic. It is also a nice touch that Williams conducts the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus. This is one of the finest film scores of the year, on the screen and on this album, for an equally fine film. Solid production values and nice packaging by Sony. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/10699787-lincoln](https://www.desertcart.com.sa/products/10699787-lincoln) --- *Product available on Desertcart Saudi Arabia* *Store origin: SA* *Last updated: 2026-09-06*
