SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 6:09 Min.
As Track # 25, Erich Kunzel & The Cincinnati Pops Orchestra revisit James Horner’s theme for their 1996 Symphonic Star Trek instrumental album.
REVIEW:
It’s a virtual replica of the original 1984 theme. The drawback is Horner’s own unimaginative recycling. Though Star Trek III’s primary theme is still good, too often it sounds like a lukewarm suite left over from his Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan score. Including elements of Alexander Courage’s signature Trek theme, this track offers some welcome nostalgia for Trekkers.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 6½ Stars
