Original London Cast: Thomas And The King, CD

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 was recorded a few years after it West End production and various original stars came back to the studios for its 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.
