DESCRIPTION

Summon The Heroes is an album by legendary composer John Williams, performed by the Boston Pops Orchestra. This album, featuring works by Williams, Leo Arnaud, Carl Orff, Leonard Bernstein, Dmitri Shostakovich, and others, certainly counts among the Baron, founder of the modern Olympic Games, his "opportunities for beauty." Some of the works come from the Games themselves - Josef Suk's "Toward a New Life," indeed, won a silver medal in the 1932 Olympics for musical composition - other from what might loosely be called the "spectacle" inspired by the Games. Many fit nicely into the fanfare style that characterizes the opening ceremonies; others capture the solemnity of the occasion, culminating in the Olympic Oath. Taken together, they provide a splendid soundtrack not only for the centennial of the modern Olympics, but for the entire drama of the Olympic phenomenon.

 

Summon The Heroes is available for the first time on vinyl as a limited edition of 800 copies on translucent yellow coloured vinyl and includes an insert with liner notes by music journalist Jackson Braider.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are a European label and for the majority of our releases, we only have the European rights, meaning that they’re produced for the European market only. Because of this, these releases are not available for purchase at our MOV shop.

Are you located outside of Europe? This is most likely the reason why the product is not available to you. We are sorry for any disappointment that may have caused!

If the record is essential for your collection (which we would understand), we'd advise to search for European shops or marketplaces.

A pre-order product is a product which still needs to be produced. So, after your purchase, you won’t receive this product immediately. We strive to send these on the Release Date which you can find on the product page under the collapsible tab called “Details”.

Keep in consideration that manufacturing processes can always turn out to be delayed so this Release Date, acts as a guideline.

When the ordered item is in stock, we always aim to dispatch your order as soon as possible.

The pre-order articles have an (expected) release date listed on the product page. We usually ship out these pre-order articles several days before the release date, to ensure that you will receive the record on - or as close as possible to - the release date.

If you place an order with both pre-order items and items the MOV Shop has in stock, your entire order will be shipped on the latest pre-order date of any of the pre-ordered items. If you do not wish to wait, please place separate orders.

This means that some products can differ from how they look on our website compared with the physical product. On our website, we create mock-ups with give the best possible representation of our product. However, due to the unique pressing process of some off these products, we can never guarantee that this looks exactly the same. This can mean that colours might differ slightly from the represented colour on our website. Please make sure to keep this in mind when shopping on our website.
