It's been twenty-five years since Macaulay Culkin was left Home Alone at Christmas. In celebration of the movie's anniversary, Sony Classical is pleased to release the 25th Anniversary Edition of the Home Alone Soundtrack with music by five-time Oscar-winning composer, John Williams. The score was nominated for an Academy Award and the main title song, "Somewhere in my Memory," was nominated for an Academy Award and a Grammy. Featuring original Williams' music, the album also features classic Christmas songs including "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" with Mel Torm and "White Christmas" with The Drifters. In a career spanning almost six decades, John Williams has composed some of the most recognizable film scores in the history of motion pictures including Star Wars, Jaws, the Indiana Jones films, E.T. 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. Through his career, Williams has worked closely with Steven Spielberg, composing music for all but two of his feature films, and most recently on the Academy Award-nominated scores for The Adventures of Tintin, Warhorse and Lincoln.
