Thank you, Michael, this was very useful!
No worries . One thing that did strike me as curious is that only eight of the ten vocalists who make up the Ten Tenors are credited in the liner notes. Adrian Phillips and Jeff Teale are not mentioned.

This raises an interesting question: How many tenors is too freakin' many tenors?

Curious since i recall seeing John Barry conducting a piece in the "making of" video.
Oh well, better if i just wait and judge later when i get the album.

The liner notes are a bit confusing when it comes to the conducting credits for individual tracks. I can only assume based on the video that John Barry conducted one or more of the tracks featuring his music (the track he's conducting in the video is 'Places', which is the interpretation of Out of Africa). Nicholas Dodd definitely conducted all the non-Barry tracks though.

Ah, now it's confusing again. And that's the problem. No conductor is specifically credited. We can assume it's Dodd. But why didn't they give JB the conductor's credit when he did it?

Apparently, Barry conducted none of the album. Whatever you see on the video was probably just for the video. None of the orchestrations are by Barry either.
Still I hear the three new Barry songs are very good.

They're not very good. More like freaking awesome!. 'Just to See Each Other Again' is one of the best songs Barry's ever written as far as I'm concerned. Full of drama and timelessness and tragedy in a way that only Barry knows how to write. Of course credit must also go to lyricist Don Black, who has clearly lost none of his gifts.

Rather old news to some around here, but still interesting. The "Here's to the Heroes" album reached gold-sales in Australia a couple of months ago, according to TTT's website:

I like the new songs or rather the songs written for other projects and not used for various reasons. Orchestrations are bit over the top for my taste, I prefer something a little more laid back. Good version of You Only Live Twice. Barry's final album project is OK but doesn't really compare to Beyondness or Eternal Echoes but by this point John was all but retired and not in great health.
