This is a case
where two of the finest composers worked for the same film. A rare phenomenon
that produced a CD that remains in the best selling list worldwide. The
first nine tracks is Jones's half and the last 6 (without including
the final song performed by Clannad) is Edelman's half.
This epic,
romantic movie with plentiful action needed the appropriate score to
touch the audience and make it feel like a wandering Mohican. Jones
achieves that by composing a great theme using strings and violins.
A rare theme that since someone hears it never forgets it. Edelman
could not achieve something like that. To be honest Jones wrote the
appropriate epic music but Edelman composed music that could surely
fit at the Horse Whisperer!!! The combination is unsuccessful and
what you will remember after listening to it is only the first 9
tracks, Jones's music.
Anyway... music like this
you won't find elsewhere. Tracks 1,2,3,6 and 8 are my favorites. And
the entire CD is one of my favorites. Buy it and you will be added to
the list of the millions of buyers that brought the movie to their
hi-fi. For me... is just another MUST for your collection! |
