Sheba and her young lover are in her 'lair / studio' in the back yard?
February 19, 2008 | | nice moments but there are better film composers | |
Philip Glass is a good composer. I can't say i hated all of the soundtrack. When he doesn't go back to the minimalist patterns there are some moments of beauty. But most of the time i must say the music was too melodramatic and moving when the film didn't ask for such texture.
This CD might be something nice to hear on your free "I love philip Glass" time.
But as a Soundtrack i think it made the film more romantic than it is.
I must say the hours worked better.
September 20, 2007 | | Varied, non-repetitive and seems to tell a story all its own | |
This score makes the film. It is also varied, non-repetitive and seems to tell a story all its own. I have dozens of soundtracks I listen to while I work (write) and consider this one of the best for the dramatic genre. Better than the Illusionist (by the same composer).
June 6, 2007 | | Somewhat less than noteworthy | |
Knowing it was nominated for Best Musical Score and after being entranced by his music to The Illusionist, I eagerly looked forward to Glass' music to Notes on a Scandal. After repeated listenings it falls short of my expectations. There just isn't enough to it. It seems somewhat spartan and uninspired. Themes are understated but pleasant. It almost feels like simple background music that does not have much power to lift or color a scene. The Illusionist is far better, nearly hypnotic, and should have been nominated for an Oscar for Best Musical Score.
May 12, 2007Another 5 star soundtrack for a 5 star movie. Beautiful and yet haunting music that sets the perfect tone for the movie. Philip Glass is an epic composer. Not since Hitchcock's Psycho have I ever heard such music that creates the ultimate mood of the movie. It just made sense and fit the script perfectly, as movie music should. It's music that you'll be thinking about soon after the credits roll by. If you are a fan of such classical strings, add this CD to your collection today.
