4.0 out of 5 stars AN OVERALL POWERFUL SCORE!, August 6, 2007

By

This review is from: Amazing Grace (Original Score) (Audio CD)

David Arnold has delivered fantastic film scores for movies such as "Independence Day," "Godzilla," and the last four James Bond movies. The music he delivers for the movie "Amazing Grace" may not be his overall best effort, but some of the tracks on this CD are among his best work yet. The standout pieces are: 1) Opening Title; 11) We Have Hope; 23) Dying, and; 24) Triumph. The rest of the music is not as good, but solid nonetheless. My only real complaint is that the stirring rendition of "Amazing Grace" on the bagpipes is not featured on this CD, but that does little to diminish the overall power of Arnold's work. While it might not be sensational, it is a fine CD that belongs in the collection of any fan of movie music.
Grade: B+

2.0 out of 5 stars disappointed in the extreme, April 25, 2007

I bought the soundtrack with the hope that the best song on the movie - the bagpipes version of Amazing Grace at the end of the film - would be on it. It is not.

If your objective is to get that bagpipe song, don't get the CD. the other songs are ok, but nothing to write home about.

3.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Grace MIA, January 5, 2008

By 

R Erwin - See all my reviews

This review is from: Amazing Grace (Original Score) (Audio CD)

While the score is very nice, the main reason for purchase was the wonderfully powerful rendition of "Amazing Grace" during the closing credits. It is NOT on the CD! How could they do this? The signature piece is missing in action (MIA)??!! Very disappointing, to say the least.
