5.0 out of 5 stars John Ottman truly is the King!, December 14, 2000

This soundtrack is beautiful! I have admired him for the music from "H2O" and "The usual suspects" but this album is a true masterpiece. He mixes Jewish/Gypsy violin with the Nazi like drums that sends chills down your spine in the Main title. What can I say? The album is powerful and it sweeps you off your feet completely. Yet the soft parts are so wonderful, they could get a stone to cry. If you like Ottman's previous work, you will love this. Buy this cd and you will not be disappointed!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Effective Soundtrack!, August 27, 2005

This is appears to be a film which was definitely strengthened by the music chosen for it. All of the visual elements of the film are truly enhanced by the soundtrack. They blend and fit together extremely well.

I especially enjoyed the inclusion of the song "Ist Berlin" by Liane. It seems to express a sentiment similar to the Sinatra tune "New York, New York", but with a distinctively German flavor.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Devil's lounge music, October 12, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Apt Pupil (Audio CD)

Man this soundtrack has so much weight to it and it is so evil. The themes are incredible, and I loved the way they are repeated, modified, collide, throughout the entire score. I also like some of the more subtle pieces that fade into the background on the first listen, but are really incredible when you concentrate on them. The usage of piano keys is always incredible with Ottman again, and he is really milking that pattern for all it is worth.
