A lovely recording,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Cirque Du Soleil: Journey of Man (Audio CD)
This recording is the music from the motion picture "The Journey of Man", released in May of 2000. The film is playing in select IMAX theaters around the world, but none-unfortunately-are near me. I thought perhaps I shouldn't invest in the soundtrack of a movie I hadn't seen, that I would only be frustrated and bored by references I couldn't experience.But such is not the case. The music is wonderful--lush, rich, pictoral in and of its own right. The CD is totally self contained and musically enriching to the listener. The composition of Benoit Jutras is stunning, and the musicianship is flawless. Invest in this recording, even if you never have a chance to view the film.

Pleasantly surprised!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cirque Du Soleil: Journey of Man (Audio CD)
In all honesty, I wasn't really expecting this to be a great CD, and the first song (being kind of light-rock and sung in English) made me think that this was going to be a rather pandering, commercial CD. But it grew on me after a few listens, and the rest of the tracks are great. I love the arrangement of "Reveil", "The Forest" is a nice play on some of the "Quidam" musical themes, and it is just so wonderful to have a recording of the Banquine theme. I think that this CD should not serve as an introduction to Cirque music, but for those who are familiar with Cirque (and Jutras' compositions), this is a fantastic addition.

The most pleasurable listening experience,
This review is from: Cirque Du Soleil: Journey of Man (Audio CD)
The music on *Journey of Man* brings to mind a spring evening. Skies embued with subtle shades and barely there clouds. A soft breeze carrying the undefinable scent of the season. It's infinitely soothing.I had the chance to see *Journey of Man* on an Imax screen and as wonderful as the movie itself was, the music was even more enchanting. It's one soundtrack that can truly stand apart and be appreciated on its own. From listening to this cd you will be invited to feel a beautiful kind of melancholy, revitalizing energy, and subtle strains of menace. For a writer, or a dreamer, it's a must. You will forget yourself within minutes of first turning it on. If there were no sight, only sound, *Journey of Man* would be the music to live by.
