5.0 out of 5 stars THE FILMSCORE THAT CHANGED MY LIFE!, January 16, 1999

By

This review is from: Dangerous Beauty: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

The film score to "Dangerous Beauty" is the piece de resistance from its brilliant English composer George Fenton. It is undoubtedly, the finest work of his career and quite simply "the world's most exquisite music." This rapturous score brought me back to LIFE. It inspired me in so many creative, spiritual and physical ways (I even lost 50 lbs by listening to it while walking!) The music starts out in a nostalgic mood and in turn, becomes playful, hopelessly romantic, adventurous, bittersweet, heartbreaking, joyous, and majestic! It carries you from simple guitar lines to passion-filled love themes, bright march tempos that compel one to laugh & DANCE; lilting contrapuntal tunes, tension-building rhythms, royal flourishes of brass, haunting melodies and a full orchestral finale. I have listened to this magnificent music EVERY SINGLE DAY since its debut and I NEVER get tired of it! It ALWAYS fills my heart with love and sends my spirit upwards! I pray you will have the blessing & opportunity to share it with YOUR soulmate. Perhaps, it will change your life,too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect souvenir, 'cause the tracks are in order!, June 16, 2005

This review is from: Dangerous Beauty: Original Motion Picture Score (Audio CD)

This is the soundtrack for one of my favorite movies of all time. While the music is gorgeous, the highest praise I can give this particular album is this: the music on the album is in the order in which it is heard in the film. Most scores are mixed up, probably for aesthetic reasons, but that can make it hard to line up the music to the film. This score CD is in order, so when I listen to it, it tells the story. So when you hear "Second Poetry Duel" after "First Poetry Duel," you know why, and the music follows.

Now, if you haven't seen the movie, the music here is still perfectly wonderful, sweeping and romantic. The score is pleasant and light, evoking Renaissance Venice (though the music itself isn't particularily period) and doesn't crash over your head. I recommend it highly, along with the film for which it was written.
