4.0 out of 5 stars A Anglo-Russian Symphony, June 25, 2000

By 

Mr. Christian Lauliac (Paris France) - See all my reviews

This review is from: East West (Original 1999 Film Score) (Audio CD)

Composer Patrick Doyle ("Henry V", Hamlet", "A Little Princess") teams up for the third time with French director Régis Wargnier. East West in an unquestionable triumph, brimming with grand string elegies ("The Land"), a virtuoso showcase for pianist Emanuel Ax ("The Race") and Mr. Doyle's beautiful writing for string. This epic score will appeal to soundtrack fans and classical music lovers alike, because the whole CD flows like a symphony or a tone poem. The CD is very well engineered and the playing by the Bulgarian musicians is very enthusiastic. This CD i highly recommended and I wish Mr. Doyle would gain more recognition. In my humble opinion he is one of the top film composers around. East-West displays ample proof of his melodic and dramatic talent. Pick this one up, fast!

This score impresses me as one of triumph in which evil is ousted by the good, and the human spirit prevails over oppression.

I love this CD. It is very intense and meaningful music. Of particular interest to me is track 25 ("The Land") which is a beautiful operatic rendering of the theme from track 8 ("The Church"). If anyone knows where to find the lyrics (in either English or in Russian) I would be grateful to know. I would recommend this album to any fan of soundtracks or of classical music. The featured pianist is really quite spectacular as well.
