5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent film, impressive soundtrack, February 8, 2007
This review is from: Curse of the Golden Flower (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
I have to say that i had the chance to watch the movie in China, and the sountrack is great.

If you like films of Zhang Yimou, with enormous battles, tragic stories (chinese drama), you will like this soundtrack, but watch the movie first.

Also has a some ballads, very soft, as usual in chinese cantopop style. Those songs rigth now are in the top of chart of MTV China.

This soundtrack is just for those crazy for China as I.

From the south of the world

5.0 out of 5 stars Exotic music from Far East!, February 24, 2007
By 
This review is from: Curse of the Golden Flower (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (Audio CD)
I didn't have time to go and watch the film....
I bought the CD, a few weeks ago...."blindfold", because I'm conviced so far, that Asian composers are doing a terrific job, when they are composing music for films.
What I'm trying to say is... scores like... The 7 Swords, Fearless,
Crouching Tiger-Hidden Dragon, Hero and House of Flying Daggers, have very high dose of
that "magic and exotic", music scale of Far-Eastern music! (music scale is a progression of notes in a specific order).
The score becomes "sonic explosive" with the additional touch of Epic music-structure. This "mixture" also contains, great chorals and great solo china-flute "passages" from a live flute master-player......or it's a Japanese "shakuhachi"???
Great China-gongs, drums all over with the final result.... to be simply amazing!
We are used in the western world, to hear scores that sound almost alike.
Is it because the western composers, have no more "ideas"?
I don't know what is wrong, but one thing is for sure.....
Trust the Asian composers!
Buy this CD!
It's excellent with a lot of China "flavor"!!!
A big Bravo to the composer!

PS: Please read the comments below..... By the way.... Many thanks to Eriko Kawahara.
I was informed my Eriko Kawahara that the composer is Japanese!!!
