5.0 out of 5 stars Great music from great composers!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Highlander: The Original Scores (Audio CD)

This soundtrack tells a story. You can't listen without hearing the story of Connor MacLeod and his quest for peace and neutrality. You can't listen without hearing the sounds of the movies that are the inspiration for the music.

The three composers have truly captured the spirit of the "Highlander" movies and franchise, and they have really made the movies seem wonderful, no matter what is said by others of the films and the like.

The music touches you, and you can learn something. From the haunting Highlander theme (Highlander I), to the great rock and guitars of Dam Raid (Highlander II), to the great Final Battle / Quickening 3 / Epilogue (Highlander III), you learn how the soft, soothing music defines MacLeod's character, and how the hard rock defines his enemies or else his struggles. The variations of music help with the story, and the story is excellent.

Thank you very much to the composers! Music defines what we are as people, and what art is. These three composers, no matter what film they worked on for this trilogy, have defined the Highalnder universe through their music.

Music tells a story. It is difficult, but these three gentlemen have truly done it well!

Bravo!

I'll make this breif. The first movie was the best after that things go down hill. If you saw the first movie or the TV series and think this CD has the same music, you will be wrong. This cd does not contain the real soundtrack from HighLander. If you want to hear Queen's Princes of the Quniverse or the full version of Who Wants to Live Forver, Then buy the Queen CD "A Kind of Magic" that cd is the real soundtrack of highlander.

5.0 out of 5 stars This CD brings back all of the memories of Highlander, May 20, 1999

This beautiful CD enables Highlander fans to experience the excitement and emotions of the movie anytime. This is a must for all Highlander fans. Listening to this CD took me back to the Highlands of Scotland and the story of Connor McCloud. I can't give this a high enough rating.
