5.0 out of 5 stars Forgotten Movie, Memorable Score, February 18, 2000

By	R. J. Teed (Dearborn, MI United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first bought this cd, I never even heard of the movie. But with Jerry Goldsmith's name attached to it I knew it had to be good and it was a great score full of memorable themes including a very beautiful love theme. The movie was likable and the music made the movie better than it was. This cd is lenghthy enough but leaves out about 20 minutes of score available on the hard to find volume two. However, all the music on volume one of the original release is on this cd, so if you like this cd I recommend tracking down volume two which contains interesting additional tracks. If not, this release is sufficient enough and makes for great listening and I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars EXCELLENT!!!, April 26, 1999

By	[e-mail] (Argentina) - See all my reviews

One of the best -if not THE best- works of the genius of Jerry Goldsmith. Lionheart is the kind of score that speaks of its own, without any need of seeing the movie. The main title, as in many Goldsmith's works, is used as the base of many other themes, but without ever becoming repetitious. If you liked First Knight, or "Conan the Barbarian" -though is not as good as this last one-, get Lionheart at once. And if you dont, get it, too!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Little known masterpiece., May 8, 2000

By	Loran S. Christensen (Moroni, Utah USA) - See all my reviews

Jerry Goldsmith is one of the greatest musical minds we've ever had. Listening to his music is a pleasure for anyone.

Lionheart is no exception to this. When I bought the cd I had never heard of the movie before, but a composer like Goldsmith needs no preview. It goes without saying I was more than satisfied. Goldsmith touches every possible emotion with this score.

Goldsmith crafts a score with excellence in mind. I believe had this score been to a better movie it would have contended for an academy award. It upsets me Goldsmith has been overlooked by the academy over his stellar career. He definately diserves more recognition than he has received.

On this cd the premium song is #15. It's a perfect suit to the score. This one is a must buy.
