5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully composed, March 10, 1999

This review is from: Mikis Theodorakis On The Screen: 4 Complete Soundtracks On 2 CDs - Z, Serpico, Phaedra, State Of Siege (Audio CD)

Mikis Theodorakis is truly a unique and original composer. On the soundtrack Serpico, Theodorakis captures the frustration and pain of Frank Serpico, played brilliantly in the movie by Al Pacino. I was moved to tears by the heart renching violins in the final track of Serpico.

2.0 out of 5 stars Buyer beware, November 29, 1999

Let me make this absolutely clear - I am not a Mikis fan but I'm not speaking to the Mikis fans out there I'm speaking to the Serpico fans and offering a word of warning. I think the Serpico soundtrack is just fantastic. It was one of my first records and some of the tracks from Serpico drift into my head even after all these years but I could never find just the Serpico soundtrack on disc so after years of procrastination I decided to bite the bullet and buy this 2CD set. What a disappointment. The production is muddy and the other three soundtracks featured are nothing like Serpico in style. They aren't totally without merit but if it's just Serpico you're after then look elsewhere.

MIKIS IS DEFINETELY ONE OF THE GREAT COMPOSERS OF THE 20TH CENTURY. IN THESE CDS, HIS CAPTIVATING MUSIC HAS BOTH THE WARM FEELINGS OF THE GREEK MUSIC AND THE UPLIFTING SOUNDS OF HIS GENIOUS, I ONLY HOPE THAT SOME MORE OF THE NEW COMPOSERS COULD TAKE A MOMENT TO SEE WHAT REAL MUSIC IS
