Editorial Reviews

Intrada is proud to announce the release of Mark Isham's score to the hit ABC TV series Once Upon a Time that premiered last fall. Isham needed to come up with a score that spanned the entire spectrum of emotions -- not only breathing life into quieter moments, but also being romantic, sweeping, and epic. The result was a score for the series that is both beautiful and heartfelt and has become integral to the fabric of the show. For this release representing music from various episodes, Mark Isham has compiled over an hour of music carefully produced to provide listeners with a musical journey that captures the essence of the show. This release also features five different collectible covers, but the contents of all discs remain the same. The show focuses on Emma Swan, whose life has been anything but a fairytale. A 28-year-old bail bondsperson, she s been taking care of herself since she was abandoned as a baby. But when Henry the son she gave up 10 years ago finds her, everything changes. Henry is desperate for his mom s help and thinks that Emma is actually the long, lost daughter of Snow White and Prince Charming. Even stranger, Henry believes that Storybrooke, the sleepy New England town he calls home, is really part of a curse cast by the Evil Queen, freezing fairytale characters in the modern world with no memory of their former selves. Of course the seen-it-all Emma doesn t believe a word, but when she gets to Storybrooke, she can t help sensing that everything s not quite what it seems...

5.0 out of 5 stars I love it! May 7, 2012

I just finished listening to the whole CD and I loved it! Every song is very beautiful and inspiring. This is the 1st time that I actually like all the songs on a CD so that's why I just had to give it 5 stars. I also like that although you get a random picture for the cover, the booklet still contains the other 4 pictures :D, just not with the cover's text of course. In my opinion this would make a great gift for any Once Upon A Time fan!

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely classical score May 10, 2012

I've been waiting for this soundtrack to come out for months. The score to "Once Upon a Time" expertly complements the action on the screen. Mark Isham does a wonderful job of heightening the emotions in all the right spots. The music easily stands on its own, though, for the listener not familiar with the show.

Stand out tracks:

The four songs previously released on iTunes- 1)The Orchestral Suite, 3)The Queen's Curse, 6)Belle's Story, and 9)Things are changing in Storybrooke (all of which are great, especially the first track).

Other awesome songs are 8)The Huntsman, 14)Unhappy Endings, 16)The Siren, 18)Hope Will Return, 19)Rumplestiltskin In Love, and 21)The Road to True Love.

My favorite track is the haunting, devastating Rumplestiltskin in Love (featured in the "Skin Deep" episode, when Rumple is breaking his castle and Mr. Gold is beating the flower guy).

5.0 out of 5 stars Mark Isham captures the spirit of Once Upon a Time May 17, 2012

I have a few of Mark Isham's soundtracks downloaded as MP3s (Secret Life of Bees, A River Runs Through it). There was a mini soundtrack of OUAT available for download and I fell in love with the music. I am happy to receive a full soundtrack but I hope it is also available for download in the future. When music is this good, it becomes a part of the story rather than noise in the background. I look forward to Isham's scoring for Season 2.
