Stellar Sonics March 24, 2007
Format:Audio CD
I can't believe I'm the first to write a review on this gem here. The music was intended to support the beautiful imagery of the acclaimed BBC series Planet Earth and perhaps did not attract much attention to itself. You simply cannot really appreciate this music when it is drowned by images and narration. But listening to it as I did on a good headphone system, which really supports a concentrated listening effort, makes for a great musical experience. Sonically awesome and musically outstanding, this is trademark Fenton, sure enough, with broad orchestral sweeps and clever modulations. But even if your musical tastes do not care much for soundtracks, you owe it to yourself to get hold of this cd. It does not get much better than this.

NOOO June 20, 2007
Format:Audio CD
I cant believe they left out the best song on the show, when the flowers are opening on the saguaro cactus in the deserts one and the same song plays in the rain forest when the tree falls to the ground and everything else starts to grow...someone find the name to that song please

Excellent Selection December 15, 2008
By N. Sarb
Format:Audio CD
The documentary was a lovely artistic feat. When watching it, I closed my eyes and heard the music. I fell in love with it then.

I decided to buy this CD, and I do not regret a single penny of that purchase. The music is sweeping, varied, and powerful. Some pieces, like The Wolf and The Caribou, stand out as amazing works. I highly recommend this CD for anyone who wants to listen to beautiful music.
