5.0 out of 5 stars A Stroke of Genius, July 5, 2006
By 
Makoto Ueno (Canoga Park, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Richard III: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album (Audio CD)
This soundtrack is worth the buy if for nothing else but the second track. "Come Live With Me" is the first line of a popular love poem "The Passionate Shepherd to his Love" written by Christopher Marlowe, a contemporary of William Shakespeare. Trevor Jones has masterfully adapted a majority of the verses of the original poem to a 1930s-era big band ballroom song, and he even included one verse from Sir Walter Raleigh's "The Nymph's Reply To The Shepherd", a poetic response to Marlowe's piece.

This blend of Elizabethan verse with early 20th century atmosphere is a perfect fit for the movie, and it serves as a brilliant accompaniment to the scenes leading up to Richard's first soliloquy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Thought it was inventive and wonderful, November 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Richard III: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album (Audio CD)
I loved the movie, from the big band song at the beginning to the Al Jolson at the end and I was captured by the dialogue. It was such a great movie that I was glad to get the soundtrack.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can some9one verify . . .?, June 3, 2011
This review is from: Richard III: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Album (Audio CD)
Yes, great soundtrack, perfect adaptation. I ask: can someone tell me whether I am imagining things, but . . . the background music to the final battle scene: the future Henry VII chasing Richard III at Bosworth Field . . is that not an adaptation of Isaac Albeniz's "Asturias" from the Iberian Suite? Thanks!
