Editorial Reviews

The BBC season of three Sherlock Holmes films was the summer hit of 2010 in the UK with over 7.5 million viewers watching the first episode. Starring Benedict Cumberbatch in the title role and Martin Freeman as Dr. Watson the stories cleverly bring Conan Doyle's famous characters into the world of modern day London. The music, composed by David Arnold and Michael Price, received BAFTA and Emmy nominations and won an RTS Television Award.

4.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Emotional In Parts, Repetitive in Others March 13, 2012
Format:MP3 Music
What bothers me about a lot of soundtracks is that they sound more like music to fit scenes than actual music for just listening. As in, they have weird breakdowns and soft spots that don't actually fit the music. Thankfully, this album contains several songs that just work and have excellent ebs and flow of emotion (like "War").

I love the TV series and so I enjoy the music reminding me of the series--but after a while, some of the songs just end up sounding the same. I get they needed to do this for continuity throughout the series, but I think they could have pushed the boundaries a little bit more. All in all, it's a very enjoyable soundtrack.

While you may be familiar with Robert Downey, Jr's Sherlock there is another Sherlock also solving mysteries. This one is not scored by Hans Zimmer, but rather the great David Arnold and Michael Price. Sherlock is the highly acclaimed series on BBC that takes a modern spin on Sherlock Holmes as the iconic detective solves crimes in today's society. Now, I do have to start off by saying that anybody familiar with Hans Zimmer's scores will notice some similarities here. This series started a year after Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes hit theaters, and one cannot deny the influence Hans Zimmer's score had here. However, this is by no means a cheap rip and is very enjoyable.

David Arnold and Michael Price craft a really great theme that finds itself popping up now and then, and the soundscape is perfect. There is the right amount of quirk in the score to give it a smirky twinge. The instrumentation does give it a period feel, which uniquely contrasts with the modern setting of the show. Throughout the album you'll find some great textures and flavors all the while maintaining really energetic arrangements. Overall the score is immensely enjoyable and the only questionable part is why does the soundscape feel "period-ish"? I feel like that it's great to remind the audience of the origins of the character, but if the instrumentation made it feel a bit more modern then I think the score would stand on its own much more. In the end you can't shake the fact that at times it feels like Hans Zimmer's Sherlock Holmes. Otherwise though the music is top notch and another shining light from BBC television.

I really enjoyed this listen. It's a great adventure score with a lot of fantastic qualities. The music moves with precision and there's plenty on this album to keep you going. My gripe about the style may be a personal thing, and it really doesn't affect the quality of the music. It's just that since I'm so familiar with Zimmer's version I just can't seem to get it out of my head when I listen to this one. Maybe that's a good thing for some, but I feel like this Sherlock could have used a fresher identity.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fine Form For Sherlock May 1, 2012
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I am a huge collector of soundtracks from motion pictures & television. After seeing Sherlock on my local PBS station, I couldn't get the music out of my head. There's "something" about it that just wouldn't leave me alone. When the CD became available for Season One, I had to have it. Since that time, I've consistantly played it till I think I've put laser grooves in the darned thing. Arnold & Price know what they're doing to hold the listener: to bring that listener to "experience" emotions whether it's building to that utmost moment of suspense or to give you subtle hints with mysterious musical bridges since Sherlock is the name of the game (mystery & action, oh man, how we love it!).
With Season Two just about upon us as of this writing, I can't see how Arnold & Price can miss with another Sherlock soundtrack. Keep them coming! And thanks!

Only thing wrong with the Sherlock series is not enough episodes (yet). Please make more! Meanwhile, the music contains all the essence of the program and is always entertaining.
