5.0 out of 5 stars Goldenthal's Genius, January 23, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Titus: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

In a time when so many motion picture soundtrack recordings are nothing more than compilations of rock n' roll songs featured, albeit briefly, in their respective films, it's wonderful to find a completely original score. The film has not yet arrived in Denver but on the strength of Goldenthal's past work, I immediately picked up the CD. It is an amazing mix of musical styles and sounds blended together to create one of the most interesting and enjoyable film scores I've heard in some time. Mr. Goldenthal ranks among the best of today's film composers: John Williams, John Barry, Gabriel Yared, Jerry Goldsmith, and others. His musical instincts and talents help enhance our motion picture experiences.

There aren't enough words to describe how brilliant and exciting this score is! This is, without a doubt, Mr. Goldenthal's most bombastic, most creative, and most monumental piece of film score work to date. The film may not have been well noticed or recieved, but they did good by releasing an hour long score from the movie. Jam-packed with powerful themes, brilliant jazz ensemble pieces, and chilling melodies, Titus is a score that any film score fan shouldn't hesitate to pick up! It is truly Mr. Goldenthal's finest score to date!

5.0 out of 5 stars Stunning diversity, April 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Titus: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

Goldenthal found the perfect tone to complement this over-the-top, gaudy, gory film. The music plays extremely well by itself, however. Like the film, it combines many eras and genres of music, from heavy orchestral works to modern swing jazz to industrial rock to atmospheric dissonance. Goldenthal feels at home with all. The music, is, by and large, all way over-the-top, but it's very fun to listen to.
