I've been listening to this soundtrack almost continuously since I got it last month. I liked John Ottoman's soundtrack for X2: X-Men United, but this soundtrack is in another league altogether. The initial melody is haunting, and Ottoman sustains the themes well through changes in mood and plotlines. And his conducting cannot be improved upon.

I have a lot of soundtracks in my library, but this is one of the best.

5.0 out of 5 stars This movie soundtrack is excellent!, May 16, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Usual Suspects: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

The music to this soundtrack is very moving and mysterious. My favorites on this soundtrack are "Main Theme", "New York's Finest", "The Greatest Trick" and "Les Sons Et Les Parfums Tournent Dans L'Air Du Soir". The use of the violins and other string instruments is ingenious while sometimes being uplifting and other times leaving one with a sense of urgency. The piano is played beautifully. The incorporation of the flute and the oboe, in conjunction with the violins, permeates a sense of peacefulness, while sometimes yielding a feeling of sadness. It's very hard to describe. This is one of my favorite movie soundtracks.

Tremendous movie, Tremendous soundtrack ! Powerful, gripping and extremely well conducted music that you just don't get to hear too much of anymore in soundtracks.
