5.0 out of 5 stars Xena's triumphant musical odyssey, February 4, 2001

This review is from: Xena: Warrior Princess - Original Television Soundtrack (Audio CD)

"Xena: Warrior Princess" is a compilation of music composed by Joseph LoDuca for the syndicated television series of the same name. This is an excellent CD; the music is rich in excitement and emotional texture, and is performed with passion by both musicians and vocalists.

Although the CD has considerable variety, the overall effect is that of tribal, exotic, female-powered, strongly percussive music with a definite Middle Eastern/Mediterranean flavor. Female vocals (both solo and group) are incorporated into many of the best tracks.

Beginning with the show's main title theme, the disc is full of superb tracks. Just a few of the best selections include "Darfus," with great percussive effects; the haunting "Burial," with its outstanding vocal solo; the playful yet sensuous "Gabby Dance"; and the colorful "Quarterman's Festival." Fans of the TV show will definitely want this disc. But even if, like myself, you aren't a regular viewer, you may find yourself enchanted by this music. Alternatingly thrilling and tender, LoDuca's music is a triumph of television scoring.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best!, March 19, 2002

This is really the best of the Xena soundtracks--it has all the classical themes (The Gauntlet, Glede Ma Glede, The Wrath of Callisto, just to name a few), as well as showcasing the voices of the Bulgarian Women's Choir. If you like Xena, you will LOVE this CD...
