5.0 out of 5 stars GEORGE HARRISON STANDS TOPS ON EVEREST SOUNDTRACK!, January 27, 2001

By	Jay Siekierski (STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. USA) - See all my reviews

Everest Soundtrack (Including The Music Of George Harrison)/ARK 21 is a CD that demands your attention. This is the soundtrack music to the IMAX Film Experience/MacGillivary Freeman Film. The original orchestrated film music score & arrangements are by Steve Wood & Daniel May and is absolutely beautiful, hypnotic & spiritually uplifting. But! The big surprise is that a number of ex-Beatle George Harrison's music is incorporated and interwoven magically into the other music. George's song "Life Itself" is the silver thread throughout a number of the soundtrack's music. George is not performing new guitar tracks or new variations of his past works, samples are used as with "This Is Love". The musician's ensemble perform various Harrison songs that are spun in their own golden beauty against marvelous orchestrations. My Fave? "Life Itself" & the stunning orchestrated/band ensemble's "Here Comes The Sun" is breathtaking! Need fresh music to clear your mind or meditate to? Get this CD. A+

5.0 out of 5 stars This will be one of your favorite CDs!, April 15, 1999

By	Robert the Wizard ([e-mail]) (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

This work offers one of the most remarkable musical soundscapes ever created. The soundtrack thematically features the music of George Harrison ("All Things Must Pass," "Here Comes The Sun," "Give Me Love," and others) woven together in a symphonic tapestry. The brilliant score of Steve Wood and Daniel May includes chanting monks, the Northwest Sinfonia, the memorable Uilleann pipes of Eric Rigler (featured on the "Titanic" soundtrack) and the multidimensional flute offerings of Richard Hardy. (It is rumoured that George Harrison contributed his guitar genius on some sections.) This CD will appeal to everyone who wants a powerful journey to a deeper space in a distant land. This music leaves you feeling great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Inspiring Music, March 21, 1999

By A Customer

Original soundtrack the IMAX motion picture which, once I saw it, immediately prompted me to buy the CD. The score by Steve Wood and Daniel May plus arrangements of the music of George Harrison, gives the film just the right emotional backdrop. From exotic Asian instrumentals and the chants of Buddhist monks to uplifting segments by the full orchestra, this CD never fails to takes my breath away. I listen to it every day on my way to work!
