3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Quite do Zimmer or Da Vinci Code Due Justice., June 5, 2007

By	shaadp (Florida) - See all my reviews

This particular music piece only caught my eye because it was music performed from the movie The Da Vinci Code. And of course, it didn't hurt that it was Hans Zimmer's music being played considering I am big fan of his work. But, do not let the title or group performing fool you. This is not a full orchestra, and I question as to whether I should even use the words orchestra here. I was excited about this particular work because I truly desire to hear a lot of Zimmer's music played free of synthesizers and performed by full orchestra, woodwinds, strings, brass, and all the free-ranging orchestrations, variations, and interpretations to his original work that has a chance to present itself. And this comes nowhere close. There are clearly synthesized strings, brass, and other miscellaneous instruments that are haphazardly thrown together, making it difficult at times to discern if the material is Da Vinci Code or not or even if an actual real instrument is included in the ensemble. Listening to this, I envision maybe 10-15 people standing on stage rotating between keyboards, maybe one violin/cello/bass on stage, and miscellaneous percussive items. I do admire the performers for their effort, but as a film score/classical fan, this one might not ever make it back to my CD player...EVER!

If you are looking for the full, beautiful sounds expected from an orchestra or similar to that of the soundtrack, this is not a good buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Helm_A.M., December 27, 2006

By	Andrew M. Helm (Pullman, WA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It should be noted that this is not the soundtrack to the movie. This is simply music from the movie... played by an excellent orchestra. Minor detail but it's missing a couple of tracks that the soundtrack has. However, if you're after the stirring music you heard during the movie, then this will not dissapoint you... and you'll save a couple bucks.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad., June 9, 2009

By	Christopher Dowell - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you like synthesized music that sounds almost like the actual soudtrack then this is not bad. Pretty good actually.
I still like the original soundtrack though. Just my opinion.
This disc is still not bad.
