Physical Condition:
Everything arrived intact and in perfect condition.
Liner Notes:
The liner notes are mostly standard credits and expressions of gratitude, BUT the very last page has a wonderful tribute to some important women heroes! Truly, the crew who worked on this album were touched by the story of "Hidden Figures".
Music:
This album contains the orchestral score. The songs with sung vocals and lyrics (except for choir and a few vocal solos) are on the Original Soundtrack album.
The music in this album is a wonderful product of collaboration by many artists. The principal architects are Hans Zimmer, Pharrell Williams, and Benjamin Wall Fischer.
I have enjoyed listening to this score many times over since it's release. I remarked to my wife how nice the score was when we were seeing the film in theaters, and it has held up over many hours of playback. Some film scores may become a bit repetitive and trudge along with a wall of noise after a while, but "Hidden Figures" features a very nice, lightly handled mixture of orchestra, jazz, and choir. The piano is the standout instrument and plays the thematic melodies of Katherine's successes throughout the story. It is not as brassy or patriotic as James Horner's "Apollo 13", but it isn't telling the same scope of story. This film is much more intimate and the score therefore portrays the resilience, intelligence, and determination of the women in this story (with just a dash of the straightforward complexities of mathematical equations). It's not rocket science - it's great music about rocket scientists.
