A trio of noted Australian musicians–Iva Davies, Richard Tognetti and Christopher Gordon–composed the film’s score. They previously collaborated on “The Ghost of Time,” a piece commissioned for the Millennium celebrations in Sydney, which came to the attention of Peter Weir. The director was so impressed, he played the piece on the Master And Commander set throughout production, and …
Though a well-publicized marriage did much to raise his celebrity profile, Guy “Mr. Madonna” Ritchie’s claim as one of the world’s most promising young filmmakers was already secure. Extending the gambit he began on Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, the English director’s handpicked collection of pop songs for his jewel heist romp Snatch is a dizzying delight …

This disc combines two of Carter Burwell’s best soundtrack efforts for the Coen brothers, Fargo and Barton Fink. It’s a study of contrasts: Fargo is filled with somber string arrangements and a full orchestra playing in minor keys. Barton Fink, meanwhile, sounds more adventurous with offbeat instrumentation (a very gamelan-sounding keyboard prevails) and a simple score that Burwell …

The Legend of Bagger Vance: Music from the Motion Picture (2000 Film)
Robert Redford’s fable of a cynical, young, white war veteran (Matt Damon) learning the perfect golf swing–and the meanings of life–from a mysterious black caddy (Will Smith) is typically rich in subtexts, from racial discrimination to armchair existential philosophy. As she did for the period dramaThe Cider House Rules, English composer Rachel Portman imbues Vance with an American …
Suleyman the Magnificent is the soundtrack for the film of the same name which focuses on the life of the great Sultan of the Ottoman empire. Sultan Suleyman reigned from 1520-1566 and was renowned as a consummate reformer of law and administration. His was a golden age of art and architecture. Brian Keane’s soundtrack …
Burt Bacharach put aside the drama of his work with Dionne Warwick for a romp through the sex farce that made Woody Allen a hit screenwriter. The giddy playfulness and tongue-in-cheek sensuality of the music is put aside only once, for Warwick’s “Here I Am.” Other songs, of course, include Tom Jones’s title tune and Manfred Mann’s read …
Sci-Fi Channel – Sci-Fi’s Greatest Hits, Vol. 1: Final Frontiers
This first installment of Sci-Fi’s Greatest Hits opens, appropriately, with two famous pieces, “2001: A Space Odyssey” (a.k.a. the prelude to Strauss’s Also sprach Zarathustra) and “Star Wars” (a.k.a. John Williams’s variation on Holst’s The Planets), and further mines film and TV history for interstellar anthems. Much of this stuff is predictable; different selections from films like The …
