Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
A 1996 Academy Award nominee for Best Dramatic Score, Braveheart is one of composer James (Titanic) Horner's most accomplished works. Utilizing the full range of the London Symphony Orchestra, the Choristers of Westminster Abbey, and a small ensemble of traditional folk instrumentalists, Horner largely eschews the bombast typical of the genre and cuts a more emotionally complex--and satisfying--musical course through this 14th-century tale of betrayal and rebellion. This album presents ample evidence of why Horner is currently at the peak of his profession. --Jerry McCulley

A Soundtrack That Doesn't Need the Movie.......2007-06-14

I actually heard the soundtrack before I saw the movie, which, concerning music by Mr. James Horner, is very likely to be the case with me. This powerful score of epic songs is the epitome of a soundtrack, in my opinion, with so much depth and dynamics, I argue it does not even need a movie. Track 5, Attack on Murron, for example, has been used in numerous movie trailers that are not even affiliated with Braveheart. This score is worth the money!

Flaky Flute.......2007-06-13

Ok, but what's with the shaky, quivery, vibrato-laden flute playing all through the CD? If only the flautist had played it straight, this CD would have been so much better. The 'Irish pipes' referred to elsewhere in these reviews are called Uilleann pipes (elbow pipes) and are a sweet and balmy alternative to the overblown shrieks of the banshee bags.

Braveheart Soundtrack Review.......2007-04-12

I bought the cd for my boyfriend because he's a huge Braveheart fan. We listened to it together and it's very good! It's something I would listen to while doing homework because most of the songs are very peaceful while there are some that are more dramatic. It's not something I would drive around in the car listening to, but it's good just the same!

Braveheart Soundtrack.......2006-11-04

I thought this sound track from Braveheart was worth a 5 star.
I recommend this to any one.

A Masterpiece.......2006-10-02

There are only three pieces of music created specifically for a soundtrack that I can say I truly adore. The akira Soundtrack (not for all taste but I feel it fits some moods well), Conan the Barbarian (simply an amazing, inspirational CD that is timeless), and Braveheart.

This CD is simply a great thing to listen to on a Sunday morning. But as with any good music you really need a good sound system to really feel it. Music like this makes me thankful we're no longer limited to crappy speakers and audiotapes. It just wouldn't be the same.

Buy this CD and it will stay with you for as long as you have ears to hear. It's that good. If you don't like this music I hope you go to hell and die.
