Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Listening to Rachel Portman's score, you find yourself wondering if she misread the assignment sheet and thought she was working for an adaptation of the Dickens classic made by Masterpiece Theater, not one by troubled, thoughtful cinéaste Roman Polanski. The music here is lovely. Portman, whose other works include Nicholas Nickleby and Emma, is very skilled at evoking 19th-centure ambiance without falling into pure mimicky of that period's classical composers. But "lovely" isn't necessarily what one might expect from Oliver Twist. It's all very quiet. How could something titled "Escape from Fagin" be that subdued?

And yet so it is. "The Murder" reprises similar themes with the same results. The Prague Philharmonic (a popular orchestra who's recorded everything from Dr. Strangelove: Music from the Films of Stanley Kubrick to the heavy strains of black metal band Dimmu Borgir) does its best, but one wishes for more depth throughout. Polanski is never afraid to stare straight into the darkness; Portman should have felt empowered to do the same. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

5 out of 5 stars A fantastic score.......2007-05-07

I love this score, and would recommend it to any fans of the recent adaptation of "Oliver Twist" or Rachel Portman. In this score, you are taken into the cruel workhouse, the English countryside and the twisting streets of London. There is not much else I can say about this CD - not just because it is so good that I want the reviewer to hear it for themselves, but because I do not do so well in reviewing CD's - and will simply recommend this CD to fans of the movie or Rachel Portman.

5 out of 5 stars GREAT!.......2006-03-20

I found this movie absoloutly stunning. It was marvolous. so wonderful, i couldnt even get up to go to the bathroom! i can not even speak of how good it was! BRILLIANT! MAKE ANOTHER ONE! I WILL BUY SO MANY OF THEM! EVERYONE LOVES THEM, ALL OF MY FRIENDS.. WE ALL TLAK AOUT IT AT SCHOOL AND EVERYWHERE WE GO! THIS MOVIE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!!!

3 out of 5 stars Good but somewhat repetitive.......2006-01-12

I think the soundtracks great, but the same melody seems to be carried out through almost all of the songs. It's great to listen to kind of in the background, but if you want to listen to something to actually LISTEN to it, it's not the most intruiging.

5 out of 5 stars One of Rachel Portman's Best Works.......2005-12-03

Pay no heed to the reviewer below. Any references found to themes from The Godfather are entirely coincidental (there are MANY three-note themes that sound similar; doesn't mean a thing. . . I mean, it's three notes!!) and, in fact, you could point to Portman's music leaning a bit toward sounding like more like Wojciech Kilar than anyone else and that's quite understandable due to director Roman Polanski's affiliation with that composer for quite some time.

What we have in Oliver Twist is pretty much the Rachel Portman we've always known, only now she's reached into unfimiliar territory for many of her listeners: dark, brooding themes and lots of minor key tonal centering. The score features a few notable themes, but only two are central to the score: Oliver's Theme and Fagin's Theme. Both of these themes are juxtaposed against one another effectively to create quite the wonderful English-sounding musical backdrop to Dickens' dark yet quirky character tale.

Portman's sensibilities towards strings and winds remain as strong as they ever have been, only this time she relies much more on use of the double basses and lower wind instruments to create carefully brooding textures for the more gloomy sections of the score. Her rhythmic action motifs are repetitive but effective and the simpler portions of the score are exquisitely well done and precisely orchestrated.

Overall, this is one of the biggest film score surprises of the year and I heartily recommend it to all Portman fans and especially to film music fans who have been disappointed in the 2005 film score year on the whole. This is a score to be long remembered and one to which Dickens himself would, I believe, give his approval.

2 out of 5 stars Anyone else catch the Godfather references?.......2005-10-21

The soundtrack is OK, but the latter half of the new Oliver Twist film uses a theme (Wanted: Bill Sykes and a Fierce Dog) that's extremely reminiscent (to put it mildly) of a major Godfather theme. I mean, to the point that I found it extremely distracting in the film. It's the same three note riff that's so important to some dramatic scenes in Coppola's film.

5 out of 5 stars The best stereo recreation of a 40's film score ever.......2004-01-13

At last, it is finally on CD, in gorgeous digital stereo, and beautifully performed--and complete. Perhaps even hypercomplete.

This is the first stereo recording of Sir Arnold Bax's score for the classic David Lean 1948 film version of Charles Dickens's immortal novel, "Oliver Twist". This recording includes not only the complete score, but some pieces that were wisely deleted before the film's release. Their deletion is no loss to the film; the inclusion of these pieces would have made otherwise powerful scenes seem excessively melodramatic. An example is the second cue on the CD--a piece meant to underscore the movie's opening scene, in which Oliver's pregnant mother struggles toward the workhouse amid labor pains and a violent thunderstorm. As now seen on film, the sequence plays with virtually no music, and no dialogue, just crashing thunder and lightning, and it is a testament to David Lean's intelligence as a director that he chose to leave it that way rather than musically underscore it.

For the rest, the music is beautifully and evocatively played, and conductor Rumon Gamba wisely does not alter any of it by changing its tempo, making the score sound excessively soupy, or diminishing the somber mood of any of it. There are several new digital recordings of old film scores around in which the music simply does not sound the way it does in the film, and I don't mean pure sound quality. Some conductors simply cannot resist imposing their own "interpretation" on the music, but Rumon Gamba is thankfully not one of them.

The "Oliver Twist" music plays for exactly an hour, counting all the formerly omitted pieces as well as the two versions of the final cue (the first is the cue as played in the film; the second is the cue as Bax originally composed it). The sound is breathtaking, and allows us to finally hear Bax's orchestrations in lush stereo detail.

The filler on the disc is from the music Bax composed for the short "Malta G.C.". It is pleasant, but not nearly as impressive as the "Oliver Twist" score.

Rush to get this one. Bax's "Oliver Twist" is one of the finest scores ever written for a film version of a novel.

Album Description

Follow-up to the Christie Malry's Own Double Entry soundtrack album comes more poison pop from the ex-Auteurs & Black Box Recorder main man. The Oliver Twist Conspiracy (subtitled, Or What is Wrong With Popular Culture) highlights Haines distinctive songwriting & is yet more splendid stuff, cast in the same characteristic Haines-ian mode of shabby glamour & twisted tunefulness that we've come to expect from the self-styled Curmudgeon Of Pop. Arrogantly wonderful & wonderfully arrogant. 2001.

5 out of 5 stars Another sinister and incredible classic from LUKE HAINES!.......2001-11-09

This is LUKE HAINES's first solo LP and it's just as amazing as the latest AUTEURS stuff. (my personal fav is the BAADER MEINHOFF album... that's a perfect classic!). This Lp is great.. short.. but great. There's more ELECTRONIC beeps and sounds on it but plenty of guitars. My favorites are: "What Happens When We Die", "I Shot Sarah Lucas", and "The Spook Manifesto"... all songs are great though. This is NOT a happy lp.. but if you are an AUTEURS fan, you should know what to expect. This is another great LP from the sinister and wild mind of LUKE HAINES.

4 out of 5 stars Mortality Songs.......2001-08-19

The Oliver Twist Manifesto is Luke Haines's rage against the culture of conformity (the first words are "This is not entertainment"; his targets include Christ, St. Germain des Pres, Valerie Solanas, Kim Wilde and, of course, the English press!). TOTM is closer in tone to Black Box Recorder's hymns to English self-hatred than The Auteurs angular punk. It's strangely touching. Incongruous emotions poke through the contemptuous veneer. Mortality informs these songs. In "What Happens When We Die", Haines offers paltry solace to the daughter of a terminal cancer patient. On "Christ", he counsels a musician (who may be called Luke Haines) to, "at the age of 33 and 1/3", stop hiding behind pseudonyms. "Rock and Roll Communique No. 1" begins with the clicking of a clock stealing time - or the ticking of a bomb; with Haines it's hard to tell. His scathing ambiguity gives Haines work its continued power.

4 out of 5 stars The Bitterest Man in London.......2001-08-15

Crankier than Mark E. Smith, more vindictive than Morrissey, Luke Haines is the black cloud inside Britpop's silver lining. Given that he peaked with After Murder Park five years ago, Haines has still managed to produce a startlingly good body of work in the Baader Meihof and Black Box Recorder records of the more recent past.

The present disk is an improvement on the last Auteurs album, though it never reaches as high as the giddy, tongue-in-cheek single The Rubettes. Instead, what we get is a number of nasty little songs aimed at pop culture in general and the trend-setters of London's club scene in particular. A couple of tracks, and a number of the recurrent musical motifs, are repeated from the soundtrack to Christie Malry's Own Double Entry. Haines' ability to sprinkle his rather basic melodies with half-subliminal Hammer Horror sound effects and strings has grown over the years, though his deployment of the most basic drum machine tracks annoys. Still, the title track, Christ, and the Spook Manifesto rank with the best of the man's work. Worth getting it before it's deleted -- which won't take long given the determinedly unfashionable quality of everything Haines does.

5 out of 5 stars Totality for the kids.......2001-07-29

The Oliver Twist Manifesto is dope, baby, dope.

5 out of 5 stars Luke Haines returns with his new Oliver Twist Manifesto.......2001-07-25

a cool new cd from the Auteurs frontman and Black Box Recorder artist...the cd has many Phantom of the Opera type sounds mixed with Haines bitter lyrics about the changing world...his motives are not always clear, and yet that lends to the appreciation of the work. The best tracks are Oliver Twist, Mr and Mrs. Solanas, Discomania, and Christ. This record is definitely not for the mass audience..but those who appreciate Dylan, the Smiths, and attitude will savor the sounds

      4 out of 5 stars Great forgotten scores!.......1999-07-24

      The Hermann recordings on this disc are invaluable as a source for some of the forgotten contributors to film music, the British. Walton's overture to "Richard III" is rendered with with superb color and rumbustiousness. Lambert's "Anna Karenina" comes off hauntingly beautiful, as is Vaughn Williams' "49th Parallel." The scant two selections from Sir Arnold Bax's wonderful (and only) score to the 1948 David Lean adaptation of "Oliver Twist" is rendered a bit deliberately by Herrmann; but all of the wit, rich texture, and glorious animation of Bax's masterful composition is done justice. [Silva America has made a fuller recording of Bax's score--over 14 min. worth--on their recent "Great British Film Music Album," (taken from Kenneth Alwyn's sadly out-of-print complete recording) but unfortunately--as with Herrmann's recording--excludes "Oliver and the Artful Dodger," one of the score's most stirrng highlights.] Herrmann's rendition of Arthur Bliss' "Things to Come," however, is absolutely magnificent, perfect. Bliss' awesome score is inspiringly evocative, from it's ominous opening strains to it's wonderfully melodramatic Finale. Unlike most of today's film music, these are no mere "backgrounds," but dramatic utterances that stand up as classic compositions on their own! Other recordings along these lines also recommended, Rhino's Korngold compilation "Music From the Golden Age;" Koch International's recording of Herrmann's much underrated "Devil and Daniel Webster;" and Marco Polo's "Historical Romances - Korngold, Newman, Steiner."

      5 out of 5 stars Rare music, worth every penny, awesomely played........1998-11-05

      I admit that it was Bernard Herrmann's name conducting the National PO that got me interested in this disc. I knew Bennie had a thing for French impressionists (and conducted a few of their works), but where else did his interest lie? Why, the British impressionists, of course, so the inclusion of Bax's music from Oliver Twist is no surprise. But the star is Constant Lambert's music from Anna Karenina, music so achingly beautiful that it will haunt you for days (would you expect less from the composer of, no I'm not kidding, Mr. Bear Squash-you-all-flat). Less in the impressionistic mode are the usual suspects of British cinema/concert hall fame: Walton, Benjamin, and Vaughan Williams. Don't think you'll be listening to "background" music here. These men were not slumming and each piece stands perfectly alone without any visuals. This is exemplified by Arthur Bliss' Things to Come Suite, a score which cries out to get a full recording, but until then, Herrmann's reading is good to have. Sound quality is excellent from London circa 1975. Highly recommended. s

      We were one of the first to get this CD. If you are looking for the GOLD STANDARD ROD MCKUEN, this NOT it. However I thought the CD was a pleasent departure for Rod, but my "other-half" did not like it. She has been a longer fan of Rod than I have. I found the beat to be good, however Rod tends to wander abit... Something different tho.
