Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
David Lean's extraordinary widescreen dramatization of T. E. Lawrence's odyssey into Arabian culture is among the most ambitious and exalted of screen epics, rich in visual splendor, historic detail, psychological nuance, and exemplary performances. Count French composer Maurice Jarre among the stars, for his single line main theme has become among the most instantly recognizable in screen music, evoking the vast sweep of the desert horizons with a perfect synthesis of the exotic and the romantic. As a musical reflection of the English Lawrence's own romantic fascination with Arabian culture, Jarre's overture and various film cues make this an enduring classic. --Sam Sutherland

One of the greatest scores ever!.......2004-07-24

Maurice Jarre's Academy Award Winning score to "Lawrence of Arabia" is pure delight. It contains great music from the film and sounds excellent. If you're looking for the soundtrack to the film, get the original and avoid the newer re-recordings by Tony Bremner which sound nothing like the Original.

Any Reviews For This Particular CD?.......2004-05-17

I was looking for reviews for this particular CD and all I see are reviews for the DVD. Oh, well. I didn't rate this CD with a single star--Amazon forced me to put something there. Again with the "oh, well."

moon and stars.......2002-09-26

This cd is a beautiful thing. The music captures both the english and arabic characterisitics of the movie. However not the character of Lawrence, which would be ,like lasooing the moon and stars and putting them in a little box..... the movie scratches only the surface of the being in question not giving him justice , making him too much a hero, (he was a human with failures) . However his being described by himself in 7 pillars as "a crystal, many facets) he cannot be caught up in any space or described adequately with music. But the music hints at the exquisiteness of his spirit.

A Masterpiece.......2000-03-08

"Lawrence of Arabia," one of the most compelling character studies ever captured on film, is the story of T.E. Lawrence, the eccentric British officer who united the bedouin tribes of Arabia against the Turks in World War I. The story unfolds in the haunting beauty of the vast, harsh, and unforgiving deserts of the Middle East.

Maurice Jarre, through eloquent musical composition, gives voice to both the man and the desert. Lawrence was a man conflicted by personal ambition and a romantic image of the Arab cause. Jarre's crisp, syncopated musical rhythms vividly portray the exotic Arabian culture that so appealed to Lawrence. The majestic moments of the score, however, are reserved for the desert. Jarre's sweeping orchestrations blend with David Lean's expansive visual images to evoke the raw, physical power of the desert. This unforgettable synergy of sight and sound is perhaps the finest ever recorded on film.

The music on this CD is not presented in the exact sequence in which it appeared in the movie. It is of small consequence. I have collected soundtracks from numerous motion pictures over the past 40 years. This is one of the finest musical scores in my collection.

Should be on everyone's top ten soundtrack list.......1999-07-08

Jarre's music from "Lawrence" to "Witness" to westerns and other epics show that classical music hasn't died, it just changed form. Check out his son, Jean Michel Jarre, who is also considered a national treasure in France.
