5 out of 5 stars An older man who can write from the POV of a young woman.......2007-01-13

I loved the novella written by Steve Martin. It was a quick read that I really enjoyed. It is one of those books that is small, but says a lot.

Unlike most book-to-movie projects this one did not dissapoint. It was very true to the story. I love to see Steve Martin playing a subdued character. He is an amazing actor, comedien, and writer. Is there anything he can't do?

I would suggest buying the book as well. You will be able to read it in just a few hours, and it will make the movie even better.

5 out of 5 stars sad, yet beautiful.......2006-10-17

This is my all time favorite original score soundtrack. I call this cd a "night" cd, as I always listen to it when going to bed, or driving home late from work. The music is so beautifully passionate, and yet very sad and haunting. The songs will literally bring you to tears, depedning on what kind of mood you are in. Anyone who is a true lover of music will enjoy this cd as much as I do.

5 out of 5 stars Shopgirl..........2006-06-14

Shopgirl is an elegant soundtrack that is deeply in passion. I was dissapointed like Greenteagirl, because there wasn't any songs from the movie on the soundtrack. I really liked:

Lily & Parrots"

"Carry Me Ohio"

"Make Like Paper"

"Gimme Little Sign"

Performed by Brenton Wood



"I Only Want To Be With You"

But the score was beautiful and sad. It mostly has strings (violens, cellos, etc...) It brought a few tears to my eyes.

Amazon.com

As might be expected, the soundtrack to Hilary and Jackie plays a highly prominent role in this film about the emotionally fraught relationship between two gifted sisters, one of whom is the brilliant cellist Jacqueline Du Pré. Certainly composer Barrington Pheloung--whose credits include the Inspector Morse series and the evocative score to Truly, Madly, Deeply--faced a heady challenge in writing music to be heard alongside Du Pré's rhapsodic, signature interpretation of the Edward Elgar Cello Concerto, not to mention other classical selections. Even so, the resonantly autumnal, neo-Romantic flavor of his score aptly mirrors the narrative's flashback-oriented technique. His insistence on the cello's urgent high register (played by soloist Caroline Dale) creates a poignant musical portrait of its tragically stricken protagonist. Most of the CD, however, is given to the entire Elgar concerto--an especially effective choice as against the usual potpourri of classical snippets. This charged, elegiac, and easily accessible work--Elgar's own valedictory composition for orchestra--becomes a sort of musical metaphor for Du Pré's emotional journey and gains from being heard in its full context. While the performance featured here is conducted by husband Daniel Barenboim, you'll probably be inspired to try Du Pré's never-bettered version of the Elgar on EMI with John Barbirolli. --Thomas May

4 out of 5 stars identified the composer of the tune found in "Holiday Song".......2005-12-16

My father really enjoys the music from "Hilary & Jackie." His mother sang him the tune in "Holiday Song" as a child, as she heard it from relatives who were musicians. I found out from Barrington Pheloung's website that the melody was written by a composer named Johannes Fries, though it was originally attributed to Mozart. Just thought that I'd share that with you, since there apparently are others who are searching for the original music, too. The Elgar concerto is a classic recording, a mainstay in any basic classical library.

4 out of 5 stars ...masterful.......2004-03-04

Undoubtably the main focus of the c.d is the Elgar "Concerto for Cello and Orchestra which is presented in whole. Prior to Jacquelines performance of the work, it was little known, misunderstood, unloved and infrequently played...she was able to probe it's depths like no other person before her, Elgar's "Cello Concerto" needed her. But this particular recording isn't of her best, Barbirolli conducting the London Symphony Orchestra is highly regarded as the best. No two performances were exactly alike and the recording on this disc being her second performance, but it still paints a superb picture of a artist in full bloom.
Barrington Pheloung's score enhances the intense emotions portrayed in the film whether it's anger, pain, joy, depair or hope. Apart from the Elgar, the cello heard is from Caroline Dale...she is able to capture the spirit and sound of Jacqueline.

5 out of 5 stars Absolutely Inspiring.......2001-05-12

Few orchestral pieces are so moving as Jacqueline DuPre's performances of Sir Edward Elgar's Concerto for Cello. The emotion that Ms. DuPre portrays is enough to make me want to grab a cello and play it (too bad I'm a flutist, ha). This album features the entire concerto, as well as several moving pieces composed for the film by Barrington Pheloung. This CD is an absolute must for any music lover.

5 out of 5 stars Hilary and Jackie- The Music that made the film.......2000-02-03

The soundtrack can only be described as inspirational. Listening to the sountrack, which has been so well compiled, only deepens the feelings of loss felt for the late Cellist extraordinare, Jackie Du Pre.For lovers of the film this soundtrack is a must, the highlight definately being the rendition of Elgar's Concerto, by far Ms Du Pre's most highly acclaimed work.

5 out of 5 stars profoundly romantic and tragic.......1999-09-23

Like many others, I was bewitched by the beauty of this music, let alone the uniqueness of Elgar's concerto and brilliant performance of Ms. Du Pre. My heart goes to the family, for their brave attitude and insightful proceeding of Jackie's story. The tune "Holiday Song", which used to be "their" song, I personally remember it from my childhood as a Mozart's tune, called "Lullaby". Unfortunately, I don't know how to get in touch with Jackie's family, but I wonder if anybody else noticed the same thing. My deepest respect for Jackie's art.

4 out of 5 stars Ugly, harsh and brilliant.......2006-06-17

It's easy to imagine many listeners turning off this score after a few minutes or so - the music is not attractive in a traditional sense and there are a lot of `sounds' as oppose to music. The score is unrelentlessly harsh, discordant and terrifying with no comforting upbeat moments and a tone which is always hellish and depressing. The planet Earth has become one big ruin and battleground with few places in which to hide from the beasts and we can feel the characters' constant awareness of the dangers they face. The lighter moments are just as bleak, filled with unnerving suspense and often give way to terrifyingly powerful brass attacks as the dragons make their appearance. The gorgeous main theme does offer a little contrast and hope though, but not much. First introduced in Meet Van Zam, it starts off brooding and quietly heroic and then develops into a superb militaristic statement with snare drums and horns, suggesting that this brave new character may lead them to victory.

As with his later Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, Shearmur's action writing is superb throughout although in a completely different style. However, there is some fun to be had identifying certain sounds and rhythms that Shearmur would again utilise on Sky Captain and there are quite a few...The first track is a highlight, beginning with low rumblings and eerie electronic sounds, gradually getting louder, layering on industrial sounds and low strings. It keeps getting louder until it becomes a scary and powerful piece of orchestra and percussion. It's a great start to the score giving a sense of the beasts' awakening and rise from the depths. Field attack is another highlight - it's exciting and suspenseful with some immensely powerful brass writing and shrilling high woodwinds. Marauders is another favourite using an exciting militaristic rhythm with slicing strings and staccato brass that Shearmur would use again for An Aquatic Escape in Sky Captain. The Ruins at Pembury is another standout cue and is absolutely terrifying. It starts off highly suspenseful and quietly with bass drum hits and a constant swirling electronic `wind' - you just know something is going to happen and it does! The brass comes in again all harsh and discordant and is absolutely deafening and terrifying, sounding like the war cries of the flying beasts. It is a stunning cue and gets me every time because I can never quite remember when that `jump moment' comes. The brass throughout the score is at times some of the most powerful I've heard but none so much as in the penultimate cue, Magic Hour. The brass section here, accompanied by choir, is truly immense, sounding as if it has 5 times the number of usual players - in fact the music is so big and brutal and powerful at times that you forget that these sounds are actually being made by human beings sitting in a recording studio wearing jeans and t-shirts following some strange symbols on a page! The score ends with Rebirth which offers the relief listeners are probably begging for by this stage. It starts with gentle strings, electronics and a beautiful echo like flute effect before developing into a welcome rendition of the theme for Van Zam. It ends with a very brief brass fanfare, the scores' only upbeat moment.

With this score, Shearmur has crafted a masterwork of powerhouse orchestral writing and moody suspense in a similar vein to the kind of modern scoring you'd expect from Elliot Goldenthal or Don Davis for his Matrix scores - it's dissonant and brutal and makes good use of electronic sounds and the arsenal of modern orchestral technique. It's hard to imagine that this is from the same composer who has scored such largely generic films as the `romcoms' Laws of Attraction and Wimbledon but then Shearmur is well known for his versatility. He is however, absolutely wasted on films like that should really be scoring the `big scores'.

For me, Reign of Fire confirms that Edward Shearmur is the best new talent out there. Maybe there are some dull moments here and there but it has the stamp of a master throughout, (special mention must go to orchestrator Robert Elhai for his work here and he would again do a top job on Sky Captain - let's hope its a collaboration that continues).The cues are beautifully crafted, with as much variety and invention that a film like this could allow and the tone is always perfect for the film. The apocalyptic settings are portrayed well in the score and I like the way Shearmur uses the high brass to represent the cries of the dragons. I think that's what makes the score so terrifying; by giving the dragons a voice, they become `real' and perhaps we relate to that on some instinctive level...

Despite the fact that most of Shearmur's other scores to date are not as noteworthy, you should be under no doubt that he will surely become one of the more important figures in film scoring and I would advise you to check out his absolutely stunning score for Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, his best work to date, if you have any doubts.


4 out of 5 stars Reign of Sound.......2003-07-16

Edward Shearmur has again surprised us with an enormous sounding score to the underrated genre film "Reign of Fire". There is no pretty romantic themes here, not even a chance to take a breath during this recordings mass of pure action cues. If you enjoy well performed powerhouse orchestral music that hits you like a black metal band then this is for you. Certainly this score is not for everyone but if you are like me and saw the film and was taken by the score then what you heard in the film is what you get here, 50 minutes and 40 seconds worth of Fire- Breathing Sound

5 out of 5 stars Full of fire and reigns at the top.......2003-01-09

I have not been familiar with Edward Shearmur's scores until this one. I decided to give it a try just for the fun of it and I was blown away. This is awesome music that really burns. For the most part, the music contains tons and tons of brass, eerie electronics, wild string passages, wailing woodwinds, and tons of militaristic percussion, especially the snare drum. There is plenty of exciting action music, heroic passages, and driving rhythms in this score. A lot of what is heard in this score is similar to what Elliot Goldenthal writes largely because the orchestrator of this score, Robert Elhai, Goldenthal uses in just about every score. The London Metropolitan Orchestra performs this very difficult score with remarkable stamina and courage. Knockout and I do mean knockout action music can be found in "Enter the Dragon", "Field Attack", "Marauders",
"Archangels", "Inferno", and "Magic Hour". "Field Attack" contains some exciting and rhythmic string passages, along with driving and militaristic snare drums. "Meet Van Zan" contains the main theme which is found in other tracks as well. It is a majestic and noble horn motif played around a militaristic percussive rhythm. "Magic Hour" and "Rebirth" contain music that is more toward the lighter side, as the other tracks mainly focused on the darker side. The incredible brass fanfare main theme closes out the soundtrack in "Rebirth" that ends things in a heroic fashion. If you are into Elliot Goldenthal or like the score to The Matrix by Don Davis, then you will absolutely love this. This is superb and outstanding film music.

4 out of 5 stars A BIG SCORE!!!.......2003-01-01

If you like your film music to be filled with lovely themes, rich harmonies and an all-round "nice feel" that makes you "feel nice" then do not touch this soundtrack! However, if you often feel in the mood for powerhouse action scoring in the vein of the Alien movie scores or similar violent film scores then grab this awesome soundtrack as soon as possible!
Like so many others I was wary of this one due to the past compositional styles of Edward Shearmur. But what I found was one of the most brilliant action/millitant/agressive scores to come out in years. It never becomes repetative or boring and it is often filled with rich orchestration and wonderful electronic sound effects. Shearmur has now moved up to the big leage in my opinion and I look forward to hearing his work in the future!

4 out of 5 stars Good Score for a good movie.......2002-12-29

I think the music from this movie set a perfect pace for the events in the film. Its an action movie with an action score that goes with it well. I personally think that the music helped move the story along well and helped set the pace in what is a well thought out movie. (and it was a GOOD movie)

5 out of 5 stars Unique fusion of classical and satanic rock, evil vocals, chanting.......2007-04-02

The soundtrack is like the movie. In the movie, a space ship disappears and returns 7 years later. But it is not the same. It now has a personality: PURE EVIL. The music is a big part of the the mood. It is a fusion of classical and satanic hard rock. There are vocals that sound like creepy chanting. The feeling is like a nightmare. The music slows down and speeds up, changes and is explosive toward the end of each track. There are four tracks about 12 minutes each. This is NOT a light CD! You will not be bored!!

4 out of 5 stars Wickedly warped, just like the film........2003-10-25

Excellent mix of techno and classical orchestration. The mood of this disc almost beats out the film in the gloom catagory. A great recording to listen to when the lights are out, it's just plain scary music. MICHAEL KAMEN's best work (next to BAND OF BROTHERS), and when mixed with ORBITAL's electro-drums and a slew of haunting voices, tics, and beeps; makes for a rich, eerie sound environment for fans of the film and not. A great cd for those who really like scary stuff and cool, creeping tempos, EVENT HORIZON is a great soundtrack.

4 out of 5 stars Above average for a dance mix style soundtrack........2003-03-04

Someone took the polar opposite contributions of Michael Kamen and Orbital and mixed them together. The result is a album that tries the recreate the feel of the movie, but is a mish-mash of cues that is hard to place in the mind's eye. The techno stuff does get the heart racing and, while I never have been a huge admirer of Michael Kamen (his stuff just sounds a bit bland to me), composing for this horror/sci-fi hybrid brought something interesting out of him. He should do projects like this more often. Recommended.

4 out of 5 stars A Movie Soundtrack Worth Buying.......2002-04-09

I have bought many CDs based from movies, usually only to be disappointed. This one, however, does not. The mix of techno-beats, classical music and chilling chants will certainly give you goosebumps, if not freak you out. However, there is a problem. The CD is made up of four tracks in total, leaving you to fast forward a fair amount if you want to reach a certain part. Other than that, this is pretty solid. Even if you were only slightly interested in the film I would still recommend it.

4 out of 5 stars exciting mix of orchestra and dance music.......2001-08-28

This is a very different soundtrack. I rate Michael Kamen's work as some of the best, and Orbital is a producers who's been around for years and knows his stuff inside out. The disc is made up of four tracks ranging between 4 mins and 13 mins in length. It is quite spooky in parts, mainly when Orbital's heavily effected drum loops break into the mix. It does add a new dimension to the whol thing, one minute your listening to a nice string section, the next these 909 kick drums and dance loops are interwoven into it. Very classy. My only gripe with this soundtrack is that by the time you reach the last track, its all starting to sound the same. The last (and shortest) track seems to sound more like an edited version of the first track as well. Apart from that, its an excellent and innovative soundtrack. It's a blend of two musical style that sit well with each other when done right, and is something that more composers should incorporate into the scores.

I meant to buy the soundtrack and we picked up the score instead not reading the package and didn't know there were two different CDs... Not only were we pleasently surprised -- it is the best driving music ever... It's smooth and enjoyable... So, for a party -- the Soundtrack with Funk is down -- but just to relax -- pick up the score.

This is an awsome score. Each time a muppet cd comes out, I never have time to buy it. Whenever I go to the store to buy it, it's out of print. KEEP THIS ONE IN PRINT FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY.

    4 out of 5 stars Darkly playful music.......2000-09-26

    I'm a big fan of Goldenthal and it's interesting to see what he does from film to film (his collaborations with Neil Jordan produce some of his best stuff). 'In Dreams' finds the composer experimenting with some different sounds, sometimes to great effect. His style is a little looser here, but still familiar (there's still the thunderous brass and tragic strings)even allowing for a little experimentation with guitars. There is a reoccuring theme throughout the music which some will approve of and some will consider mearly redundant. Track 1 is a winner is as "Rebecca's Abduction" and "While we sleep". While not a score that stands firmly apart from the image/film (I'm thinking his score for "TITUS"), it's one to own for anyone interested in one of the most poetic voices currently working in film music. (Also, if you get a chance to, check out the film!)

    4 out of 5 stars A leap from 'Interview With the Vampire.'.......2000-02-24

    Goldenthal's most interesting score to date. An eclectic mix of creepy industrial and synth soundscapes, appropriate songs, and his usual frenetic stomping and highly excitable dramatics. Happily, this is more experimental than his other offerings, and very moody with its combination of squealing guitars (Scytheoplicity)positioned next to synth loops (Wraith loops) and industrial noise (While we Sleep). At times this could be classified under alternative in your local music store. Then we get the regular Goldenthal - an orchestra going hell for leather, with a force-driven brass section, or his gentle but terrifying lone violins. Dream baby, the song at the end, music by Goldenthal, lyrics by Neil Jordan, is an odd, lilting hymn to end on but utterly beautiful. If you liked SPHERE then this goes one step further. A composer who becomes more interesting with every score, and this is possibly his finest.

    5 out of 5 stars Great movie , even Greater soundtrack.......2000-02-23

    I don't usually buy soundtracks . Come to think of it, I only bought "Pulp Fiction." But when I heard that ethereal music at the end when the woman is reunited with her daughter, I had to buy it. If you like that song, then you would definitely like the song "My weakeness" on Moby's latest "Play." Also, this album has those kind of tracks that bind well to each different scene. It's not corny, but very sophisticated.

    5 out of 5 stars A great cd to listen to........1999-11-09

    I really liked this cd. If you saw the movie then you'll know what i am talking about. If you ever get the chance to see this movie, then you should get it. It's full of suspense, horror, and some drama. It's really good and I recommend that any can see it.
