Editorial Reviews

This intense first feature by actor-turned-director Todd Field daringly ventures into an emotionally unsettling minefield of family and romantic relationships gone dangerously wrong. Field, hailed for his masterful touch with the difficult material, shrewdly chose Thomas Newman to score the film. Known almost as much for what's not in his frequently modernistic scores--i.e. traditional dramatic themes and overwrought orchestral sentimentality--Newman once again follows his experimental muse to great effect here. The work is considerably less percussive than similar compositions he's attempted, and he succeeds by a less-is-more strategy that's unafraid to let spare piano notes hang in the air like haunting spirits or concoct intriguing, inscrutable studio-enhanced sound washes conjured from acoustic and electronic sources. But that's not to say Newman's operating from formula: the understated strings of "Baseball" betray a masterful understanding of tradition, and three a cappella choral cues performed by the Newark Balkan Chorus impart yet another compelling layer of humanity to the score. The scion of Hollywood scoring legend Alfred Newman again shows his musical instincts are all his own as he continues to gratifyingly redefine the art of modern film scoring. --Jerry McCulley

A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

Good mix of film music.......2006-07-02

Good mix of films!
I'm a big fan of this soundtrack music and will be looking for more CD's like this.

A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

Uplifts your soul, takes your mind into the heavens.......2006-01-06

I have been listening to great scores for many years and this collection is truly inspirational in so far as the choice of different scores takes you on a journey of listening pleasure matched by only a few collections.The price is incredibly reasonable for hours of listening pleasure. Don't pass this one up

weak, repetitive.......2003-07-07

I am a big fan of Thomas Newman. This is just too much the same on every track, unless you like the Balkan dirge(s) for variety.

In The Bedroom Motion Picture Soundtrack.......2002-08-31

After seeing this brilliant film three times, I eventualy knew that I had to have the soundtrack. After listening to all of the CD'S lush and powerful tracks, I realized that this is Thomas Newman's best and most carefully composed score, because it so perfectly fits and aligns precisely with the film, its characters, and the mood of each scene. I am very disappointed that Oscar did not even consider this for a Best Original Score nomination. Not only the score, but the film as well should've received more acclaim because it truly was the best film of the year.

Don't waste your money and electricity.......2002-07-30

After reading 2 reviews about this here - I thought I would try out the CD.
I have not seen the movie but the soundtrack really is not for listening to as an entity in its own right.
Totally void of any musical interest to me and I will assign to the bin - I cannot give this away for sure.
What a waste of resources this is...

"award winning score...his best ever...Thomas Newman".......2002-04-02

This powerful drama shines while director Todd Field takes charge with his debut at the
helm...outstanding cast of players Sissy Spacek (Ruth Fowler), Tom Wilkinson (Matt
Fowler), Nick Stahl (Frank Fowler), Marisa Tomei (Natalie Strout), William R. Mapother
(Richard Strout) each giving an outstanding performance with nominations and wins from
Sundance, Academy, American Film Institute, British Academy Awards, Broadcast Film
Critics Association, Golden Globe, National Board of Review, New York Film Critics Circle
and Screen Actors Guild...takes this family drama to a psychological bleak plain.

However, composer Thomas Newman has tailored each cue to fit the film...total perfection
claims the screenplay and the actors respond...this has to be the finest score ever, in
Newman's career...cannot think of one soundtrack recently that compares to this gem...he has
sculptured the music to each individual on the screen...piano melodies bring out Newman's
creativity that takes you into the film, pure musical drama rings clear from Evanne Weirich
(director) of the Newark Balkan Chorus and the Hollywood Studio Symphony with from the
heart orchestration.

Standing ovation for ~ Robert Townson (executive producer), Varese Sarabande, Bill
Bernstein (producer) and soon to be legendary in the scoring department ~ Thomas
Newman...this is a keeper for the many "film-score-buff" collectors out there, gotta love it!

Total Time: 30:40 on 19 Tracks ~ Varese Sarabande 302-066-319-2 ~ (2002)

IN THE BEDROOM SOUNDTRACK IS IN THE BAG FOR OSCAR.......2002-01-21

Thomas Newmans soundtrack/score for "In the Bedroom" is haunting, surreal, poetic, uplifting and sad at any given time.

I honestly have never heard a soundtrack to a movie besides "Gattaca" that fits a movie with the soul and feelings of the characters and the moods of each scene.

Newman hits gold with a soundtrack that is as subtle as the actions of its characters and the movie that surrounds it.

Definitely my pick for OSCAR soundtrack, along with Spacek as Best Actress, and Marisa Tomei defies all odds showing her real acting chops with a supporting role of a life time that deserves and should get a nomination to overcome the "My Cousin Vinny" fiasco., also Tom Wilkinson (My Full Monty) shows compassion as the father of the broken down family where the soundtrack curves around these 3 characters molding the music to their every move, nuance, sound and gesture.

An outstanding film and a soundtrack that if I could give it 10 stars I would, that fits the movie like a glove. Hats off to Thomas Newman who took a score that actually feels like the people and movie that was made.

A Great Entry Disc For Modern Music.......2004-05-24

I can't think of a more "user friendly" way for those listeners who find Berg, Schoenberg & Webern somehow "too atonal" or "too intellectually complex" to get more exposed to that musical aesthetic. As just one example: the music Rosenman composed here for the Planetarium sequence in "Rebel Without A Cause," dealing with the creation of the Universe, is music of eloquent chaos - and it's right out of the 2nd movement from Alban Berg's Violin Concerto! Not a literal "lift and use" like film composer James Horner is so frequently guilty of (he used the slow mmvt. of the Shostakovich 5th in both "Patriot Games" and "Clear & Present Danger"), but more of an homage to Berg.

It boggles my mind that in 1955 film audiences in record numbers came to see this film about teenage alienation - and got exposed to the New Vienna School quite by accident! Adams' conducting is gorgeous, and the recorded sound is superb.

Rosenman was a pupil of both Schoenberg and Roger Sessions. I am also rather fond of his score for Ralph Bakshi's animated version of Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." Rosenman went on to supervise the wonderful classical music selections used in Kubrick's film "Barry Lyndon." Kubrick here - and in "2001" and "The Shining" - probably did more for putting classical music in the mainstream than any other film director.

A word in Rosenman's defense.......2002-11-07

Michelle Kwan fans, I understand your need to warn others that this is not the cd you expected. But for those of you who are just interested in intelligent film music, it really doesn't get any better than this. Here's a man who really understands the needs of a film, what film music should do, and what music should do. Anybody interested in well constructed '50s film scores should pick this up immediately.

East of Eden.......2001-02-16

The album that supposedly has the East of Eden version used by Michelle Kwan is Beastmaster/Spash/Going Home.

Wrong CD.......1999-04-01

Not really a review. Just a clarification the piece skater Michelle Kwan used was composed by Lee Holdridge.

Passable, but not memorable.......1999-03-06

I was so excited while watching a tape of Michelle Kwan skating to "East of Eden". I had heard the music for years and could never remember the name. So, when I discovered there was a recording of it, I was enthralled. To my complete disappointment, the CD skips over the most lucid and poignant lines of the melody in favor of a sampling approach. I will probably never listen to the CD again. My only hope is Michelle will keep her program for a while.
