Excellence!.......2007-04-22
These recordings range back to 1994, with a number of tracks being from Silva Screen's "Music from the Films of Clint Eatwood" compilation, with Derek Wadsworth conducting the City of Prague Philharmonic.
Those tracks are: "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", "A Fistful of DOllars", "For a Few Dollars More", and "Two Mules for Sister Sara". "In The Line Of Fire' also appeared on that CD, performed electronically by Mark Ayres.
The next bunch of tracks is from Silva Screen's 1996 compilation, "Cinema Paradise: The Classic Film Music of Ennio Morricone", which included the majority of tracks here such as the extensive The Mission Suite, The Untouchables, Casulaties of War, Once Upon a Time In America, 1900, Chi Mai, Marco Polo, Once Upon a Time In The West (two tracks), Cinema Paradise, and The Good the Bad and the Ugly - Ecstacy of Gold, mostly being conducted by Paul Bateman, with Nic Raine doing some of the conducting duties as well.
Hamlet is from Silva's 1997 "Cinema's Classic Romances" compilation, while "The Thing" is from Silva's 2001 "Essential John Carpenter".
A Fistful of Dynamite - Duck You Sucker is from 2002's Way Out West: Essential Western Film Music Collection Volume Two.
The remaing tracks were newly recorded in 2004 for this release:
Days of Heaven, Exorcist II, Guns for San Sebastian, Moses the Lawgiver, My Name is Nobody, The Five Man Army, The Red Tent, The Men From Shiloh and The Sicilian Clan.
Highly recommended.
"his domain of film scoring is legendary ~ Ennio Morricone".......2004-10-07
Silva America once again has outdone themselves with "Once Upon A Time:The Essential Ennio Morricone Film Music Collection", a double disc collection worth their weight in GOLD! ~ Morricone creates visual moods for each film he scores...action, adventure, mystery, romance, sentimental and suspense...the list could go on.
Ennio Morricone was born in Rome on October 11, 1928...attended the Santa Cecilia Conservatory...worked in various jazz bands, later a staff arranger and composer...an orchestrator in the '50s...scored films in the early '60s, then the WESTERNS and his name became a household word in the film industry ~ a new kind of western was on the horizon and Morricone was commissioned to score "A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS" [1964] for Sergio Leone featuring Clint Eastwood, spaghetti westerns were born ~ next "FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE" [1965] ~ and a bigger budget film "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY" [1966], again featuring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and a third Eli Wallach whose performance was magical to watch on the big screen ~ violence and revenge gives Morricone an opportunity to feature electric guitars, flutes and jew's harp blending with a non lyrical chorus mixed with brass, strings, percussion with full orchestration that simply took your breath away...example is "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST" [1968], featuring Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards and our hero Charles Bronson the mysterious harmonica player, director Sergio Leone's tribute to the American Western, pulled out all the stops ~ the Western was just a small part of Maestro Morricone's career, in the next paragraph take a gander of just what our icon of film music accomplished.
Our composer didn't stop there as "ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA" [1984], featuring Robert De Niro, James Woods and Elizabeth McGovern, another Sergio Leone film..."THE MISSION" [1986], featuring Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons and Aldan Quinn, is probably one of Morricone's crowning scores receiving an Academy Award nomination, very haunting and classical genre in substance..."THE UNTOUCHABLES" [1987], featuring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Robert De Niro during the Al Capone '30s crime organization, Morricone conjures a powerful and dynamic arrangement of his unmistakable theme..."CINEMA PARADISO" [1988], featuring Phillippe Noiret, Antonella Attili and Pupella Maggio from director Giuseppe Tomatore as he recalls his early childhood, the score immediately captures your heart, so tender and compelling as Morricone can only deliver.
City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra featuring conductors Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine, Derek Wadsworth ~ Crouch End Festival Chorus featuring Choir Master David Temple ~ vocals performed by Charlotte Kinder, Marie Kopecka and Jill Washington ~ guitar, percussion and keyboards performed by Gareth Williams ~ all in all did a magnicent job in bringing the music of a composer who wrote for over 250 films, receiving recognition from the industry and fans which was long over-due ~ his work is in constant demand, scoring as many as over a half dozen films as year.
This collection contains an overlay of each cue in Morricone's distinctive style of legendary scoring ~ the man who made this possible, a tremendous asset to every project he undertakes is James Fitzpatrick [producer of the album] ~ symphonic suites with full orchestra fullfilling the "film-score-buffs" cravings for more of the same, just the way we like 'em!
Total Time: 2-CD-Set ~ Silva America 1165 ~ (10/05/2004)

Customer Reviews:
Hamlet sound track - Patrick Doyle.......2006-03-10
I spent a lot of time trying to get hold of this CD but I must say I am mildly disappointed. I thought Patrick Doyle's music for Branagh's Henry V was brilliant and that was why I was determined to obtain this sound track as well. Henry V is not Hamlet in terms of theme and plot but I think the music here tends to be too low key and lacking in drive, unlike Henry V. It is still very good in places and clearly the work of an excellent composer, but not quite up to Doyle's previous standard.
Beautiful masterpiece!!.......2002-02-22
Patrick Doyle has truly composed an awesome piece of work. The score is so well done that you can feel the emotion coming through the music alone. This is by far my favorite soundtrack and I listen to it quite often.
Fantastic collaborations.......2001-06-12
Doyle fans are aware that he collaborates regularly with actor/director, Kenneth Brannagh. With the Hamlet score, he again writes powerful complementary music which also stands alone as worthy to be performed in concert. I would be interested to hear lengthier tracks such as accompanied the lengthy, but indeed beautiful and patient, movie. (The only mistake was Billy Crystal in the movie. I thought Robin Williams did fine work.) Although, I confess, this is my least listened to in my soundtrack collection, I do enjoy it, and believe it deserves accolades.
Patrick Doyle's finest score.......2000-06-26
This is certainly one of my top 3 Patrick Doyle scores and a towering achievement. The score unfolds like a great romantic symphony encompassing several moods from serenity and inner peace ("In Pace"), to violence and lush gothic undertones ("The Ghost", "Now, could I drink hot blood"), and a finaly sense of joyous celebration ("Fanfare", "What Players are they?"). After listening constantly to Mr. Doyle's scores for "Henry V", "Much ado about nothing" and "Frankenstein", I thought he could never top such achievements and somehow he did: "Hamlet" is a masterpiece of thematic inventiveness and dramatic power. The playing is wonderful and the engineering is very clear, taking full advantage of Air Lyndhurst's glorious acoustics. If you are a fan of british classical music or a Shakespeare fan (or even better, a fan of Patrick Doyle), don't pass up this CD. Great film music. No: great music. Period!

Varèse Sarabande à son meilleur!.......2003-04-17
Robert Townson célèbre ici le 500ème cd à être édité par Varèse Sarabande en créant une compilation receuillant les nombreux réengistrements que Varèse Sarabande sut faire au travers des dernières années. Regroupant du matériel de Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, John Williams, Alex North et plusieurs autres, In Session propose un parcours éclectique au travers des années de compositions de chacune des bandes sonores présentées au sein de la compilation. Le voyage commence à avec la musique rejetée de 2001 d'Alex North, pour faire un parcours passant par Rebecca, Citizen Kane (Félicitons ici le FABULEUSE voix de la soprano Janice Watson et la direction impécable de Joel McNeely), Viva Zapata!, Psycho, The Sand Pebbles, Patton, Jaws, Platoon (Autre musique rejetée du regreté Georges Delerue, pastiche du célèbre Adagio pour cordes de Samuel Barber), Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire (Musique composée par Joel McNeely pour le livre se déroulant entre The Empire Stricke Back et The Return of the Jedi) pour finalement clore avec Tara's Bulba. Il s'agit ici d'une sélection très riche, des morceaux d'une durée appréciable et d'une direction et d'une sonorité incroyable. Il s'agit ici d'un merveilleux cadeau de Robert Townson et Varèse Sarabande (Label qui célèbre en 2003 son 25ème anniversaire. Surveillez aussi la compilation de Varèse Sarabande (4 cds pour le prix de un!) qui verra le jour le 22 avril 2003) et c'est une compilation que toute personne sensible à la musique doit posséder! Chapeau Varèse!
A copy in every household . . ........2003-02-09
This disc is so chock-full of classic scores from classic films that every movie-and-music lover should own a copy. Thanks to Robert Townson for producing this collection and the entire Varese film score catalog. My favorite tracks from this disc are "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf"; "Star Trek: The Motion Picture"; and "Midway".
A sampler feat. some of the greatest film scores in history........2001-09-06
Words cannot convey what a collection like this means to a film music collector such as myself. Varese Saraband has been releasing quality film scores and music for the last 20 plus years. My vinyl and CD collections burst with so much great stuff from Varese. One day I was looking in the bins of my local record store and noticed this little gem of a collection. I looked at it and saw a virtual cornucopia of the great film score cues for only $ (and 2 discs). So I purchased it and opened it up. Much to my surprise, the booklet is chock full of information about each scoring session and pictures to boot. I also learned more about some of these wonderful pieces as well. Well thanks to Mr. Townson and this nice collection, I plan to purchase some of the recordings these cues were released on since I don't own classics like Viva Zapata, Alex North's 2001, Superman (not the Varese version, I do have the other release), and Patton. Guess I will have to save a few pennies, but it will be worth it. I recommend this collection to anybody who wants to discover and learn about the history of film music. I also think it's a great listen from the first song to the last on both discs. My compliments to Varese on a great collection of classics (and keeping it under $).
"the man behind Varese Sarabande ~ Robert Townson".......2001-04-06
The music that this label releases is without a doubt in a class by themselves, always perfection. Here we have the 500th CD release from ~ "The Man Behind The Music" ~ Mr. Robert Townson. So much care is taken with each album, that you feel you are witnessing the birth of a newborn baby, and that may be just what it is.
For those of us who buy each album ~ people who work to create them ~ the artwork ~ musicians ~ and a list of some of the most talented composers and conductors ~ John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, John Debney, Georges Delerue, Cliff Eidelman, Jerry Goldsmith, Bernard Herrmann, Michael Lang, Henry Mancini, Joel McNeely, Alfred Newman, Alex North, Miklos Rozsa, Dimitri Shostakovich, Frederic Talgorn, Franz Waxman, Rick Wentworth and John Williams ~ and as always the sound quality and performances by the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, London Symphony Orchestra and National Philharmonic Orchestra is dynamically flawless and simply superb.
This economically priced 2-CD-Set ~ pure film score sampling ~ is worth it's weight in gold. One should not have a favorite from this vast collection, but if asked ~ it would be "TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD" (1962) composer Elmer Bernstein took it to the limit and beyond, the story-line, cast and score was the perfect marriage.
A big, big thank you to ~ Matthew Joseph Peak (cover/session photography) ~ Jonathan Allen, Geoff Foster, Bernie Kirsh, Mike Ross, Mike Sheady and Al Swanson (recording engineers) ~ Rich Breen (mastering engineer) ~ and for the extensive 28 page liner-note booklet featuring "behind the scenes" memories of these past 500 albums, may we look forward to future classics on the next 500 CD's from producer...ROBERT TOWNSON!

Hamlet may have wrestled with "To Be or Not to Be," but he never had to worry about how to tell his story in song. It's a tall order, and it will be interesting to see how Morcheeba fits in this modern adaptation of Shakespeare's classic tale of indecision. The 10 tracks collected here do not fall together in any linear sense. Instead, they create sudden shifts in mood that make for the feeling of a particularly inspired--and hip--mixed tape. Primal Scream begin things with their 1991 cosmopolitan and modernly psychedelic adaptation of legendary Texas acid rocker Roky Erickson's "Slip Inside this House." Morcheeba also takes the psychedelic tack with the paranoiac and ominous "Big Calm," which sounds like what happens when you mix hip-hop with Jimi Hendrix and Pink Floyd. Newcomer Josh Rouse serves up his impressive piano-driven musings, while Nick Cave, in classic 1982 form with his original band, the Birthday Party, provides the climactic title track. --Rob O'Connor
Customer Reviews:
Good but not Great.......2004-09-27
I like this soundtrack, I really do. The problem is this: I normally buy a movie soundtrack when I hear 1 or 2 musical performances in the movie that are too cool for me to live without. In Hamlet, it was the cool techo-beat you hear in the first opening shots (right before Hamlet speaks his first lines) and the orchestral music heard when the opening movie title, "Hamlet", flashes on the screen - stark white letters on a red background. And this soundtrack CD has...neither of these! But I do still enjoy what it does have. Mostly dark, grunge techno with some good alternative as well.
This is the soundtrack to get.......2002-12-07
This is music for the person who loves music. If you have an appreciation of Shakespeare, and creative and well-made modern reproductions, then you will completely enjoy this soundtrack and how well it not only complements the film, but carries itself as an independent piece of art. This is completely modern -- not classical -- and certainly not pop. You will want to see the film if you have not done so already. The moods will swing you if you let them and you will get lost in this music. I can listen to it over and it will not get old. I rented this DVD and then I bought it and then I bought the music. It is the single-best soundtrack I have ever heard.
Had to Buy It for Senior Lit.......2001-05-18
This CD was something that my group had to buy in order to be able to teach the class about "Hamlet" the play. This CD has some amazing songs and lyrics that helped us to describe some of the characters' emotions in the movie (mainly track number 2). Great for needed literature about "Hamlet."
Hypnotic rythms.......2000-07-16
This collection of hypnotic rythms and passionate beats allows a hip and modern mood to float about the room. The second track, "Big Calm" is my favorite because it's soulful, eerie, and sexy. Other great songs include the jazzy, smooth sound of track # 5, "Sublime" and the hypnotic, mellow sound of track #7. The overall tone of this album is mellow,ecclectic, and moody. I would recommend playing it in the car while driving at night under the stars just to get away...
hamlet (soundtrack) takes another bow.......2000-07-15
I havent had a chance to see the film yet, but if its anything like its soundtrack, I will own it, and probably will have to replace it within a month, as it shall be so used and worn. From the moment I sampled it, it had a deep, residual tone, very unlike most soundtracks ( you tend to find more depth in scores) The sound is fresh, inviting, and non-repetative. More so, the music is new, and non-top 40. I am very impressed with the music on this soundtrack, and I feel anyone with a keen Ear for an excellent musical experience, should pick this up. And use Amazon, cause gosh darnit, they rock.

Eidelman & Shakespeare!.......2004-10-07
Very fine sampling of some outstanding Shakespearian film scores ranging from Prokofiev and Shostakovich to Rozsa and Doyle with points in between. Closing out the program is Eidelman's 16 minute tone poem written for "The Tempest"! This is a excellent disc!
With his track record, I can't understand why Eidelman doesn't get blockbuster assignments.

Customer Reviews:
Bits of the Bard you have probably missed!!.......1999-10-02
This CD is a treat loaded with surprises. Program notes are well written and entertaining (by a Shakespearean expert?). Hear "Brush Up Your Shakespeare" in it's entirety, enjoy Hamlet retold in a jazzy piece that even features a little scat singing, and revel in the creative arrangement of "Tonight" (it features a bit of dialogue, some musical borrowings from Prokofiev, and more to create a multi-dimensional experience of this piece.) I highly recommend this diverse, interesting, stimulating and intriguing CD. I really liked it, in case you haven't guessed.
PS: The singing is good, too.
Excellent variety of choices!.......1998-09-10
This CD gives you an educational background on just how many different musical adaptations of Shakespearean works have been produced! The songs range from familiar tunes of Cole Porter like "Too Darn Hot" to obscure performances in Yale's swimming pool for "Fear No More." The notes by Bert Fink are hilarious and move along with the songs smoothly.

Sounds bad.......2006-10-13
The edition of this CD that I have only contains the first CD listed above. So this review is an assessment of those first 11 songs.
My interest in Shostakovich continues to grow, despite these unprofessional recordings. The sustained notes that conclude the "Waltz (from 'Golden Mountains')" are overblown and horribly out-of-tune. The vocal solos are delivered with just as much subtlety. In all honesty, much of this collection sounds like a remedial high school band that had booked just two hours of studio time.
Overall, pretty crummy sounding.
Would have been one of Hollywood's best........2004-01-10
Shostakovich's film music is usually disparaged when compared with his concert hall compositions. Of course it isn't up to those standards. Most of the movies weren't good & some scoring assignments were actually propaganda punishments for his "formalist" & "decadent" creative transgressions, & none ranks with the Eisenstein/Prokofiev collaborations. But try comparing this music with what came out of Hollywood during the later of these years. Alex North is rightly praised for "Cleopatra," Franz Waxman for "Taras Bulba" & "Peyton Place." Also John Green's "Raintree County." These are hardly film classics. Miklos Rozsa, a consummate professional, turned out memorable scores for some very expensive clinkers. Such examples are legion. Brits William Walton & Malcom Arnold arranged concert suites of their movie music. & I personally despise Maurice Jarre for composing that insidious earworm, "Lara's Theme."
This double CD box is indifferently programmed & contains no liner notes; you'll have to sort out the history yourself. But the performances are fine - a few are on higher-priced releases. The music itself ranges from cabaret to waltzes to dramatic battle action. In "New Babylon" the Krafty Komposer demonstrates the sardonic wit he often used to mock his Soviet Kulture Kummittee Kumrades.

If you like Shostakovich's main music, check out this sampling of his motion picture scores, his little know music. I think you will be suprisue.

Hamlet.......2006-07-17
I think that this is Ennio's most underrated, and most beautiful score. It goes perfectly with the sombre and intense mood of this particular interpretation of Hamlet - one film that I think never received its just due. The Hamlet theme, there are two versions of this theme, is my favorite. It is played with a solo cello on the first variation accompanied by a string section and the second variation is played with a solo clarinet, again accompanied by strings. It is haunting, heartbreaking and moving music, interspersed with medieval like music that brings up visions of the medieval past. A fine score!

Interesting electro-acoustic approach.......2005-03-09
I liked the combination of electronics with traditional acoustic intrumentation. This seemed to echo the way the film takes Shakespeare and transposes him into an glossy but existential New York locale.
To buy or not to buy, there is no question. Buy it!.......2002-08-15
Carter Burwell fans will not be dissapointed with this one. This score will take the listener deep into the mind of the obsessed Hamlet, and oh what a dark road it is.
As is the case with many of the great film composers, we get to see what the characters are feeling through the music, and Burwell creates a tremendous feeling of dread, obsession, and revenge within the audience. It's a masterful job and one not easily done.
But buyer beware, this is not for the constant fan of upbeat musical scores. This cd will take you to a realm of dark melodies and a deep feeling of hopelessness. On a brighter note, though, this score is great to write by, especially for dark and gloomy subjects.
To sum it all up, this cd is for the music fan of not only cheery and pleasant music, but also for those who tend to wander into the dark regions of the other spectrum. Good luck to you on this one. The melodies are brilliant and are somewhat hard to forget, stirring emotion deep within the listener. Enjoy and get ready to hear some serious music.
Burwell gets a chance to develop.......2000-08-10
While this album may not be any longer than his others, the cues are, and many of the themes that have been dancing around in his mind, particularly for _Fargo_ and _Gods and Monsters_ went into this. He scored eight other films and got married last year, so developing previous themes is hardly anything to complain about. Most of the tracks on this album are over two minutes, and many longer still. This isn't characteristic of Burwell scores, though I think that's something the film dictates, although it has the same brooding nature and quirky sense of humor that marks those other films. It does contain a descending triad featured in _Being John Malkovich_, but that doesn't automatically make this album a rehash. If you like Burwell, this is an album to get. You'll hear some familiar sounds come to the fore and receive a lot of care.
Unfortunately, there is a problem with this album's sound. Something across between the sound of tape hiss and a high-pitched ring is in the back of every track. It tapers off a bit as the album progresses, but never quite goes away, except where the tracks break. It is a bit irritating, particularly if your player goes automatically goes back to the beginning and starts playing, then you can really notice it. I've heard it on three different systems, and the amount this distortion can be heard varies a great deal, but always seems to be there, intrinisic to this recording.
"each theme underplayed is the power of this score".......2000-08-02
Varese Sarabande presents Carter Burwell's latest score - "HAMLET", many mood swings in this soundtrack, which draws the listener into a music trance. An example of this is track four - "DARKROOM", inner themes that go seemingly into counter melodies and back again. Much of this score is dark and brooding - "TO BE OR NOT TO BE" goes deep into the subconscious - "WIRING OPHEILA" simple and moving effective track - "THE END" which is the final track, very classical sounding to the very last note, with a resounding strike of percussion.
Burwell who gave us such wonderful scores - "MILLER'S CROSSING" (1990) - "ROB ROY" (1995) - "FARGO" (1996) - "THE CONSPIRACY THEORY" (1997) - "GODS AND MONSTERS" (1998) - "THE CORRUPTOR" (1999) - "THE GENERAL'S DAUGHTER" (1999), once again proves his talent as a composer knows no boundaries.
This score with each theme underplayed and orchestrated is the power of the entire album, almost what Bernard Herrmann strived for in his film music. The first time you hear this score you dismiss it, but give it another listener and then another, and see if you don't agree. Believe Carter Burwell has given us a classic score, for a very classic title - "HAMLET!"

Another Burwell triumph.......2000-07-30
this CD is another triumph for Burwell. He wrote and arranged this score for a very small ensemble, and is similar in tone to his previous underrated work for "Gods and Monsters." The music is not overtly beautiful, but still goes a long way in defining the genius of Burwellian darkness. A triumph of small ensemble orchestration. If you need a comparison, steer clear of Doyle's bright and happy (although excellent) score, and look toward Ennio Morricone's version of "Hamlet."
