Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Er, no. Comment: No, no, no. This is not the best film music ever composed. It is all the same - even the terrifying movement that was cut barely makes anything tingle. Yes, it has to experienced with the film, but this is where this soundtrack falls down. This soundtrack does not stand on its own: if it is supposed to, it falls into that awful Classic FM genre of baroque-style easy listening, which surely must become a graveyard eventually. Customer Rating: Summary: excellence... Comment: first of all, great service from the amazon.co.uk! i ordered the cd on tuesday evening and i got it in front of my door on friday morning!!(take into consideration that i live in greece) well HANS ZIMMER is one of the best composers! when i listen to the cd i feel like escaping from the routine in a mysterious and magical way..! the armony of this music really keeps me in balance with the technocratic everyday life...HANS ZIMMER really knows the right way to play with our senses via his music...just like DAN BROWN did via "The Da Vinci Code"... HANS ZIMMER really accomplished to "transform" the mystery of the book "The da vinci code" in (divine) music... Customer Rating: Summary: Magnificent, majestic and moving Comment: I think Hans Zimmer's score for The Da Vinci Code is absolutely beautiful; sacred, mystical, uplifting music of the soul. My particular favourite is `Chevaliers de Sangreal', a piece I play over and over again for its magnificent strings and that soaring crescendo to the towering finale ~ a supreme piece of music. The whole score is dramatic and evocative of the power and mystery of the church down the ages. I loved the film and the book, and now through this wonderful CD I can relive both. Highly recommended for the sheer beauty of the choral works and the superb musical compositions. Customer Rating: Summary: brilliant Comment: The music so beautiful underlies the subject matter of the film. Zimmer is a highly talented composer, right up there with the likes of John Barry. Like Barry, his score is not about the composer, but about the subject. Zimmer's score feels church-like and as rich and old as a tapestry - or the paintings of Da Vinci himself. Well worth buying whether you are into the idea of the film or not. Customer Rating: Summary: Shore, Williams... and now Zimmer, the third one from the best ones Comment: Hans Zimmer is one of the best known composers in Hollywood history and he shows again his quality and his talents in great movie The Da Vinci code. Music follows direct line from the beginning to the end of movie, with typical and personal Hans Zimmer style. There is two tracks that comes up from cd and they are "Chevaliers De Sangreal" and "Kyrie For The Magdalene". "Chevaliers De Sangreal" is like cream on top of tasty cake and the brass instrument in it was something that I have heard since Lord of the rings and Star Wars movies. "Kyrie For The Magdalene" is placed to a little bit wrong place in movie what I think, it is playing while the end credits is rolling off. Still it is as good as "Chevaliers De Sangreal" and it is worth of listening, and that's why it comes more up in soundtrack than in movie. So five stars for good soundtrack that helps movie to come better and better and soundtrack will say those things that movie won't tell, and of course that is the idea of film music. If you like the movie, you will like this soundtrack also. More Reviews
