 profondo, emozionante March 31, 2008

le tracce contenute spazziano da composizioni tipicamente orchestrali a brani di stampo piu moderne..molto emotivo..fa scaturire varie sensazioni..dalla gioa all'amore, dalla riflessione alla tristezza.
non comprensibile da molti al primo impatto ma dentro c'e tutto il nostro essere.

Hans Zimmer is one of the most Beautiful Composers in the last decade and I am overwhelmed & delighted with his music.
Must-have Zimmer! September 15, 2007
David Robinson (Oakland, CA United States)
By 2003, Hans Zimmer was working on his 100th--yes, one hundredth--feature film score. This is a rich two-disc collection that will remind you of some well loved movies: Driving Miss Daisy, Rainman and Da Vinci Code. The high point is the three tracks from Gladiator (one of those times when "music better than movie") and a rollicking couple of tracks from "Pirates of the Caribbean" (in the words of John Lennon: "Play loud").
If you try to analyze Zimmer's melodies, they are simple, often four of five notes on a simple descending scale. But just when you think he's giving you soft rock pop, along comes a heartbreaking melody that you'll sing all day. The arrangements here are interesting, and never an endless verse-chorus-verse repeat.
The album has a variety of fully orchestral tracks and some where the sythesizer is prominent. Its a great program and with two discs an excellent value.
 Just get the albums August 6, 2007

I am a big fan of Zimmer in general, he has done some of my favourite scores. however i don't think this double CD is really worth buying unless you are new to Zimmer and want a brief overview of some of his work. There's seems a couple of odd choices on here when there is so much classic stuff to choose from, and i would thoroughly recommend getting the scores seperately to any film you may have seen which caught your ear.I don't think the arrangments here particularly add anything to the experience either, and if like me yuo enjoy the scores partyl as a memory of the film, i think you're better off with the original tracks and arrangments.
Shame, could have been better.

Silva's newest composer compilation is a great addition to it's "Essential" line of CD releases.
There are plenty of new tracks here conducted by producer James Fitzpatrick (Crimson Tide, The Thin Red Line, Thelma & Louise, The Da Vinci Code, Green Card, Driving Miss Daisy, and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.)
Recycled tracks from previous Silva Screen CDs are:
Gladiator - Symphonic Suite - 2002's The Fantasy Album and 2005's EPICS
Gladitor - Now We Are Free (Vocal) - 2005's Epics
The Da Vinci Code - Kyrie for the Magdelene - 2006's Greatest Cinema Choral Classics
Rain Man - 1994's Music from the Films of Tom Cruise
Days of Thunder - 1994's Music from the Films of Tom Cruise
Pearl Harbor - 2004's Longest Day: Ultimate World War Themes
The Last Samurai - 2005's EPICS
Batman Begins - 2006's Comic Strip Heroes
Hannibal - 2001's Cinema Choral Classics III
The Rock - 1998's Hollywood Stars: Music from the Films of Sean Connery
Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl - 2005's EPICS
Gladitor - Now We Are Free (Instrumental) - 2004's Reel Chill
Highly recommended for fans who are not familiar with Hans Zimmer's music, or those who want to hear a different take on it.
Producer James Fitzpatrick states in the informative liner notes that "the orchestrators, arrangers and myself decided to go for a totally symphonic approach and treatment of the music : as if the music has been arranged for the concert hall....Other tracks are all essentially orchestral but with a few subtle synthetic additives, mostly in the "bottom end" and the percussion department."
Definitely worth a spin, and a welcome release to put all the Silva Zimmer tracks in one fine collection.
Edited to add: Mark Ayres provides (uncredited) additional keyboards and percussion on "The Rock".
