1. The album is DRM-crippled. It won't play in my PC unless Windows Media Player 9 is used, and it doesn't play at all well when it does, including audible clicks and pops in the sound. And no, I'm not going to bother trying it on a standard CD player after this experience.
2. With the exceptions of "Wilde West", and the short suite from "Haunted", the music is pretty pedestrian. It's not BAD music, but it's nothing to stir the heart.
3. I'll never buy another CD from the publisher of this DRM-crippled beast again, and I'm one heck of a lot less
likely to buy anything else Wiseman puts out as well, if this is an example of how her publishers treat her listeners.
Debbie's hard-working talent seems to have paid off. Having read much about the composer after "Lighthouse", her music is there to underscore the emotion of the film and allow room for the actors to speak their lines. Many cues require something less dramatic during a scene, you must remember the film comes first and not the music. Her classical training lends to shades of elegance that at any moment can burst with passion. Passages within melodies seem to blends so well, her scores can stand on their own two feet without the films storyline. She achieves her goal and then some, a marvel in these times and for someone quite so young.
Silva Screen presents "Something Here: Film & TV Music of Debbie Wiseman", thirteen tracks and over an hour of some of the most beautiful and haunting film music to come our way in a long time. Wiseman has written the music for over 55 television and 3 feature films. These are but a few, plus the world premiere recording of "THE UGLY DUCKLING", narrated by Nigel Havers and the timeless tale from Hans Christian Andersen. Wiseman paints a picture with her music on a canvas of sweeping innocence as the listener soaks up each morsel.
Some magnificent stand outs are "WILDE", exceptionally passionate and luxurious themes transcend with the uncanny ability to bring you into each cue ~ another is "HAUNTED", opening is so suspensefull, leaving you in a state of what's next...romance transcends with strings and counter melodies as the brass answers the call. Harmonies sweeping within harmonies rise to the heavens, this is truly film scoring at its best.
So "film-score-buffs", there is another star on the horizon. As usual James Fitzpatrick (associated producer), Reynold da Silva and Ian Maclay (executive producers) and The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra have come through for all the lovers of film music. This collection spanning a decade of work from Debbie Wiseman, is a keeper.
Total Time: 71:20 on 13 Tracks ~ Silva Screen SILKD-6035 ~ (1/21/2003)
