Review
I think that Murray Gold is incredible, totally incredible, a genius. --Matt Smith
CD Description
A specially priced two-CD set that bring to a close the David Tennant era of Doctor Who. Disc 1 includes selected cues from The Next Doctor, Planet Of The Dead and The Waters Of Mars. Disc 2 is entirely given over to The End Of Time Parts 1 & 2 and features “Vale Decem”, the moving choral farewell to the tenth Doctor. David Tennant’s departure as Doctor Who was one of the most watched programmes of Christmas 2009 and subsequent interest in the release of the music on fansites has been huge. As Matt Smith, the new doctor put it, "Murray Gold is incredible, totally incredible, a genius."

What a masterpiece!!!
This 2 CD set is amazing! Murray Gold's stirring soundtrack will bring back memories from David Tennant's amazing and heartbreaking final episodes.
The highlight - the 2nd CD, music from The End of the Time. "Vale Decem" the final aria to the 10th Doctor will have you weeping as you remember his time as the keeper of the TARDIS and his regeneration.
Would recommend to all!

Some tracks very short, others hit the nail on the head. To all you Dr Who buffs it's a must as a collection item which is where it is now in mine

Murray Gold's music from the specials was probably the most well-crafted of his soundtracks for Doctor Who. There were many stand-out and powerful tracks - unfortunately, some appear to have been missed.
The album as a soundtrack is superb. The music is well produced and there's a wide range of material. There are cartoonish adventurous pieces (A Bit of a Drag, The Cat Burglar), powerful epic melodies (Final Days, The Clouds Pass), sad and reflective tunes (The Fate of Little Adelaide, Vale) and suspenseful climactic tracks (A Dream of Catastrophe, The Master Suite).
Regrettably, some brilliant harmonic pieces have not been released, most notably from The Waters Of Mars and The End Of Time Part 1. Those brilliantly powerful tracks which you would assume would be a must for inclusion on the album are never heard, which comes as a disappointment to some who have been waiting for such a long time.
But there are some phenomenal pieces to enjoy. Of course, there is a faithful (if rather quiet) performance of Vale Decem and a fantastic unused cue which follows in the track Vale. Both tracks are huge successes which are difficult to stop listening to.
Overall, if you're a fan of Murray Gold and generally enjoy his music, this is probably the best purchase you could make. But if you're looking for particular cues used in the episodes, don't expect them all to be included.

Once again Murray Gold delivers with his powerful scores of music which always make me feel the emotions of the characters that the music is relating to. Read more

A bit frenetic
Sorry, but out of Murray Gold's fine musical talents, this Doctor Who CD is probably his weakest before re-booting himself for the much beter series 5. Read more

I was surprised that this release is a double CD for the Specials as I didn't think there would be enough music for a 2CD release. Read more

Lots of filler, lots of instant classics
The recent specials that wrapped up Tennant's tenure as the Tenth Doctor (I'm sure I can tentatively fit another 'ten' in there somewhere, but I won't) don't appeal to every fan,... Read more

Fantastic - don't listen to the moaners below
First and foremost, the music is simply fantastic. And for 2 CDs at the same price as one, it is a real bargain. Read more
