5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting and emotional 18 May 2004
Format:Audio CD
Exellent score by Cristopher Young,
If you like Celtic music you will love it, it's a must have if you have seen the film.The fact that It's dearer than the film itself, says it all.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Stunning Soundtrack 1 Dec 2008
By H. Pope
Format:Audio CD
Christopher Young's scores never disappoint but this particular soundtrack excels in atmosphere and emotion. Even if you haven't seen the film this CD is a must-buy. It's the perfect accompaniment to a crisp morning walk or just curled up in bed with a book. I haven't stopped listening to it since I bought it and I'd recommend it to any fan of celtic music. Enjoy!

3.0 out of 5 stars Where's the Great Big Sea? 13 Mar 2002
By Phil Sandifer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
I saw the movie, and was stunned by the soundtrack, particularly by the fact that it had five songs by Newfoundland band Great Big Sea in it (Generally played in the cafe). I was extremely disappointed, therefore, to discover that none of these songs made it onto the CD, as they are both fabulous songs, and songs that were a crucial part of the overall mood of the movie.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Christopher Young delivers a compassionate score" 4 Mar 2002
By J. Lovins - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Some heavy weights on the casting line up of "The Shipping News"...leading the pack is Kevin Spacey(Quoyle), Judi Dench(Agnis Hamm), Cate Blanchett(Petal Bear), Julianne Moore(Wavey), Pete Postlethwaite(Tert Card) and Scott Glenn(Jack Buggit), who happens to be one of my favorite actors from "Backdraft", "Silverado" and "The Right Stuff"...filmed in
Newfoundland and based on the E. Annie Proulx novel(Pulitzer Prize winner) and the gifted director Lasse Hallstrom("The Cider House" and "Chocolat"), both wonderful films...even with this cast and director, the film falls short of what we've come to expect from all concerned in the past.

However, the music is first class...as Christopher Young captures the landscape and the lives of the people on the island...each cue sets the tone and mood for every scene...Young has come of age, belongs to one of Hollywood's busiest composers.

A few stand outs come to mind ~ "ALWYN SPIRES", almost a lullaby with solo guitar and counterpoints from the string section..."SAIL ON", lonely guitar strings open with Celtic
sounding flutes answering the string sections, beautiful colors of each theme transpire blending percussion creeps into the melodic symphony, giving you the satisfaction of life starting over.

Much credit to Milan Entertainment, The Philharmonia Orchestra, Allan Wilson(conductor) and our composer Christopher Young...the opening track "SHIPPING NEWS", sets the stage for a compelling drama and the score adds another character to the cast of
players...once again brilliant arrangements, orchestration and performance from this haunting cue...stays with you for days, gotta love it!

Total Time: 46:12 on 16 Tracks ~ Milan 35983 ~ (2002)

5.0 out of 5 stars Relaxing and stimulating at the same time 15 Sep 2003
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Even if you haven't seen the movie, you will love this music--Celtic influences, rhythmic drumming, mood invoking -- consistently delivers.

I had it on as background music when I had company and everyone noticed and was raving about it. They hadn't heard of the movie but sure loved this CD.
