Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
For this Nancy Meyers-directed romantic comedy, Hans Zimmer serves up a breezy score quite different from the more heavy-duty works he's become known for. This may have something to do with the film's tone, of course, but also with the fact that Zimmer has sole credit on only two cues, having co-written the others with members of his extensive stable of helpers, including guitarist Heitor Pereira and even pop artist Imogen Heap (who also contributes wordless vocals in addition to getting writing credits on three tracks). In the film, Jack Black's character is a composer who namedrops Ennio Morricone; Zimmer steps up to the challenge with the opening track, "Maestro" (one of his solo compositions), which evidently seeks to emulate the romantic sweep of some of Morricone's scores and nearly succeeds. (This may sound like a criticism but getting near Morricone level is nothing to sneeze at.) A little later "Verso e Prosa," a collaboration between Pereira and Herb Alpert --who contributes his immediately identifiable trumpet--also stands out. If the rest of the CD had shown as much spirited zest as these two tracks, the album could have become a prized addition to any soundtrack lover's library; alas, the other cues are too devoid of personality to make a lasting impression. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

I had watched this film so many times, and grown to love the music accompaniment, that I bought this soundtrack to enjoy at any time. It is beautiful. Whether at home or in the car, this is easy listening at its best. 'Maestro' is such a haunting theme, and the light latin american interludes are great.

I love it! This music is brilliant. An amazing score. The music is relaxing and beautiful. It has been great listening music for me and my unborn baby. I plan to use it after the birth to keep my baby calm! I may even have it on during the birth!

Brilliant film - Bridget Jones's Diary without the bad guy.
I am not to sure if it is fair to compare this film with BJD. It has a lovely cuddly feel to it more so in fact. No baddies, good humour, not too predictable either. Read more
