Format:Audio CD
This is a truly masterly score which is appropriate for the film in every respect. The disc also features the famous Afghan singer Ahmad Zahir who was renowned in the 70s as a sort of Afghanistani Cat Stevens. I have read up on him since listening to this CD and he has had a sadly short life dying at just 33 years but leaving behind a wealth of music which has become a standard for singers in Afghanistan. I love those tracks on this CD and will be seeking out more of Ahmad Zahir music.
For anyone who has seen the film the music will be memorable anyway and for anyone who hasnt seen it GO NOW!!! It is the best of recent releases.

enchanting Middle Eastern inspired orchestral music
23 July 2008
Format:Audio CD
The soundtrack to "Kite Runner" is as compelling as the story. The score for Marc Forster's big screen adaptation is a synthesis of various styles. While the Western symphony orchestra is the primary vehicle, it is adorned with Middle Eastern and Asian esthetics. Composer Alberto Iglesias admits that the score does not play authentic Afghan music. Instead, Eastern flavored World Music is infused with regional elements like the Tablas from India and the Persian Santoor. While the Hollywood Studio Symphony may perform Iglesias' compositions, songs by Ahmad Zahir and Ehsan Aman contribute music by Afghanis. In a soundtrack that is dominated by serious acoustic music, Ahman Zahir's 'Tanha Shudam Tanha' adds a delightfully kitschy jam. A problem with orchestral soundtracks is that for everyday listening, listeners don't necessarily want to relive a story's panic stricken moments during the morning commute. As a musical postcard, the temperament to this soundtrack is unexpectedly even-keeled. It is surprising that 'Escape' is the only high-strung composition given the story's dark themes. Indeed, most of these compositions bring back whimsical memories of two friends playing with kites on a cobblestone street. Aside from the film, this music will appeal to anyone with an appreciation of Middle Eastern inspired orchestral music. For good reasons, this music was nominated for an Academy Award and a Golden Globe. While bringing honor to Khaled Hosseini's book, "Kite Runner" is a soundtrack that stands on its own.

Awesome

I was deployed to Afghanistan and the country is beautiful and exotic. This soundtrack takes me right back to this whole other world. The Arabic vocals and music is so relaxing. If you loved the book/movie than i can honestly say you'll love the soundtrack.

Wonderful

I saw the movie and heard the title track at the end. I mostly bought the album for this. I really enjoyed the end track "fly a kite" and some of the other gems in this collection.
