VINE™ VOICE
Format:Audio CD
When I watched the "Mists of Avalon", right from the very beginning I knew I would want to get the soundtrack but was afraid not to be able to find it. Surprisingly enough, I found it right away and wasn't disappointed.
Full of celtic sounds and dramatic choir music, this soundtrack is one I've often left in my CD player for weeks at a time since I got it over eight months ago.
Although the score is amazing, the highlight is Loreena McKennitt's "Mystic's Dream".
Even if you haven't seen the film or read the book, if you like celtic music and scores, this is one you must buy.

Sheer Enchantment
10 Aug 2001
By Emily Todd
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
This is a beautiful soundtrack with a great variety of music with a celtic flavor. The songs are are all very emotionally moving and quite mysterious, like the movie. This music has the power to take you back to the Arthurian time and relive the experience.
'The Mystic's Dream' by Loreena McKennitt was a great addition to this soundtrack. She has such a lovely voice! 'I Will Remember You Still' by Aeone was also quite nice. Overall, this soundtrack was a magical experience for me and will be for you too.

Music For The Heart And Soul
8 Jun 2003
By Inspector Gadget
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Audio CD
Much like Trevor Jones' score to 'Merlin', Lee Holdridge has created a wonderful and magical experience that doubles as a score to the movie 'Mists of Avalon'.
Every single track evokes love, magic, sorrow and happiness in powerful uplifting cues and cues so wistful that they'll bring you close to tears. The art of the film score is mostly lost in this day and age with most Hollywood trash being scored by trash-metal guitars and blaring sound effects. Amid this cluster of cheese 'Mists of Avalon' is a Godsend and a saviour of hope.
If you like full orchestral scoring with passion and talent then there is no better recent example than this CD. You must buy. It's not an acquired taste to appreciate music of this calibre. After all, this is why God invented music. Yes, it is that good!

Great Soundtrack for an Amazing Book/Movie
24 Nov 2003

Format:Audio CD
I saw the movie first before reading the book. I know, how horrible! But I really enjoyed the book. It is one my all-time favorites. Anyway, the soundtrack is great. I'm a huge fan of instrumentals, so I'm probably a bit biased, but it sounds amazing. There's Celtic hints obviously because the movie and book take from that time, but it also is just a nice instrumental soundtrack. I hadn't heard of the composer before, but I will definitely look for him in the future because I love this cd. I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves instrumentals, soundtracks, or orchestras.
