Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
It should be little surprise that of the three Prince of Egypt CDs, this one, which contains music actually used in the picture, is the best. The disc features songs written by Academy Award winners Stephen Schwartz and Hans Zimmer. It also showcases the always impressive vocal talents of Ofra Haza on several tracks. The disc also crams in a few singles--ranging from the solid Boyz II Men track "I Will Get There" to the average "The Prince of Egypt (When You Believe)" by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey to the dismal "Through Heaven's Eyes", by K-Ci & JoJo. But ultimately, Haza steals the show on tracks like "Cry" and the gorgeous "Deliver Us", performed with Eden Riegel. Other standouts include "Playing with the Big Boys", by Steve Martin and Martin Short, and a pleasant, if not unexpected, vocal by Michelle Pfeiffer on "When You Believe". --Aaron Tassano end

Original songs: Stephen Schwartz; Score by Hans Zimmer. It's no wonder that such a marvellous story requires a powerful, yet moving soundtrack - but the music is so awe-inspiring, that you are plunged into the magical Exodus tale. The first number "Deliver Us" has to be one of the best expositions I've come across in movie music - introducing diligently the all important motifs upon which the soundtrack is based. The choirs bring the pain of the music to life. Rhythmical interest is key to "All I ever wanted", with a triplet backing contrasting to the straight tune well sung by Amick Byram. "Through Heaven's Eyes" is the typical pacey morale-lifting song. Hans Zimmer's delivery of "The Bushing Bush" creates a magic that you almost feel - with many dramatic horn flourishes and dymanic excellence. "The Plagues" again demonstrates the talents of the composer/s - a great choral number. The films is rounded off with "When You Believe" - with a superb minor-major contrast, also picked up an award for its melody. The "Red Sea" is the recapitulation of the movie's stunning soundtrack - bringing together all the major themes with a superb orchestral arrangement.
Full marks for use of authentic instruments and variety of style and rhythm!!

I must say that I really take an "eternity" (one decade) to find this wonderful work. If I first ran for the movie, now i only care for the music. Like few other soundtracks, this one matched with perfeccion with the animation. You can really see, feel and travel the movie through this spectacular soundtrack!
Wonderful voices, magnificent orquestration a definitly must buy!
These 5 stars are deserved as you can experience: Passion, Devotion, Tenderness, Belief and Musicality!
