Product Description
Review
In recent years, we've learned better than to judge a movie by its trailer. But 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' is sure challenging that ideal. A second trailer has hit the web courtesy of MSN, and on the surface the Cold War-set espionage thriller certainly looks flawless. The movie won us over once it announced that its leads included Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy, Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Toby Jones, John Hurt and Ciaran Hinds, but this look at 'Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy' also shows that it's going to be putting the ensemble of actors to good use. A month ago the international teaser hit the web and appropriately whetted our appetite for more. But this more direct look at the movie is one of our favorite trailers that we've seen all year. --empireonline.com

We don't want to overcook this one, but Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy looks absolutely bloody amazing. --Firstshowing.net

CD Description
Anticipation couldn't be higher for the big screen adaptation of John le Carré's spy novel Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy . Featuring the cream of British acting talent (Gary Oldman, Colin Firth, John Hurt, Ciarán Hinds, Tom Hardy, Toby Jones, Mark Strong, Benedict Cumberbatch), the film follows ageing spy George Smiley (Oldman) as he's pulled out of retirement to locate a Russian mole within the highest echelons of the British Secret Intelligence Service. Judging from the trailer, it would appear that director Tomas Alfredson, best known for Swedish vampire thriller Let the Right One In , has succeeded in translating the paranoid heart of le Carré's tale of lies, deceit and espionage from page to screen. Look for Oldman, Firth and Hardy to grab a fistful of Oscar and BAFTA nominations next year.

I bought this item after falling in love with the movie and its nostalgic sound. The music is excellent per se, although I miss the songs that added a certain atmosphere and style, and they are not included. This is a very satisfying hearing, creating a moody atmosphere that works perfectly itself. Yet there are moments, as in many osts, when you get a feeling of slight repetition.

"Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy ... Alberto Iglesias ... Silva Screen Records (2011) (4.5 stars rating)"
22 Nov 2011
Format:Audio CD
Silva Screen Records LTD presents "TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY" [Soundtrack], the score is by the celebrated composer Alberto Iglesias ... Oscar Nominated for Original Score The Constant Gardener (2005) and Original Score The Kite Runner (2007) -- and the list could go on, very accomplished film score composer.
Mesmerizing undertones of jazz, with light piano fingering gives this an almost dreamlike film sequence. One reviewer mentions central elements of Jerry Goldsmith (The Russia House), which is one of my favorite scores from Maestro Goldsmith. But, listen to the strings and counter melodies that extrude into the bleak air of the night.
Iglesias is right on with each track ... one can only hope this will receive some recognition for a mention in the award department.
This is one of those soundtracks/scores that you can play and listen with your conscious or subconscious, while reading a book or just under winding after a hard day.

Loved the book and the original BBC adaptation of the story by John le Carre but found the film remake totally dissapointing, stellar cast but terrible direction and the only thing that saved it for me was this beautiful, haunting soundtrack. There is a running motif through all the pieces using a spanish guitar which I have not been able to get out of my head! the soundtrack is evocative and haunting, bitter sweet, jazzy and I have been listening to it solidly for 3 days now! in fact , I even want to sit through the film again just to experience the beauty of it :)
If you saw the film and even quite liked the soundtrack, buy it and play it in the car and you will be swept away.
