Format:Audio CD
I bought this CD from the perspective that it was made by Lisa Gerrard and although it wasnt what I was expecting, it is still a wonderful CD.
Most songs rely on ambience with swirling keyboards, tribal drums and some lovely acoustic guitar work. Very few tracks indeed have Lisa's voice in it at all and its actually the guest vocals who steal the show with a powerful performance from a maori choir.
The ambience never gets dull (and for those who enjoy ambience I suggest the Myst game soundtracks) and the ethereal tones are heavenly and could cradle you to sleep. The rest is a fabulous fusion of oceania instrumentation that you should enjoy.

Absolutely adorable music!
To be honest, since this is not the kind of music I normally listen, I was a bit dissapointed when first listening the cd through. But the second time I fell in love with it! It's so deep and almost spiritual. When I concentrated on it, it took me to beautiful sceneries and an overwhelming atmosphere! I highly recommend. I didn't know that something this amazing even existed!

Those who are familiar with Lisa Gerrard's solo career ("The Mirror Pool", "Duality" and "Immortal Memory") and her Dead Can Dance days will almost certainly nurse a sense of loss at hearing this most poignant of soundtracks. For a start Lisa doesn't provide any of the vocals, and the music itself is not an epic creation in the manner of the "Gladiator" soundtrack. Still, don't dismiss it on these grounds! The music for "Whale Rider" is just as intimate and enveloping as her previous work.
Shot through with a wonderful homogenity it moves through some delicious native Maori chanting to haunting melodies fully evocative of an ancient relationship with the sea and the whales. Those who have seen the film, which I also recommend highly, will know the vital importance of Gerrard's music in its context, and might well be surprised by how well it transfers to a simpler auditory experience.
Lisa Gerrard has referred to the "Whale Rider" project as "one of the most intimate of my artistic life...because it reminded me intrinsically that we live in a world full of fragile complexity." Fragile, complex and intimate - all words which encapsulate the experience of the "Whale Rider" soundtrack and make it well worth purchasing, as a fan of the film or a fan of Lisa Gerrard.

Most beautiful!!
Words some times can't describe really the feelings that music can evoke... This piece of music from Lisa is gorgeous, though different from what she has done in the past with Dead... Read more
