Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Ennio Morricone's Academy Award-nominated score captures the conflict between 18th-century Jesuit missionaries trying to convert the native Indians, and the slavers who want to destroy them. In keeping with the serious subject matter and epic scope of Roland Joffe's film, the score is by turns grave, lyrical, and tense. Ever inventive, Morricone mixes liturgical chorales, native drumming, and Spanish-influenced guitars, often in the very same track, to capture the drama of the culture clash. His trademark lyricism also comes through, notably in the beautiful themes for "Gabriel's Oboe" and "The Mission". Not as over-the-top as his well-known spaghetti western scores, The Mission shows Morricone at his dramatic best. --Heidi MacDonald

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must for True Music Lovers, 6 Sep 2001
By Mrs. A. Storey (Durham England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Anyone who listens to this album cannot fail to be moved by it's brilliance. There are some striking pieces which almost reduce the listner to tears -particularly Gabriel's Oboe and Falls. A truly passionate recording which depending on your mood when you listen to it will leave you feeling uplifted or melancholy.Either way, a must have for true music lovers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Moving, powerful, spectacular. A true masterpiece., 10 April 2001
By A Customer
If you have not seen the mission, see it. Then buy this album, don't worry about hearing it first, just buy it. The film will reduce most people to tears and the music did the same for me. Not because of the film itself, but the emotion of the music as a seperate entity form the film is so powerful, it will mean something different to everyone and explores the feelings of the listener. This is a must have recording and it is, in my opinion, probably the best soundtrack recorded. It is now over a decade old and still brilliant, truly a masterpiece.

5.0 out of 5 stars very emotional, 10 Nov 2002
By A Customer
I may be in a minority, and judging by previous reviews, I am. But I heard this soundtrack when it was first released before I saw the film. Suffice to say that hearing the music without a reference to the actors in the film, I feel that the music could stand alone for its evocative use of tone and mood. In plain english it makes me cry. So I would suggest that anyone who doesn't have this in their collection should buy it post haste.
