Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

A film about classical music and mental illness would normally be a box-office disaster. Yet such was the life-affirming brilliance of director Scott Hicks Shine, the true story of Australian pianist David Helfgott's battle against mental breakdown and his self-expression through Rachmaninov's Piano Concerto No. 3, that the film found an adoring audience. Composer David Hirschfelder faced the extraordinarily difficult task of crafting a score of sufficient maturity to stand beside some of the greatest classical masterpieces ever written. Had he failed the film itself could not have worked, yet work it did, and triumphantly so. This soundtrack album features 34 tracks, 14 by Hirschfelder, the remainder bring his arrangements of the classical selections used in the film. Necessarily, the resulting album is somewhat diverse and even fragmented. Despite this, Hirschfelder has done a remarkable job of assembling the pieces into a musical tapestry, in which his own delicately understated compositions sit comfortably besides Vivaldi, Beethoven and, of course, Rachmaninov, with David Helfgott himself playing on many of the tracks. Shine made the actor Geoffrey Rush an overnight star, going on to roles in Shakespeare in Love and Elizabeth--the latter eliciting another fine score from Hirschfelder. --Gary S. Dalkin

5.0 out of 5 stars Sublime Listening, 23 May 2001
By A Customer
The film 'Shine' is one of my favourites, and no small part of that is because of its incredible soundtrack. With a mix of both well-known classics and original scores by David Hirschfelder, this is a great purchase even for those who would not normally consider buying a Classical album.

5.0 out of 5 stars Shine On!!, 30 Aug 2002
By D. Dobbs (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Not having seen the film I was introduced to the film score by something of an accident. Nevertheless it soon became one of my favourites. The overall theme being classic piano pieces with a few other incidental pieces from the film thrown in for good measure. The music itself is quite dark and has a heavy Eastern European flavour courtesy of Rachmaninov and others. Obviously this won't be everyone's taste, however it needn't be something which is only of interest to classical experts. Well worth a listen.
