Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

From Russia with Love was a linchpin event for maestro film composer John Barry. After his first Bond score, Dr. No, yielded a stunning main theme but little else of substance, Barry went great guns for Russia, composing a richly stylised soundtrack packed with adventurous melodic lines and taut, inventive arrangements. Though Barry didn't actually write the main Bond theme (that credit goes to old-guard conductor Monty Norman), he takes that familiar tune in some fascinating directions here, applying unorthodox instrumentation and elements of indigenous Russian music. Barry has never been as suspenseful a composer as, say, Bernard Hermann, but he excels with some downright chilly passages on Russia. The score solidified his role as an essential element of the Bond mystique. It also marked the beginning of an intensely prolific period for Barry, a period that would earn him the distinction as one of the 20th century's greatest film composers. From his Bond-film work to The Ipcress File to Midnight Cowboy (and many sublime points between), Barry's mid- to late-1960s canon is without peer. Russia was his springboard. --Matt Hanks

3.0 out of 5 stars From Barry With Love? The groundwork has begun!, 20 Sep 2000
By fastrac007@lineone.net (Leeds, Great Britain) - See all my reviews
After the excellent work John Barry did for the Dr. No soundtrack, it was no surprise that he returned for another stab. The work he did on the Michael Caine promoter, "Zulu", in the same year as Dr. No, merely backs up the decision the producers took.

Besides the main title, the other tune of note is "007". This would be reprised in form or another in every John Barry score and others too. Although it stands as an alternative to the original "James Bond Theme", I dare say that confronted with "007" people would identify it just as easily as the other courtesy of its repetition over the years.

Atmospheric tunes of note include "Meeting In St Sophia" (sic) and "Gypsy Camp" which, respectively, provide haunting and vibrant melody to more interesting areas of the plot.
