Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

One of his finest scores, Patrick Doyle's music for Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet (1996) combines the introspective sensibilities of his work on A Little Princess and Sense and Sensibility (both 1995) with the romanticism of Much Ado About Nothing (1993). His finest theme since "Non Nobis Domine" (from his score for Branagh's Henry V, available on EMI), Doyle's "In Pace" is a haunting, versatile offering for the troubled title character. Alternately heroic ("Give me your pardon, sir") and broodingly tense ("To be or not to be"), the theme never loses sight of Hamlet's continuing search for peace. The best variations are found in "What a piece of work is a man" and "I loved you once." A song version of "In Pace," performed by Plácido Domingo over the end credits, displays the wide-ranging properties of the melody, moving from a bottom D to a top B-flat. A childlike theme for the tragic Ophelia (Kate Winslet) is particularly effective when heard in conjunction with Hamlet's material ("If once a widow"). Elsewhere, Claudius is represented by canonical devices with modern, tormented harmonies ("Now could I drink hot blood"). Doyle's score is rare in its assumption that the prince was a congenial man until becoming overwhelmed by the sheer weight of the play's events. Because of this unique perspective, Hamlet represents a unique chapter in the ever-expanding canon of Shakespearean film music. --Kevin Mulhall
