Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Rimsky-Korsakov's Scheherazade lives on inevitably, but, thankfully, composer Richard Harvey hasn't chosen to follow suit with the Hallmark studio's need to contemporise these classic tales. Although there is a decidedly romantic style throughout--alongside some ethnic touches for surprise guest stars--there is no attempt to layer with electronics or rhythm tracks. Jason Scott Lee's appearance as Ali Baba brings the most variation to the music, with an instrumental ensemble including qanun, oud, dumbek, darabukka and erhu. These sprinkles of oriental flavour are nicely woven into the Arabic whole, whose principal voice is the unique throaty warblings of Natacha Atlas. In 70 minutes, there are only a few raucous outbursts as violence breaks out (eg, "Schazzanan's Army" or "Under Cover of Darkness/Thieves Sent Tumbling"), which makes for a largely tranquil listening experience. Sequencing 27 cues closely together also avoids a potential disjointedness. As is often the case with the Hallmark series, this music is far more appreciable away from the film's sound mix. --Paul Tonks

5.0 out of 5 stars a fabulous soundtrack, 15 May 2002
By A Customer
i bought this cd in the hope of getting some of the ethnic style mucic from the tv program of the same name. i was not disappointed. the arabic/turkish blend of music is fantastic and one track follows the other. although the same rythem is used over and over throughout the cd, different instruments create a viraety that keeps the listner intrested. an example of this is my fave track 2. the main title music and then 15. the storytell, which is basically the same song- but never the less a fab cd and well worth adding to your collection.
