Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Something Here is an attractive selection of suites from the career of British film and television composer Debbie Wiseman, performed by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the composer's own baton. Wiseman's music is distinguished by an assured grasp of orchestral technique combined with a fluent gift for languid, often melancholic melodic writing. The result is meticulously constructed, consistently charming and frequently beautiful music-making. As an example, sample here her breakthrough score for the romantic drama Tom & Viv (1994), with its characteristic upwardly yearning theme, and note the subtlety of the orchestration as first woodwind and violins, then violas and cellos share the theme between them before the brass section leads the whole towards a poignant climax. The same combination of careful musical structure and naturally fluid melody pervades every item on the disc, though arguably Wiseman's music is most effective in the more introspective pieces: Warriors, Wilde and Haunted, to name three.
If the fine film music performances were not recommendation enough, this album also features the world premiere of a lengthy concert piece, The Ugly Duckling, a setting of the famous fairy tale inspired by her score for Hans Christian Anderson (also recorded here) and delightfully narrated by Nigel Havers--this would make an ideal introduction to orchestral music for any child. As with her previous Oscar Wilde suites, the words have clearly inspired Wiseman to provide music of especial charm and deceptive simplicity, radiant melodies lambently scored. Simply Gorgeous might have been a better album title after all. --Mark Walker
