Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
What are legends for if not reinventing?--and/or hyper-inflating into Hollywood summer fare? In retooling the Arthurian legend for the goth-beguiled video game age, mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer did away with details small (the lady in the lake, sword in the stone, etc.) and large (this Arthur is actually Eastern European, by way of Rome). Composer Hans Zimmer picks up that gauntlet, producing an orchestral score bristling with massed brass, chorus and percussion--if little of the indigenous mysticism that made his work on Gladiator/ so rewarding. What there is of that precious commodity is frontloaded via the song "Tell Me Know (What You See)," his evocative opening collaboration with Clannad's Moya Brennan. From there, Zimmer emphasized this version's Eastern conceits with a half-dozen suites of cues that thunder in the Russian classical tradition--and all the melodic range of "Jingle Bells." Zimmer--not to mention Poledouris--has done it better, but fans of outsized orchestral Gothic moodfests may yet take this one to heart. --Jerry McCulley
Album Description
The King Arthur soundtrack features the score by the widely acclaimed composer Hans Zimmer. Zimmer won an Oscar in 1994 for Best Score for his work on The Lion King and has also been nominated a further six times for films such as Gladiator, Rain Man and The Thin Red Line. His King Arthur soundtrack is equally as epic and grand in scale, and could very well be one of his greatest works to date.
