5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful sonic painting in water colours, 19 Nov 2007

By	Abel "AMY" (Hong Kong) - See all my reviews

This original soundtrack ranks among the best by French composer Desplat, and certainly among the best of such genre, the Schindler's List included.
The music as well as the performance were superb. Too sad that the sound engineer passed away shortly after this track was being completed.
While Chinese pianist Lang Lang is not known primarily for playing French repertoire, his interpretation of Desplat's score and the Satie piece are totally in sync with the style.
Especially enchanting are the predominantly watery images employed in the music.
It would have been perfect if the French song was being included, as well as the Chinese opera excerpt.

5.0 out of 5 stars Haunting, 7 Nov 2007

By	R. J. Cross (England) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is a masterpiece. The music haunted me through the film, especially Gnossience no1. This is a proper sound track that speaks through the movie and delights on it's own.

4.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful music but not for the hard of hearing., 11 Mar 2009

By	Peter Taylor (London UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Beautiful collection of melodies and very well played too. The satie track is slightly too staccato for my taste but never really irritating. A must-buy for anyone who has seen this film, which is also excellent. Only four stars because the recording level is so low. Rip it off to MP3 and you'll have trouble hearing it. I have some upscaling software which has solved this problem for me but most people won't know what that is or how to use it so beware.
