Free Music Review: A captivating time capsule of music from a classic film
Hit: 5 Stars
If you're looking for a good collection of Simon & Garfunkel tunes, you probably want to pass this by. Although there are a few S&G favorites here like The Sound of Silence, April Come She Will and Scarborough Fair, most of the other S&G songs are special film versions that don't always work on their own. They were marvelous in the context of the film however, and if you enjoyed the movie, you will enjoy them on this disc. The other half of the soundtrack employs a delightful lounge-type orchestral score by jazz musician and composer Dave Grusin. These instrumental tracks, consisting of fox trots, cha cha's and the like, when used in the film, represent the world of the adults while the S&G tunes represent the fears, frustrations and concerns of the younger generation. However, the Grusin tracks do work well on their own. They are bouncy, infectious and a lot of fun. The sequencing of the tracks on the album works really well and makes for a truly memorable listening experience. The sound quality is suprisingly good for a disc that hasn't been remastered in over a decade.
The Graduate (1967 Film) Poster
According to a recent article in Variety magazine, director Mike Nichols was obsessed with Simon & Garfunkel while shooting the film; the nation would follow him in that folk-rock obsession when Mrs. Robinson rose to the top of the charts in '68. The film version of that tune appears here alongside The Sound of Silence; Scarborough Fair/Canticle (Interlude); The Big Bright Green Pleasure Machine; April Come She Will , plus a handful of Dave Grusin instrumentals.Classic Rock Music CDs
