Free Music Notes for Interview With The Vampire: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Vampire Psychology Unveiled In Music
Hit: 5 Stars
Having read every novel of the Vampire Chronicles and continuously re-examining the psychology makeup of both films, Interview With The Vampire and Queen Of The Damned, I can say for certain that this soundtrack well depicts the changing times (18th to 20th century Europe and North America) in the film. "Libera Me", the stunningly beautiful opening number creates an incredibly "vampiric" mood and setting. Elliot Goldenthal, researched very well, the changing eras, the vampires Louis, Lestat and Claudia and their visits; journeys and creates incredible climaxes for each of the characters in the film and the situations they undertake. "Tarantella", for example is well utilized when Lestat dances with Claudia's mother's corpse in celebration that Louis has finally taken human life for a blood kill. A beautiful soundtrack, that travels through the ages and times. A journey for the mind...and soul!
Free Music Review: A FANTASTICALLY DARK & ROMANTIC MASTERPIECE
Hit: 5 Stars
Elliot Goldenthal is one of the great composers of our time. This work, is a most fabulous piece, a solid classical recording. Dark from beginning to end, there is no light here. Only for pure marketing reasons did they put the Gun's 'n' Rose's song,(at the very end, thankfully, why didn't they use Sandra Bernhardt's version?) This recording flows beautifully, if one ever has a monstrous Halloween party it must be played! This recording at times does seem like something from a classical composer from many ages ago, I do wish they had put some of the piano pieces on this recording from past composers as they did in the film. This CD is one to play with your companion & friends while drinking red wine. So, purchase this CD & all your friends will thank you for it.Free Music Review: BEST SOUNDTRACK EVER FOR BEST MOVIE EVER!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the most wonderful soundtrack I own and is my favorite album for that matter. Elliot Goldenthal's work is a classical masterpiece. The classical pieces (by more famous composers) included in the film complemented Goldenthal's score perfectly, but they were not included on this album. My favorite songs are (in the following order, best to least best): "Louis' Revenge", "Libera Me," "Plantation Pyre", and "Sympathy for the Devil." Unlike some of the reviewers, I thought that the GNR song was a great fit at the end of the soundtrack. To me, it was a cocky, arrogant view on the life Louis and Lestat led, and it made a solid end to the album. I have three copies of this soundtrack and only wish there were a longer version of it.Free Music Review: Absolutely gorgeous!
Hit: 5 Stars
"Born to Darkness" is the most beautiful theme you will ever have heard. At the same time it is so terribly sad and that makes the piece so fascinating.The whole atmosphere of the story and the setting is reflected in the music and the mood it creates.
If you have watched the film several times and then listen to this album, you really see it again before your eyes.
Listen to it in a dark room and you might even be scared, funny as it sounds!
The Guns'n'Roses one may not be missing, of course. Being placed at the end it serves as a kind of relief from the grieving but yet inspiring mood the orchestral music conveys.
This one's for lovers of classical music as well as those who like somber and austere art.
Free Music Review: A score you can sink your teeth into
Hit: 5 Stars
When I saw "Interview with the Vampire" in the theater, one of my favorite things about the film was Elliot Goldenthal's superb musical score. And I'm happy to report that the CD of the score stands on its own as a superb piece of art. Goldenthal effectively hits many moods over the course of the disc: frenzied, over-the-top, mournful, ominous, magical, majestic. He makes good use of a boys' choir, and I was also impressed by his incorporation of instruments like the harpsichord.This is a diverse, richly colored, unabashedly emotional musical odyssey. I recommend this to all fans of film scoring; for fans of the talented Goldenthal, it's an absolutely essential CD.
