Free Music Notes for Kundun: Music From The Original Soundtrack

Free Music Review: Music does not stand alone
Hit: 2 Stars

The movie is great and the music fits the movie very well. But without the movie to watch, the music isn't very interesting. The soundtrack has many boring stretches, but if you were watching the movie, the music would make sense.

Contrast this soundtrack with that of The Hours, Notes On A Scandal, The Illusionist, Pan's Labyrinth or The Fountain to name just a few. These are great soundtracks either with or without the movie. In other words, the music is independent of the movies.

So, you may find my 2-star rewview to be harsh, but as a stand-alone soundtrack, Kundun is well below average.

Kundun: Music From The Original Soundtrack Poster

For the second of 1997's dueling Buddhist epics (the other being Seven Days in Tibet, scored by John Williams), director Martin Scorsese made a wise--if commercially challenging--choice in tapping noted minimalist composer Philip Glass to score Kundun. Glass (who's previously scored the avant garde documentary Koyaanisqatsi trilogy, Mishima, and the strange Candyman horror series), is the perfect choice here; his own Buddhist beliefs play a key role in meshing image and music. Glass's familiar compositional techniques are wedded on Kundun to a sensitive use of ethnic instruments and the voices of the Gyuto Monks, adding an aura of spiritual power missing from most Hollywood fare. --Jerry McCulley
