Hit: 5 Stars
There are few soundtracks that set my blood racing: this is one of them. Mr. Poledouris' musical rendition for Victor Hugo's "Les Miserables" is, quite simply, epic. From the prison quarries to Paris, from the struggle between mercy and justice (Val Jean and Javert), to tenderness and battle (Cosette and the ABC Club), Poledouris has captured it all. The main theme evokes images not only the policeman on the hunt, but the students on the barricade - in one spectacular brass arrangement. A particular favourite is the beginning of track three, where the simplicity of Val Jean and Cosette's relationship (in a delicate flute) is suddenly contrasted with the bustle of the Parisian streets (in bubbling woodwinds and strings). Perhaps the only complaint is that the CD has four tracks (or suites), making the voluntary shift between individual strains difficult to impossible. However, this limitation DOES retain the epic congruity of the novel and the album, a stroke of thoughtful genius from the label. Lovers of the novel, the movie, the play, or simply majestic symphonies, will well enjoy this brilliant composition.
