Free Music Notes for The Man From Snowy River: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: Peaceful one moment, exciting the next
Hit: 5 Stars
Anyone who's seen the movie knows that the music and the movie itself are inseparable--you can't have one without the other. The two flow together like a rushing river over its smooth, water-worn stones. But you can't fully appreciate the beauty of the music with all that action (or just chemistry between characters) on the screen. You have to buy the soundtrack for that. This is one of my very favorite soundtracks of all time, and I am a true music fan who listens to just about everything but rap--from Christian rock to Celtic folk. Buy it today, and get ready to immerse yourself in music at its own finest. . . . When you're upset, play "Jessica's Theme" and it will soothe you. When you need to wake up, on the other hand, put on "Jim's Ride"!Free Music Review: those who like traditional movies will like this
Hit: 5 Stars
This film is civil and reasonable. Most modern "westerns" are pessimistic, silly, violent, and have nothing to do with tradition. This is odd because they epitify the definition of tradition in the U.S. Some years ago I stopped watching new movies period because they have become of the things Hollywood and Canada concentrate on. So I miss the occasional reasonable film that is released to the public. I just found this one. It is a must-see and very appropriate for family. The opening scene seems a little negative but the rest of the movie is just grand. There is a sequel but I haven't seen it.This movie is set in Australia but will be appealing to anyone who likes Westerns, horses, mountain men stories, etc, etc.
Free Music Review: Magnificent!
Hit: 5 Stars
This music truly moved me. I owned the vinyl, but had not listened to this soundtrack for years. This music fom Bruce Rowland fills the soul with it's powerful orchestration. One can almost feel the wind in our face and hear the deafening sound of the horses racing by in the opening track and again in The Chase. A majestic feeling envelopes when listening to Jim Brings In The Brumbies. Romantic and touching are Jessica's Sonata and Henry Dies/Farewell To Frew. This CD is a MUST for any music lover! Rowland's film score moves me to tears with it's sheer beauty! I shall never tire of it.Free Music Review: Music that touches the heart, and stirs the soul!
Hit: 5 Stars
I wholeheartedly agree with the other reviews about how beautiful the music is in this movie. I can honestly say that it is some of the most incredibly beautiful music I have ever heard. I can listen to this music over and over again, and never tire of it. It makes me want to move to Australia, and take my horse out and gallop her through the mountains, just like Jim Craig does in the movie! This evocative music will never stop touching my heart, and I will enjoy the beauty of it forever. Thank you, Bruce Rowland, for bringing this incredible music into our lives.Free Music Review: Fantastic! Romantic! No finer score in filmdom!
Hit: 5 Stars
It was by no mistake that this album won the Australian soundtrack of the year when it came out. It probably would have won in any year. Bruce Rowland, considered by many to be the John Williams of Australia, composed a grand score with very soft interludes among which "Jessica's Theme" ("Breaking the Colt") is most noteworthy. The romantic lyricism of "Jessica's Theme" with it's melancholy piano is unparalleled. The correlating scene in the film "The Man from Snowy River" is doubly without rival.
