Free Music Notes for The Red Violin: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Free Music Review: The music tells THIS story
Hit: 5 Stars
This movie is ALL about the music, and the soundtrack is no disappointment! Excellent performances, rich compositions, and a literal sense of the story as it unfolds through the music. Even if you've never seen this movie, you will appreciate the beautiful quality of this soundtrack. It is an instrumental masterpiece, and proof that movie composers truly are the classical masters of this age.Free Music Review: Catching.
Hit: 5 Stars
I know I like a CD if I can just play it in the background and not get bothered by it while working. On that level, it worked well. But soon enough, the musical theme crept in, and started "humming" to it. I saw the movie last year, got a good breakdown of the song in the public radio, and saw how dramatic it was as a figure skating track (with Michelle Kwan). It's a cool CD.Free Music Review: Wonderful
Hit: 5 Stars
I have not yet seen the movie, but the high recommendations on this site encouraged me to purchase the album. The music is all wonderful. The score opens with a subtle transformation from a woman's voice into a violin and closes with the violin changing back into the woman's voice. The Chaconne that is included in the album is exciting and expressive piece that can stand on it's own.Free Music Review: Academy Award Winner!!!

In reference to the review below, this soundtrack WAS up for an Academy Award and won BEST ORIGINAL SCORE. Corigliano was right in prominently thanking Joshua Bell during his acceptance speech. This CD (and the movie) would just be another soundtrack lost in the racks without Bell playing as passionately as he did. Congratulations on the Oscar!!!Free Music Review: So beautiful
Hit: 5 Stars
The Red Violin Soundtrack is a masterpiece by John Corigliano and it's hard to believe these songs hadn't been composed hundreds of years ago. The main theme, "The Red Violin", a violin adagio, is pure poetry, it's hard not to be touched by listening to it. I recommend also the movie, a beautiful picture about a violin with a woman's soul.
