Free Music Review: Another TKO for Thomas Newman
Hit: 5 Stars
I've been a fan of Newman's compositions since he scored "The Shawshank Redemption." And while I feel that he may never out-do his own work on "American Beauty", there's no question that he's created a niche for himself and his composing style. There is a "Newman Sound." It's undoubtedly graced your ears several times before.
Having not seen the film yet, I bought this CD in anticipation of what Thomas' interpretation of what 'Cinderella Man' would be. Through his seemingly endless supply of short, haunting, introspective melodies and quick bursts of emotion I was taken into the heart of what I believe this film is truly about - love, strength, and honor. And as a result, I simply can't wait to see it - if for no other reason than to see the visuals that inspired the genius that is Thomas Newman.
Like many of Newman's soundtrack recordings, there are about 4 tracks of music from the film that are 1930's originals. And like many of the period pieces he's scored in the past, these songs break up Newman's score quite nicely. Unlike much of the old-style porch music that you've heard in previous scores, these songs are much closer to Jazz than anything else. If you're into that style, you'll find this to be quite a bonus.
For those of you who purchase soundtracks, I highly suggest you pick up this classic. For other Newman fans such as myself, it's a must have - get it now. My only hope is that the Academy recognize the fundamental artistry of one of the most unquestionably classical composers of our age, and finally give this man the oscar he so righteously deserves.

SOUNDTRACK CINDERELLA MAN (EL LUCHADOR)For this movie about 1930s boxer Jim Braddock (Russell Crowe), director Ron Howard interrupted his longtime collaboration with composer James Horner and teamed up with Thomas Newman. It?s a wise decision: Newman has a lighter touch and his somber palette emphasizes the fact that Cinderella Man is more thoughtful drama than mere brawling flick (even a track titled "Pugilism" eschews obvious punchiness in favor of ominous, rolling tribal-like percussion. Elsewhere, "Weehawken Ferry" illustrates Newman's ability to write swelling, majestic music that's not bombastic. Typical of the subdued approach is Paul Giamatti?s version of "Londonderry Air," which he delicately whistles. The score is interspersed with a few lovely Depression-era tunes such as Chicago tenor saxist Bud Freeman?s "Tilliešs Downtown Now," Roane's Pennsylvanians' "We?ve Got to Put that Sun Back in the Sky," and especially Eddie Cantor?s wonderfully biting "Cheer Up, Smile, Nertz" ("Our judges are queer/Our banks disappear/And all the while they tell us to smiiiiile"). --Elisabeth Vincentelli
