Free Music Notes for Opera Sauvage
Free Music Review: Ok.
Hit: 2 Stars
after "Bladerunner" and "The City", I've been reviewing more of Vangelis' work. Opera Sauvage doesn't touch the quality or talent I was so impressed by in my first two album reviews, but its Ok.
I've so far come to categorize Vangelis into three catagories: (1)Impressive, Spiritual & Moody (2)slightly boring, dated and unimpressive (3)Horrible ... as in the 1492 Soundtrack.
A quick "wtf?" to anyone who gave 1492 a good review.
Opera Sauvage falls into the category #2 for me.
Opera Sauvage Poster
Noted film composer Maurice Jarre scored the soundtrack to The Year of Living Dangerously, but the theme everyone remembers from that film is "L'enfant" by Vangelis. That track originally appeared on Opera Sauvage, a Vangelis album that slipped in under the radar just before he scored Chariots of Fire. The simple pentatonic theme of "L'enfant," with the piano chirping out the sparse melody over a two-note synthesizer ostinato, remains powerfully evocative. The cinematic expressiveness of "L'enfant" can be found on most of the music from Opera Sauvage, including the mournful "Hymne," the tremulous "Mouettes" with its quavering thereminlike lead, and the surprising "Chromatique," one of the few times Vangelis uses an acoustic guitar. Perhaps the most surprising aspect of Opera Sauvage is that the entire album wasn't co-opted for soundtrack music. --John DilibertoDance & DJ Music CDs
