Music reviews of Cast Away: The Films of Robert Zemekis & The Music of Alan Silvestri

Music Review: Simply: Beautiful
Rating: 5 Stars

The namesake for this CD, Cast Away - is an all-time personal favorite movie. Every time I watch the movie and hear that beautiful music at the end...the piece captures the loneliness, the fear, the longing, and four years of being alone.

The music associated with the end credits of Cast-Away is some of the best I have ever heard. To clarify erroneous info from previous reviewers, the cut on this CD is EXACTLY the same as the end-credit piece on the DVD. The sound-effects of the wind and waves, interspersed with POWERFUL (emotional) cords is what is heard during the end-credits.

This CD is a compilation of music from many Silvestri (amazing composer) movies. The other pieces are classic Alan Silvestri - "One hears that music, and what can one say...but 'Silvestri'". (Mozart..from Amadeus)

The purchase price is well worth this amazing music.

Description of Cast Away: The Films of Robert Zemekis & The Music of Alan Silvestri

It might seem odd for Cast Away to be prominently featured on this retrospective soundtrack. First off, the film's score is heard only in the final third of the film. But Alan Silvestri's seven-minute end-credit track is a beautiful theme for the film and works as a stand-alone: it won a Grammy for best instrumental composition. The nine other cuts trace the music that composer Silvestri has created for director Robert Zemeckis, and theirs is one of the prolific collaborations in American cinema. Presented in chronological order, the album starts with the rousing themes of Romancing the Stone and Back to the Future. All the cuts are available on their respective soundtrack CDs (the first and last track being the exceptions), and a few are on Silvestri's other retrospective album, Voyages. Yet this CD shows the range of the composer and director, from the Hitchcockian take for What Lies Beneath to the slow-building fanfare of Forrest Gump, which marks Silvestri's only Oscar?-nominated score. --Doug Thomas
