Music reviews of Frida
Music Review: Perfect for Lovers
Rating: 5 Stars
This soundtrack has been running in our home for the past 5 1/2 years as we travel around the world from the moment I met my girlfriend to the moment she became my wife to now. It is the soundtrack of our life together. You can't find a more romantic soundtrack to drink to and romanticize to.
Lila Down's voice is amazingly powerful, melancholic and fierce. She can change her voice from a low tune to an extremely high tune without any effort whatsoever. She is a legend for sure. One of the greatest singers of all time.
The composer of the songs (Elliot) could not have composed a more beautiful collection of instrumental songs. If I could play these songs on the guitar, my wife would immediately take me in her arms, the songs are so sentimental.
The sound of the guitar is so intruiging, it moves your soul to a level where nothing else in the world matters, but people enjoying the time together.
The final song is almost impossible to describe. Burn It Blue deserved the Oscar in 2003 a million times more than the other songs in that category. This song can't be beaten. Caetano Veloso and Lila Down's voices are simply perfect together and rip your heart out of your soul when your loved one is away.
It is a terribly sentimental song - so beautiful it will stay with you for the rest of your life, as will the rest of the CD. It deserved more than five stars.
Description of Frida
She was famous as both artist and model, infamous as political revolutionary and social libertine, and Frida Kahlo's controversial life couldn't help but seem the stuff of great musical theater. Her story is brought to the screen by director Julie Taymor, whose musical compatriot here is also her husband; Elliot Goldenthal, student of both Copland and Corigliani, shrewdly sublimates his modernism in service of the rich, evocative music and songs of Mexico and Central America. Utilizing performers that range from the contemporary (Lila Downs) to the folk-classic (Costa Rican legend Chavela Vargas; Brazilian star Caetano Veloso) and traditional (Los Cojolites, El Poder Del Norte, Trio Huasteca, Caimanes de Tanquin, and others), Goldenthal generously displays the true breadth of Mexican folk music, while seamlessly infusing it with the minimalist corners of his own underscore and some winning songwriting of his own. The result is one of 2002's most compelling soundtracks. The enhanced CD features include musical film excerpts, as well as a video conversation between Goldenthal and star Salma Hayek and text interviews with the composer and director Taymor. --Jerry McCulleyGeneral CDs
