Music reviews of The English Patient: Original Soundtrack Recording
Music Review: Gorgeous!
Rating: 5 Stars
There are only two films that I have sat down to watch, and have become completely mesmerised by the soundtrack; "Lord of the Rings", and "The English Patient."
"The English Patient" soundtrack is beautiful. It begins like the beginning of the film, with some Arabic sounding music, something I'm usually not a particular fan of, but this is just beautiful. It comes across classical, only with someone singing. As much of the film takes place in the desert, the style is appropriate.
The film takes place in the 1930s - 1937, if my memory serves. Therefore, some songs are from that era, with artists such as Fred Astaire and Benny Goodman. The songs are in the film - Count Alamsy (our lead male character, played by actor Ralph Fiennes of 'Schindlers List', 'The Reader', 'Harry Potter', 'The End of the Affair', 'Red Dragon', etc.) is constantly singing, and it is something of a running joke in the film. One would think that the era would not mix with the Arabic music, but it does. Perfectly.
As a writer, I like to listen to this soundtrack as I write. It puts me in a mood like few CDs can. However, I have also listened to this soundtrack as I woke up, went to sleep, did the dishes, played a video game, and scrubbed floors - my ears had absolutely no objection.
The soundtrack is worth a listen, even if you cannot sit through the entire film (as it is rather long). Chances are, you will end up like me before I owned the soundtrack, and put the film in as background music, just so you can hear the lovely title song.
