Music reviews of King Arthur
Music Review: Better than the movie!
Rating: 5 Stars
I saw the movie in theaters and was disappointed. But I did go out and buy the soundtrack. The music is haunting and beautiful. The Celtic influences are felt throughout. The titles are also "punny", such as "Another Brick in Hadrian's Wall."
I would say it's third after the Pirates movies and Gladiator.
Description of King Arthur
What are legends if not for reinventing -- and/or hyper-inflating into Hollywood summer fare? In retooling the Arthurian legend for the goth-beguiled video game age, mega-producer Jerry Bruckheimer did away with details small (the lady in the lake, sword in the stone, etc.) and large (this Arthur is actually Eastern European, by way of Rome). Composer Hans Zimmer picks up that gauntlet, producing an orchestral score bristling with massed brass, chorus and percussion -- if little of the indigenous mysticism that made his work on Gladiator/ so rewarding. What there is of that precious commodity is frontloaded via the song "Tell Me Know (What You See)," his evocative opening collaboration with Clannad's Moya Brennan. From there, Zimmer emphasized this version's Eastern conceits with a half-dozen suites of cues that thunder in the Russian classical tradition -- and all the melodic range of "Jingle Bells." Zimmer--not to mention Poledouris--has done it better, but fans of outsized orchestral Gothic moodfests may yet take this one to heart. --Jerry McCulleyGeneral CDs
