Music reviews of Field Of Dreams: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Review: Stands on its own apart from the film...
Rating: 5 Stars
I like classical music in general, but there's something about a soundtrack or film score that, sometimes, can be far more impactful. I have read some Amazon reviews for the Schindler's List and Shawshank Redemption scores that were very high praise. I recently listened to both and frankly, though interesting, I think the listener may have been intertwining the music with their memory of dramatic scenes from each movie...an easy thing to do. In short, I didn't think, on their own, that either score deserved the high praise that was noted. Again, I'm sure it may have been very moving in conjunction with each film though.
And that is my main and noteworthy praise for the Field of Dreams soundtrack. I've played this music at various times with people who have asked me, "...what is this music that you're playing? It's gorgeous!" And, yes...it is very moving music. At times simple and whimsical, at other times elegant and even majestic. Who wouldn't want to listen to that kind of musical variety and range?
Description of Field Of Dreams: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Elmer Bernstein, among the greatest of the golden age film composers, has lamented that there's not enough "artistry" in soundtracks today. He abhors the pop hit collections that pass for movie music albums, and the man's got a point. Perhaps he'd go for Horner's score to Phil Alden Robinson and W. P. Kinsella's fairytale ode to fathers, sons, and baseball. It's as evocative as the film itself, a shimmering corn field or a late-afternoon fly ball in every note. It's warm ("The Cornfield" is sweet, subtle, heartbreaking--like an echo, really), fun ("Old Ball Players" recalls Randy Newman's Ragtime score), and stirring ("The Place Where Dreams Come True" doesn't need a father-and-son game of catch to move you). A gem. No, a diamond! --Robert WilonskyGeneral CDs
