Music reviews of Seven Years In Tibet: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack
Music Review: Disappointing
Rating: 2 Stars
Here I sit before my screen hoping that my words will be more flattering to this CD, the soundtrack to Seven Years in Tibet than the above rating shows because it does have some pretty moments, such as the cello solos of Yo Yo Ma. However, unlike Philip Glass' work for Kundun, this CD seem devoid of any Tibetan references, which seems very strange to me considering that if one were to spend seven years in Tibet, or even a week, one would be hard pressed not to be exposed to and moved by the sacred chants and prayers of the Tibetan monks (the time of the story is the 40s/50s). I guess that one of the main points of the film was to show how Mr. Harrer was not a nice man who through his Himalayan experience and his unique friendship with the 14th Dalai Lama, becomes a more aware and thoughtful person. The music does not give me any insight into this process. To me, this film's music could be that of another film loosely based in Asia. Perhaps that is because John Williams would not seem to be that familiar with Tibetan music whereas Philip Glass (with Kundun) is an appropirate choice because of his ongoing interest and commitment to Tibet and her people. I do think that it is great that two major motion pictures were made about the life of the Dalai Lama and his influence and relating to those around him. My advice is to skip the soundtrack for Seven Years in Tibet unless you are a big Yo Yo Ma fan. If you are interested in Tibetan music, try Kundun and Yungchen Lamo's Tibet, Tibet.
