Band Of Brothers - Original Motion Picture Soundtrack on CD

Description

Amazon.co.uk When Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks collaborated on the Academy Award-winning Saving Private Ryan, an abiding passion to further honour the young fighting soldiers of WWII was born in both men, resulting in Band of Brothers, an ambitious 10-part mini-series based on historian Stephen Ambrose's account of a 101st Airborne regiment as it fought its way across Europe. In scoring the sweeping project, Michael Kamen has eschewed much of the martial music familiar from past war epics in favour of the quiet, largely introspective sound that has informed modern battle films from Platoon through Private Ryan and The Thin Red Line. And if his reverential, often somber tones capture the dignity of the soldiers and the gravity of the events, they sometimes do so at the expense of other human dimensions--and the lively pop music of the 1940s. Still, Kamen's work strikes an impressive balance, fusing the pastoral with subtle modern rhythm touches and utilising spare piano solos, a darkly ironic use of Beethoven's String Quartet in C-Sharp Minor, and a memorable, elegiac main theme. --Jerry McCulley Product description About this ItemThe item format is a CDeurope, 2001The Artist Name is Michael KamenThe Title is Band Of Brothers (Music From The HBO Miniseries)The Catalog Number is SK 89719Condition UsedOther CommentsNice CopyThe Media Condition is Very Good PlusVisually this disk may have light-visible wear, marks, and or hairlines.
