CD ReviewsThought provoking Scott Johnson | 02/16/2007 (4 out of 5 stars) "The music makes the movie linger and the movie is even better than the book. Too bad the CD does not include the children's A La Claire Fontaine sung near the end of the movie. It has been in my head for days. How could they leave that off? I would have bought the CD just for that little haunting song." Sheer beauty... Scott Johnson | 02/24/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "Yes, it was certainly a disappointment that 'A la claire fontaine' was not included on this soundtrack. Still, the CD showcases Alexandre Desplat's beautiful and creative score. It is so subtle, surreal, and lush. I listen to it anytime I am writing or going to sleep. Lang Lang is a brilliant pianist and his rendition of Erik Satie's first Gnossienne is marvelous. Funny thing is, I also thought that the movie was better than the book. It's a shame that it wasn't made very public. It seems like a select group of little theatres played it and then it was gone. I thought that it would certainly have scored several nominations (although it did win the Golden Globe for best score). I highly recommend this exquisite, elaborate collection of music." Desplat's Best Score Yet!! G. Baker | Atlanta, Georgia | 01/21/2007 (5 out of 5 stars) "With all due to respect to Ms. Vincentelli, true film score fans will absolutely adore this gorgeous Desplat offering, which I consider his best yet. Romantic, lush, suspenseful--this score has it all. While it contains some of the subdued quality, and in certain parts, reminds one of Desplat's The Birth, this is yet another original piece from one of the most exciting newer composers out there."
