Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Nicole Kidman playing a singing prostitute? Ewan McGregor channeling the Police? If the soundtrack to director Baz Luhrmann's freakish musical Moulin Rouge has its way, we'll all be wearing corsets and swinging from the ceiling while the former Mrs. Tom Cruise becomes our favorite new pop sensation. As daring as Luhrmann himself, the compositions test Kidman--who could have easily used a league of backup singers and studio knob-twiddlers to hide her inexperience--and she actually passes. She's no Olivia Newton-John, but she capably mixes Madonna's "Material Girl" with "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" (which is as breathy as Marilyn would've wanted it to be) and goes full throttle on any medley thrown her way. Her cover of "One Day I'll Fly Away" is especially poignant given her much-publicized personal tragedies. Ewan, though, is a real star; his giggly schoolboy brogue morphs into a fun cradle for Paul McCartney's Wings as well as U2's Bono on "Elephant Love Medley." Beck's cover of David Bowie's "Diamond Dogs" is a hit waiting to happen, while Pattie LaBelle's '70s staple "Lady Marmalade" (remade by an all-star cast of divas, Lil' Kim and Christina Aguilera among them) already is. A delicious, racy soundtrack that is equal parts cabaret, glam rock, and trip-hop, Moulin Rouge doesn't disappoint. -Kristy MartinCustomer Reviews:

There are but two kinds of people in the world: Those captivated by Baz Luhrmann's heady, postmodernist musical romp Moulin Rouge--and everybody else. Oddly, the film's initial soundtrack release may have been the project's most traditional element, marketing a slate of pop-star contributions that gave listeners a sometimes-skewed perspective on its true musical charms. This follow-up corrects much of that oversight, offering original film versions of "Sparkling Diamonds" (the lavish, Nicole Kidman-performed medley of "Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend" and "Material Girl"), Jim Broadbent's and Richard Roxburgh's loopy take on "Like a Virgin," as well as the lively Offenbach "Can Can" parody "The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)." It also pays homage to the efforts of composer Craig Armstrong, whose quietly compelling underscore often binds the film's other far-flung musical influences together, be they stately orchestral readings of Elton John's "Your Song," a dramatic arrangement for Kidman and Ewan MacGregor's original film duet of "Come What May," or his dark, melodramatic take on Queen's "The Show Must Go On." The first Moulin Rouge soundtrack collection flaunted the film's bold, cross-genre ambitions; this one chronicles its nakedly emotional heart and soul. --Jerry McCulleyAlbum Details
Volume Two Includes the Memorable Renditions of 'like a Virgin' and 'your Song' and 'the Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular).' It also features a Mix of the Nicole Kidman Song 'one Day I'll Fly Away.'Customer Reviews:
Wow........2007-01-15
The highlights of the album are:
-Your Song (Instrumental)
-Sparkling Diamonds (original film version)
-Come What May (original film version)
-The Show Must Go On (original film version)
In my opinion, "The Show Must Go On" is the best song on this album...it was just so perfect for the ending of the movie, and I fell in love with the song. I was so disappointed that it wasn't on the first soundtrack. This song is part of what makes the second soundtrack so amazing...the song is fierce!!
If you love the movie and are a fan of the first soundtrack, then definitely, get this one. Many of the songs are versions taken straight from the movie - I recommend this with 4.5 stars...you will NOT be disappointed!
Love this CD.......2006-07-04
I gave this 5 stars even though it's about a 4.5 because they split the soundtrack over two seperate cds.
Could it get any better?.......2006-03-02
Moulin rouge tried to fill up the GAP.......2006-02-12
Baz did the smart thing, taking the audiences favorite music, a few gems from the first soundtrack such as "Come What May" and "Sparkling Diamonds" as well as a few new songs, like "Like a Virgin", "The Show Must Go On" and "The Pitch (Spectacular Spectacular)" and releasing the Original Film versions, allowing for the amazing vocal performances of the actors, including the fabulous Jim Broadbent, to be shine through. Also, released is background music "Meet Me in the Red Room", played during Christian's arrival in the elephant, marking the only non-actor/orchestral piece within the context of the CD.
One thing that this soundtrack included that I didn't expect was several orchestral pieces that were mostly used as background music throughout the film. "Your Song - Instrumental" (#1) has personally become a favorite and is constantly being repeated in the CD player. Also included is the ending credits music "Bolero" and the final piece ... known as "Ascension/Nature Boy". Also included is a remix of "One Day I'll Fly Away", and like all MR remixes, is a little tough to listen to at first but after repeat listening, it becomes music to your ears.
To all you MR diehards out there: this is a must. Not like I could stop you anyways. To others who haven't been introduced to the spectacular (spectacular) world of Moulin Rouge, this is a great introductory piece, especially side-by-side with the first soundtrack.

Packed with Big Ideas about the future of mankind and dispatched with a distant, often icy veneer, Steven Spielberg's Artificial Intelligence can scarcely camouflage its roots. It was begun by the late Stanley Kubrick in the mid-'80s; Spielberg collaborated briefly a decade later, bowed out, then inherited it upon Kubrick's death in '99. And while the late auteur's cold vision seems largely intact (if now infused with Spielberg's enduring Pinocchio fetish), it's safe to say that Kubrick's often challenging musical tastes would probably not have led him to composer John Williams's doorstep. Nonetheless, the acclaimed veteran again rises to the occasion, ably demonstrating that he's hardly been indifferent to 20-odd-years of minimalism and postmodernism and that, as always, the best film music is often a subtly crafted pastiche of sensibilities and styles. Setting the tone of the film's robotically enhanced not-so-distant future, "The Mecha World" crackles and glistens with Steve Reich's rhythmic urgency and John Adams's dense coloration, while "Abandoned in the Woods," "Hide and Seek," and "Rouge City" succeed by setting Williams's more traditional sense of melody against Phillip Glass's hypnotic arpeggios. There's also a sense that the composer has craftily evoked the ghost of Kubrick music past and 2001 in particular; "Replicas" and "Stored Memories" bring to mind Ligeti, while the mournful strings of "Cybertronics" seem a ghostly echo of Khachaturian's "Gayane Ballet Suite." David Foster's ballad "For Always" (in a solo rendition by Lara Fabian and a duet between Fabian and Josh Groban) seems twice-included strictly to enhance the album's radio allure. Completists should also note that Ministry's dark contribution to the film's Flesh Fair sequence, "What About Us?" is not included on this soundtrack, but is available on their Greatest Fits compilation. Arguably Williams's most musically adventurous score since his landmark Close Encounters, A.I. should take its place among the most distinctive of the composer's long and bounteous collaboration with Spielberg. --Jerry McCulleyCustomer Reviews:
The music is masterfully composed with wit, majesty, and soul.......2006-06-19
Beautiful .......2006-02-20
I would definately say this is one of his best. It reminds me of some of the other Spielberg collaboration scores. Mainly, Empire of the Sun, and War of the Worlds. Lots of the score is wonderful emotional underscoring. It's very complex, and full of interesting scales and keys. Of course, there is plenty of gorgeous thematic material to make the score complete. Honestly, I have never heard a bad John Williams score. Come to think of it, I've never heard one that was less than brilliant and amazing. Really, give this a listen.
Please vote me helpful!
John Williams does his best Minimalist Impersonation with Fine Results.......2006-02-05
Of course Williams, just like Steven Spielberg, can't help but pour on the schmaltz once in a while. The main theme of the film is the one used for the song " For Always ". When this music is played by piano and orchestra it's quite beautiful. When the soprano Barbara Bonney sings it with wordless vocals, it's very evocative of the mood in the film. HOWEVER, I have no idea what John Williams was thinking when he basically turns this beautiful, simple theme into a corny pop song. Oh wait, I know exactly what he was thinking, he was trying to generate a pop hit! Ugh. When Lara Fabian sings " For Always " on track 5, you grind your teeth and barely make it through. When on track 13, Lara Fabian is joined by Josh Groban for a duet version of the same song, it becomes intolerable schmaltz at it's worst.
So yes, there is much satisfying work here by everyone's most lovable film composer John Williams, just don't listen to tracks 5 and 13 so your musical sensibilities won't be irreparably damaged!
The last word from me, A.I., terrific soundtrack that rivals Williams' best, sayonara!
Will one day be considered among the best he's written.......2005-12-29
This score by John Williams will one day be considered among the best he's written. Highly underrated, yet greatly poignant.
I agree with other reviewers who have warned that this is not in the Star Wars / Indiana Jones vein. If you're looking for big, bombastic symphonic music, look elsewhere. This is very sentimental, but beautifully done music. It demonstrates John Williams' talent for matching the music to the film's intention. As his resume' demonstrates, John Williams can write music for just about every film, including a misunderstood "Spielberg/Kubrick" collaboration.
"The Reunion" (final track) is one of the best tracks of orchestra/piano music ever written. The lullaby-like song is the same melody as was used in "For Always," and it is achingly beautiful.
Appropriately, this final track is played in the film while David being (finally) reunited with his "mother."
Almost Impeccable.......2004-04-26
Several tracks stand out in this masterpiece. The twin versions of "For Always," one featuring Lara Fabian and the other featuring Josh Groban in a duet with Ms. Fabian are wonderfully pure. In solo form, Lara's voice is wonderfully smooth and has a subtle almost untrained quality that lends a genuineness to her singing. In the duet, Mr. Groban's silky smooth baritone perfectly offsets Lara's clear soprano. The penultimate song, titled "The Reunion" is a stunning, gorgeous lullaby of a piece that features a plaintive, almost childish piano theme. The simplicity is subtlely complex as the theme winds through an entire emotional range, from triumphant happiness to simple joy to black despair, and finally back into an almost heartbreaking lullaby.
Mr. Williams has displayed a wide variety of musical styles in this soundtrack. For fans of his that are desiring a "Star Wars" fanfare and overpowering orchestral pieces, this soundtrack is not for you. I personally prefer this collection to most of his other works.

It's been six years since these same performers got together to create one of the decade's more unusual experiments in musical alchemy. Beginning with the raw materials of early music and modern jazz, the four male voices of the Hilliard Ensemble joined with jazz saxophonist Jan Garbarek to see what would happen when the proper measure of old music and new style were combined, shaped by the performers' considerable experience and collective aesthetic vision. The success of that recording, titled Officium, and subsequent concert performances paved the way for this second effort, continuing the performers' search for artistically meaningful, musically satisfying combinations of written music and improvisatory elements. The odd title of the new recording comes from a mystical poem by Friedrich Hölderlin, quoted in the liner notes and accompanied by pictures from Ingmar Bergman's The Seventh Seal. Officium aficionados will notice that Mnemosyne is even more adventurous in its explorations, which range farther and farther from the printed page. Musical fragments and a general outline are the starting points for several pieces. Improvisation is more frequently and freely employed, but always adheres to an agreed stylistic framework. Alongside a Tallis hymn or a chant by Hildegard, we hear Iroquois and Peruvian song fragments, an ancient Greek tune, and a beautiful lullaby by Veljo Tormis. Garbarek's tasteful improvisations are appropriate additions, inspired commentaries. The Hilliards are even better than on Officium; their awareness and sensitivity brings everything together into a truly unified expression that shows the timelessness of music and reminds us that where rhythm, melody, and musical imagination join, different styles, centuries, and genres are not necessarily obstacles to compatibility. --David VernierCustomer Reviews:

Blue Angel.......2006-09-05
It's followed up by a sampling of Sanders' singles -- mostly romantic ballads, several with a touch of French in them "Embrasse," "Melancolie": alluding both to her success with "Moulin Rouge" and her admiration for Edith Piaf who was a great influence on her art. Like the greatest vocalists, Sanders uses the emotional qualities of her voice to treat each song as a story. As mentioned in the album's liner notes, Paul Newman called her a "method singer."
Often backed by a heavenly chorus of violins, each of these recordings is worthy to stand alongside of the ballads of Nat "King" Cole, Doris Day, et al., as among the most beautiful and romantic ever recorded. All *should* have been huge hits, and after repeated listenings to the album, they're becoming as familiar and eternal to me as the songs I've known and loved for many years.
The lullabye, "My Curly Headed Baby," is too beautiful for words. "How Long Has This Been Going On" is another masterpiece. "Blue Star," her only other charting hit, is a haunting ballad that can only be described as magical.
The second half of the cd revives her "At the Blue Angel" lp, and attempts to capture the appeal of her live cabaret show in New York's nightclub of that name. Included in this section is her version of Johnny Mercer's "(Ah! The Apple Trees) When the World was Young" which has been a big favorite of mine for several years now.
In short, this is a rapturously thrilling album and Felicia Sanders and will hopefully begin to establish her as one of the greatest voices of the 20th Century.
I May Not Remember Your Name.......2006-08-23
Good, but unrecognized talent .......2006-08-16
This CD consists of two separate parts; the first 16 tracks constitute a "Best of Felicia Sanders" collection, while the last 12 are a reissue of an LP she did, simulating a nightclub session, complete with audience applause.
In the first 16-track section, she starts with the song which was her only really big hit, but which gained her very little financial satisfaction or recognition, because it was marketed (in the way songs always were in the Big Band era, but not usually in 1953, when it was done!) under the name of the orchestra leader, Percy Faith, with vocalist Sanders' name listed in smaller-type letters afterwards. This song, "The Song from Moulin Rouge," was a #1 hit for many weeks, and should have ensured Felicia Sanders' stardom, except that she never got the credit she deserved. The first 16 tracks also include the only other song she recorded to crack the top 30, "Blue Star," whose melody was the theme of a popular TV program, "Medic," but with words written afterwards for her vocal performance. The remaining 14 tracks of this part are all obscure songs, though many of them sound quite pleasant. They are worth listening to, even if you'll likely not recognize any of them.
The second part of the CD is, as stated earlier, a reissue of an LP that attempted to reconstruct a night-club session, the part of Sanders' career that brought her greater success. This part includes, in contrast to the first part, many well-known songs and demonstrates her flexibility very well. It is a pleasure to listen to her versions of these songs, and one wonders whether she'd have done better if she'd been allowed to record old standards like these instead of the obscure songs she did. (One wishes, though, that they'd included one song she introduced in her night-club act which became much more famous, in versions by other singers, later on, a song called "In Other Words" which later became better known as "Fly Me to the Moon.") This section concludes with a recording of the same song that started the first section, her biggest hit, "The Song from Moulin Rouge," in a quite differently performed version.
I almost gave this CD 5 stars; it is really a nice one. But in the end I decided it only deserved 4, because it could have been better. Still, if you like '50s pop, you ought to try this CD.

Never heard anything like this... ever!.......2005-07-06
The Color of Perfection....Red.......2003-09-29
The final act of Krzystof Kieslowski's beautiful trilogy is "Red". The music of this trilogy,composed by Zbigniew Preisner,is as much a part of these stories as the actors themselves.Preisner did much of the composing for Kieslowski's films, and he never fails to capture the essence of the story and the characters with his exquiste music. And in "Red", the ultimate story of a chance meeting that may change the lives of those involved, we find the best was saved for last.
In "Blue" and "White" most of the tracks were very short, with the music flowing from one scene to the next. In "Red" most of the tracks(16 in all) are a bit longer. Bookended by two astounding vocals,'Milsoc Od Pierwszego Wejrzenia' sung by Zbigniew Zamachowski, and 'L'amour Au Premier Regard', sung by Jean-Louis Murat,you'll be drawn in to the drama and emotion of
the entire story depicted so beautifully in every track in between.(See the buying info on the product page for a complete list of songs)
The orchestrations are a delight to listen to, the Bolero theme is heard throughout, the solos outstanding and on tracks 8 and 13,'Do Not Take Another Man's Wife I and II'( the Van Den Budenmayer music),Elzbieta Towarnicka will mesmerize you with her superb soprano voice.
The music is the epitome of perfection.It may be enjoyed, whether or not you have seen these films.If you haven't seen them, you will want to after listening to this and if you have you can relive all the wonderful moments with this CD. The CD is an excellent quality, put it on your stereo and feel the drama.
