Description:

Leave it to composer John Corigliano and violinist Joshua Bell--two of biggest names in classical music--to team up and create one of 1999's best soundtracks. For many, the soundtrack to The Red Violin was just as impressive as the film, a moving blend of gypsy, folk, and classical compositions. --Jason Verlinde

5The music tells THIS storyJan 27, 2010
This movie is ALL about the music, and the soundtrack is no disappointment! Excellent performances, rich compositions, and a literal sense of the story as it unfolds through the music. Even if you've never seen this movie, you will appreciate the beautiful quality of this soundtrack. It is an instrumental masterpiece, and proof that movie composers truly are the classical masters of this age.

4Before It Became an IndustryJul 17, 2009
This is not your typical soundtrack. First, it was written by a contemporary "classical" composer who is not usually associated with film music. Second, it contains not just music from the film, but also a "serious" concert orchestral piece written using some of the themes from the soundtrack music (this piece, which is titled "The Red Violin": Chaconne for Violin and Orchestra, is the 17-minute track that closes this CD in spectacular fashion.) Third, the film itself (which I have not seen) is itself based on a tale involving music, so the music that Corigliano wrote was conceived as integral to the film itself, not just something to supply the proper mood for certain scenes.

The music is quite able to stand on its own; even the "soundtrack" sections of the program are musically interesting, and the sounds that Corigliano's scoring are colorful but never merely splashy. Probably because this is a soundtrack , there are some bass effects that will put your woofers--or better yet, your subwoofer--to the test (but some really low, loud notes occur in the concert piece, not just the soundtrack sections themselves), so be forewarned. The music is colorful and enjoyable; for my money, this is the best thing that Corigliano has yet done.

4The true weeping violin.Dec 26, 2008
The violin in this is very lovely but also very sad and is profound. Those who play the violin or have a great care for music itself will enjoy. For those who do not they will not be so graced by the journey that the music brings. Although the music very sad in most part's it is very compelling. So to conclude buy it if you enjoy the movie or enjoy the classical music.

5The Red ViolinNov 09, 2007
To hear it is to love it. If you like the sound of the violin you will love Joshua Bell playing it.

5Love the soundtrack and the movie!Aug 04, 2007
I have five copies of this soundtrack for various places I spend most of my time at. It's beautiful and haunting. Number 16 makes my heart ache.
