レビュー (Amazon)
This sumptuous adaptation of Henry James's enormous novel, is full of psychological dramas. With a firm idea how music would chronicle Isabel's destiny, director Jane Campion called upon Wojciech Kilar for that which his music achieves so well. In his own words: "I think the best film music repeats its basic themes--each time with small variations." His writing style of taking a motif and spinning us around and around with it is perfectly suited to the idea of a turn-of-the-century woman walking circles within an enclosed world. There's at least three primary themes represented on the album. The title cue is perhaps the most outstanding: strings swirl upwards to a peak, before swiftly moving down to the start of the piece to begin again with an additional layer. If you know his score to Bram Stoker's Dracula this description will be familiar. The method is also applied to the reed ensemble that work the theme introduced in "Flowers Of Firenze", and for the aptly named "Twilight Cellos". With a delightful Schubert interlude midway, this is symphonic film music at its most soulful. --Paul Tonks
