レビュー (Amazon)
Pop-folk duo Simon and Garfunkel were two years away from making one of the best-selling albums ever, 1970's Bridge Over Troubled Water, when they contributed to the songs to The Graduate, and so kick-started the rise of the song-based soundtrack and soundtrack album. Previously, there had been musicals, title songs and then more contemporary pop musicals (such as The Beatles's Help) but The Graduate used Paul Simon's songs to comment on the action of a contemporary dramatic comedy. "The Sound Of Silence" and "Mrs Robinson" remain two of the best pop songs ever written, while "Scarborough Fair Canticle" has a madrigal-like beauty. The album also features the instrumental score by Dave Grusin. His witty, strongly crafted music is largely inspired by such 20's and 30's dances as the foxtrot and cha-cha, used in the film to comment ironically on the generation-gap theme. Although Grusin has since had great success with his jazz piano based score for The Firm, and Paul Simon later scored his own film, One Trick Pony, The Graduate remains Simon, Garfunkel and Grusin's classic contribution to cinema history, and the album one of the most important soundtracks ever issued. --Gary S.
