A great soundtrack and a greater score

"Ignore the complaints that the Monty Norman theme isn't played bold and brassy throughout the score; the subtle use of notes of the theme woven through the score until the final unveiling at the end make the journey that much more interesting and musical. Great pulsating action music and lovely melodies, especially in the case of the achingly touching Vesper theme, all expertly orchestrated and performed. This is the type of score ignored by the Academy snobs in lieu of obscure esoteric wallpaper sounds (will Thomas Newman ever get the Oscar he deserves?)and is not only a wonderful reminder of a terrific film but also a great musical score that stands on its own."
Pure Amazement
