CD ReviewsOne of cinema's milestone scores...... Music Lover | United Kingdom | 06/07/2004 (4 out of 5 stars) "Anybody who owns the Ryko version of this OST will gain nothing from acquiring this re-issue of Michel Legrand's fabulous score to one of Steve McQueen's coolest movies. If you don't own the Ryko version, you'll still be rewarded by getting this worthwhile re-issue. If the movie was a triumph of style over substance, that can hardly be said of this truly original and breathtaking score. Opening with the Oscar nominated 'Windmills of Your Mind' from a young Noel Harrison , the score takes us on a journey that swings from moody romantic tension to full blown caper, as Steve McQueen slips his way through the traps set by elegant and sexy Faye Dunaway. Michel Legrand's remarkable work embraces his jazz upbringing, providing the perfect catalyst for this ultra cool blend of couture crime and doomed attraction shared by the leading characters. Legrand's own vocal interpretation of the beautiful 'His Eyes, Her Eyes' has to be about as good as it gets. The other jazz cues fare just as well away from the split screen frames that characterised Norman Jewison's memorable film. 'The Thomas Crown Affair'is one of the sublime M.Legrand's musical milestones, in partnership with the most stylish of 1960's American filmmaking." Euro Greatness William R. Nicholas | Mahwah, NJ USA | 02/23/2009 (5 out of 5 stars) "Ok, first, this is the 1968 Thomas Crown Soundtrack, not the modern remake. That out of the way, this is a wonderful EuroJazz score by Michel Legrand. Everyone knows Windmills Of Your Mind, but the rest of the soundtrack is even better. Legrand mixes jazz and compositional elements to create a sophisticated crime jazz that really sticks in your hears. It swings, with sharp horn punctation and improvised vocals. Vibraphones chime mysteriously all over, as you picture black attache cases being passed from one fadoraed rouge to another on the streets of Paris. Like so few soundtracks today, this really holds up well as music, full of nuance and detailed in atmosphere. Hearing it almost tells you a story as well as the film itself." Good music J. CALDERON | MEXICO CITY | 09/09/2008 (5 out of 5 stars) "The music is good but not at all, only the main song performed for the film, the famous "The windmills of your mind". The voice of the singer is so good.
The rest of the music is not so good but is OK as a souvenir of the film." |
