Product Description
Amazon.ca
A 1996 Academy Award nominee for Best Dramatic Score, Braveheart is one of composer James (Titanic) Horner's most accomplished works. Utilizing the full range of the London Symphony Orchestra, the Choristers of Westminster Abbey, and a small ensemble of traditional folk instrumentalists, Horner largely eschews the bombast typical of the genre and cuts a more emotionally complex--and satisfying--musical course through this 14th-century tale of betrayal and rebellion. This album presents ample evidence of why Horner is currently at the peak of his profession. --Jerry McCulley

My hat's off to James Horner. His soundtrack for this incredible movie does both the world of movie soundtracks and Scottish folk music great justice. I watched the movie last night and now have the soundtrack playing on iTunes at work.
I am a very huge fan of Horner's work thanks to Titanic and Apollo 13. Add Braveheart to the list.

So many great scores have come before this, providing films with the perfect accompaniment. But some are both perfect for the movie, as well as independently as music. This score, beautifully composed by the brilliant James Horner, enchants and relaxes us. The flow of the music is so smooth that one you have listened to the whole score, it seems too flawless to be real. I love this movie, and the score is too sensual to ignore. It is the very root of what makes this a great world in which to live.

That's a beautiful soundtrack!
It's really moving and reminds you of the love and dramatic stuff of the movie.
It can stand perfectly alone, without the film behind it, because it's musically inspired and based on a lot of themes. Some of them change slightly song by song. Don't think of that as a repetitiveness factor. Not at all! The score isn't absolutely repeticious! In fact the tunes are very beautiful and arranged in different ways, sometimes with flutes, other times with bow-instrument and also with bagpipes in the scottish way.
In my opinion there's just one negative aspect. Sometimes music-battle tracks (one or two) are a little bit heavy and musically without any sense. On the other hand I'm calmly sure it's a really little litle price to pay for listening to the other magnificent tracks.
James Horner genius, wich will inspire TITANIC and A BEAUTIFUL MIND, emerges cristally in this excellent score that I definetly suggest everyone to buy!

For "the Irish," this music stirs passions like no other.
In short, Braveheart is a story of a Scotsman who rallied his compratriots to fight for freedom from the English, but it is so much more than that. Read more
