Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
Based on the inherently musical novel by Louis de Bernières, Stephen Warbeck's score for the film version of Captain Corelli's Mandolin is filled with Mediterranean colours and built around his yearningly beautiful "Pelagia's Song". Warbeck, who won an Oscar for Shakespeare in Love, his previous collaboration with director John Madden, wrote parts of the score before shooting began, then recorded other pieces so the film could be edited to the music. Such an approach inevitably results in an unusually close marriage of music and drama, so that even those who haven't seen the film will relive memories of the book. At the centre of the score is, of course, the mandolin, with several heartfelt pieces performed by Giovanni Parricelli. A haunting Italianate romanticism runs through many selections so that Warbeck's music will appeal to admirers of Nino Rota's The Godfather, or more generally the operatic lyricism of Ennio Morricone. Also featured are three source cues, as well as tenor Russell The Voice Watson's performance of two songs, including a rapturous version of the main theme. Delivering a score which is subtle yet intensely dramatic, Warbeck proves as he did with Quills that he is one of our finest film composers. --Gary S Dalkin

Beautiful Music,
By
This review is from: Captain Corellis Mandolin Ori (Audio CD)
I grew up with Greek and Italian music and that is one of the reasons I bought this CD in addition to absolutely loving the movie. The music is original and traditional. "The Mandolin" is perfection. If you want to take a romantic journey through another time and place this music will give you that chance.

Brings back memories,
By "aglass1919" (Indianapolis, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Captain Corellis Mandolin Ori (Audio CD)
Awsome music; lyrics, as well as instrumentals. Takes you away to a land of beauty. If you also grew up with Italian music in your home, you may especially enjoy this version of standard favorites such as Santa Lucia and La Donna E Mobile. I consider this movie as the Italian Americans' "Pearl Harbor". Lots of heroism in the movie and the music elaborates on that with spendor.

An album to touch your heart,
By A Customer
This review is from: Captain Corellis Mandolin Ori (Audio CD)
Although the war scenes in the film are quite successful, the film is mostly a love story and 'music' is in the very heart of it. The main theme 'Pelagia's Song' is a very sentimental melody and the album contains different versions of it. The two romantic songs 'Senza di te' and 'Ricordo Ancor' performed by Russel Watson are simply wonderful. The songs are recorded in the order of events that take place in the film, so careful and imaginative listeners can re-live the film as they listen to the CD. Some songs really make one wish to be able to play the mandolin or to be somewhere on the Mediterranean, listening to such melodies. It is the right choice for those who need some peace of mind. A wonderful album for a wonderful romance...listen to it and dream of love...
