5.0 out of 5 stars Epic Music from the Golden Barge and the Asp, Feb 26 2004
By 
James Eret (Yucca Valley, California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cleopatra (Audio CD)
Cleopatra, Alex North monumental film score, is nothing short of stupendous, music that more than matches the story it portrays. Alex North did the great Spartacus score, which I think is his best, but Cleopatra is a very close second. With this two CD collection we finally can hear the entire score and it resounds with blazing Roman fanfares, and a mysterious, sensual quality to the Egyptian sights and sounds. I had this score on LP but knew that the entire score was great. I finally bought the two CD set and what a amazing piece of film composing. Alex North has outdone himself and we can really appreciate what an excellent composer of epics he was, in the tradition of Miklos Rozsa and Bernard Herrmann. There is a savage beauty to this score that you don't hear in too many modern scores. It stands by itself as a massive symphony to the ancient, pagan world. Listening to Cleopatra brings back vivid images of a great queen riding the golden barge to meet Marc Antony and the amazing parade into Rome to meet Ceasar on an enormous float. The love themes are also beautiful and memorable. The battle themes evoke chaos, great violence, sadness and passion. Alex North really wrote passionate music, with Cleopatra near the top of the list of the greatest film scores ever written. Highly recommended. Also get Spartacus, Agony and Ecstasy, and Drangonslayer as Alex North's better epic film scores, a real modern master of cinematic film music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Stupendous and Moving!, Oct 16 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Cleopatra (Audio CD)
I absoultely love this soundtrack and movie! The music means more to me than ever because, me being in my high school award-winning marching band, we played selections from this movie! And I get teary-eyed when I think of the music and begin to dread the thought of marching season being over in less than a week. The music is fun, moving, wonderful, great, and something you'll always remember... I will, anyways.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully done!, Dec 23 2001
By 
"mrow" (Orange County, Calif.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cleopatra (Audio CD)
This is a fun album - you'll get a real feel for how it all came about with the bonus material included in this re-release, and also a sense of how it might have felt to be present on opening night. North's score fits the film very well.
