Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
After two of the most riveting thrillers ever set on American soil, the serial-killer Hannibal Lecter faces FBI agent Clarice Starling in Florence. Composer Hans Zimmer, following the success of Gladiator, is swiftly reunited with director Ridley Scott, and takes a very different musical path from Howard Shore's austere score for The Silence of the Lambs. Paying regard to the Viennese setting and Lecter's cultural refinement, Zimmer's music features many classical allusions. There are nods towards Mozart, an off-key, subtly disturbing Blue Danube and darkly beautiful choral passages evoking sacred mass and the Dies Irae. Alongside some particularly lush and effective string writing, and echoes of Jerry Goldsmith's Viennese thriller music for The Boys From Brazil, fear-laden, digitally pulsating soundscapes are kept to a minimum. Anthony Hopkins delivers three of Lecter's monologues which, while effectively done, will become less welcome with repeated playings. Both The Assassin and Beyond Rangoon demonstrated Zimmer's talent for haunting melody within a thriller context, and for Hannibal he has surpassed himself. There is a Gothic, melancholy grandeur to much of this score, the Wagnerian rapture of "To Every Captive Soul" and the serene, elegiac finale making this a morbidly enchanting musical dream. --Gary S. Dalkin
Chronique amazon.fr
Après leur collaboration sur Gladiator, Ridley Scott et Hans Zimmer ont décidé de remettre le couvert avec la suite du Silence des agneaux. Traitée d'une manière très sobre, la musique d'Hannibal, composée par Hans Zimmer, semble planer dangereusement autour des futures victimes du cannibale. Très esthétique et raffinée, d'inspiration classique, la partition dévoile une succession d'atmosphères – "Avarice", "Virtue" –, puis dévore par à-coups ses auditeurs – "For A Small Stipend". L'habillage électronique habituel du compositeur est néanmoins présent et impose un rythme enivrant au film. La musique oscille alors entre délicatesse et angoisse avec une maestria certaine. Un extrait de l'opéra "Vido Cor Meum" de Patrick Cassidy, spécialement arrangé pour l'occasion par un Hans Zimmer que l'on a rarement connu aussi classieux, conclut cette bande originale. Avez-vous faim de très bonne musique ?Didier Leprêtre

Worth it for the end,,,,but,
By A Customer
This review is from: Hannibal Original Motion Pict (Audio CD)
This is worth it just for the last track (Vide Cor Meum). Beautiful warm tones that will take you through an emotional journey. Pay attention, however, and stop the song before the last few seconds, or you'll be in for an unneeded orchestra Hit that will shock you or blow out your speakers. Buy it for the last track but beware of the last few seconds...BANG!!

a benefit to the senses,

This review is from: Hannibal Original Motion Pict (Audio CD)
If you are "on the fence" debating on whether or not to order this one I cannot say enough, please do so. It's wonderful. Just amazing from start to finish. It's one of those where you begin listening and simply cannot turn it off until the entire cd has played. I cannot say there is a weak spot in this collection of work and to finish the cd with the song from the opera scene, just classic. It's worth every cent and then some.

Haunting!,

This review is from: Hannibal Original Motion Pict (Audio CD)
Never before has such a hauntingly beautiful score been composed. Hans Zimmer's music stands alone. Regardless of what you thought of the movie, 'Hannibal' the soundtrack is a must-have.
