One of the best soundtracks I own, Jan 14 2005
By Missy Lee "Missy Lee" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: House of Flying Daggers (Audio CD)
As like Crouching Tiger and Hero, the impressive impact and emotion of the movie is be attributed a large deal to the score, but I think House of Flying Daggers offers the best one yet.Tan Dun's Crouching Tiger was beautiful, very traditional and emotional, with some epic sounds thrown in for the desert scenes. Hero tried to follow suit, but I think it sounded way too much like Crouching Tiger, and thus became extremely repetitive. House of Flying Daggers on the other hand offered something entirely new. It has a more contemporary sound than the other two, and is one of the least repetitive soundtracks I've heard.
The running theme of 'Lovers' is extremely moving, whether it be in the melancholy Er-hu solo in track 10, the operatic title song by Kathleen Battle (with a beautiful piano opening) or track 8, the soaring 'Lovers - Flower Garden', where the heart of the soundtrack lies (and which is also my favourite track!)
There are also other elements in the score, such as the middle-eastern sounding 'Battle in the Forest'(after a serene intro), the epic orchestra in 'No Way Out', and the rhythmic strings in 'Farewell'.
The HOFD soundtrack is so multifaceted it's hard to get tired of listening to it. A must for your record collection!

Great Music from a Great Film, Jun 3 2005
By Ty Treadwell, author of The Devil Did Grin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: House of Flying Daggers (Audio CD)
This soundtrack is a wonderful mix of classical oriental music and modern film score symphonics, a taste of the far east that's accessible to everyone. The Chinese flute and stringed instruments are blended with modern synthesizers and orchestra instruments to create a moody, elegant and very romantic soundtrack. Most of the pieces are very short, around two minutes long, but there are several longer pieces as well and all of the works seem to flow together so when listening to the entire album you feel a sense of continuity. I would recommend this album to anyone who loved the movie or to anyone who enjoys oriental or new age music.

a grand yet moving score, Dec 22 2004
By trastevere "trastevere" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: House of Flying Daggers (Audio CD)
while tan dun's scores for crouching tiger and hero have been highly praised, this work is both more effective and far more individual. full of memorable moments and powerful emotion, it is well worth checking out. watching the film, i found myself thinking it was the most powerful film score by an asian composer since takemitsu's score for ran (itself one of my all time favorite scores for any film.
