Product Description
From Amazon.com
The Hunt for Red October and Crimson Tide mark the swan songs of a long-standing genre: the cold-war-theme action thriller (and its subgenre, the nuclear-submarine-threat potboiler). Given the music here, composer Basil Poledouris must have sensed the end was nigh, for he pulls no punches. Poledouris (who seemingly wrote the score to Red Dawn as a warm-up exercise) has created a full-bodied orchestral swashbuckler with a male chorus (singing in Russian, of course) to boot; a modern take on the Erich Korngold/Errol Flynn film sensibility that ably demonstrates there's still life in those traditions. --Jerry McCulley

A most underrated score,
By John Lanning (Pensacola, FL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Hunt For Red October (Audio CD)
For people who know Basil Poledouris, most consider this his best score to date. Each track has it's own unique charcteristics and creative motifs which makes it such an enjoyable listen; even the last two tracks which are mostly synth, but still very effective. He perfectly captures the mood of each scene and the spirit of intrigue and adventure. He also weaves the Russian style into the score very well.I used to collect soundtracks and this was one of my favorites. I miss it every time I hear the main them or see the movie. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of five is because it is one of the shortest soundtracks you will ever hear. I believe it is only about 30 minutes long. However, I believe it is well worth the $10 or less you'll pay for it.

Great soundtrack but very short,

This review is from: The Hunt For Red October (Audio CD)
I love Basil Poledouris. He has written some terrific movie scores and this another one.The Hymn to Red October is the reason to buy this soundtrack. The russian chorus like somebody said earlier is awe inspiring. They sound absolutely terrific. You'd think they were the mormon tabernacle choir singing in Russian. It's fantastic. The rest of the soundtrack is ok. No other songs really jump to you and they are very short. Some of the songs are under minute long which is very disappointing. The music was so good in the movie. I was disappointed the song the russians sing on the sub was left off the soundtrack. I don't know the name of it, but I love the song. It sounded terrific in the movie and it would have been nice to hear it here. Like I said earlier Basil has written another fantastic movie score. His fans will definetly want to pick this one up. Fans of the movie might want to consider it to. Fans of movie scores should also pick it up, just be expected to be disapointed by the short length.
