◎レビュー (Amazon)
Steven Spielberg's ambitious 20-hour miniseries chronicles the (mythical?) 50-year interaction of extraterrestrials with America's citizens, military and government. Given its subject matter and executive producer, some John Williams musical parallels aren't unexpected, and indeed the brassy ebullience of composer Laura Karpan's main theme recalls some of the unabashed romanticism of earlier Williams/Spielberg collaborations. But as writer/producer Leslie Bohem notes, there's a metaphorical quality to the project as well, and that's where Karpan's ever-bright orchestral score comes forcefully into its own. Seamlessly intertwining heartland Americana with evocative alien strains is no easy trick; doing it without slavishly recalling genre touchstones like CE3K and ET tougher still. But that's what Karpman has done here, weaving a disparate tapestry of hopes and fears, wonder and dread, all of it rooted firmly in Hollywood scoring traditions -- and a crucial understanding of the European and Russian concert music from when they came. The result is unashamedly epic in its overall scope, yet sensitive enough to be distinctly melancholy, wistful and downright magic in its constituent pieces. Traditions die hard, and this sprawling, adventurous sci-fi score is ample testimony why. --Jerry McCulley
