◎レビュー (Amazon)
In a bold move for a film set in 16th-century England, director Shekhar Kapur called on two very distinct composers for the music: Craig Armstrong (a Scot who’s arranged tracks for everybody from Massive Attack to Madonna, while earning kudos for his Ray and World Trade Center scores) and A.R. Rahman (one of the undisputed musical titans of Bollywood, with roots in Sufi music). Even more intriguing, the two men collaborated closely, and there are no individual credits to distinguish who did what. Despite the occasional Indian cues in tracks such as "Divinity Theme," the overall result seems to lean more towards Armstrong’s style, especially his most elegiac work like World Trade Center. In the end, the score falls squarely within the current accepted parameters for big-spectacle music, from inspiring strings, to a lone flute plaintively whispering its theme, to the use of a choir and soprano voices. It’s a competent CD, but the promising team-up had led us to expect more than mere competence. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
