Yes, the score is good. And yes, I'll buy it and can recommend it. But I had during the film often a kind Daja Vu feeling (or better "deja ecoutee"). The CD confirms that feeling, because room has served diligently for colleagues and classical. That the singing passages and getrageneren places I can somehow strongly oriented towards Vangelis yet well ascribe Ridley Scott's preference for V., probably the time did not have time to write the score itself. But Wagner's "Siegfried cremation" of the Ring des Nibelungen to take (Siegfried's Death) almost note for note is already bold. And the comparison with Holst progresses down not by chance, because even if the planet has room borrowed not only a stylistic device. But what the hell, this is a film that almost exactly retold's "Decline of the Roman Empire", without mentioning this source, then can be stolen even the music. At least both are stolen well. ;-) And: There is a wonderful CD of Lorin Maazel: The Ring without words. If you have like bombastic scenes, you will buy this CD and that is brilliant!
