JNH at his best!

With "Schindler`s List" John Williams created a milestone in the history of film music. The "Defiance" credit score provides a (very carefully indicated) modern development. Stand at Williams score more suffering in the foreground (a friend once said, the score was so sad and falls a downright in depression!), JNH, with its tracks and its orchestration broader Pallete of feelings, there's love, faithfulness , anger, hatred, sorrow, longing.
After Hilary HahnŽs soulful violin part in "The Village" is here now Joshua Bell and brings with his violin the male side of the instrument into the music (the film also treats finally the history of the Bielski Brothers).
But it is never too corny, besides quieter pieces, it can also sometimes become a little harder, but JNH succeed forth the bowl balancing act between desire and reality, he emphasizes with his music, the storytelling of director and he raises his unspoken words and the gestures of the performers ,
The score is so unlike typical James Newton Howard - simply at his best!
Good Work!
