On the surface, this soundtrack seems to resemble the Tiger, Hidden Dragon. But a closer look, especially with the fantastic images in the foreground of Zhang Yimou's brilliant film, it is an independent work that could not have be better. The choirs, Kodo's drums and Itzhak Perlman's violin solos provide a wonderfully dreamy atmosphere. In the end, I find even that this soundtrack, as well as the film as a whole, the surmounted by Tiger & Dragon a lot. And if you are worried the hell this soundtrack when he could not stand the already of Tiger & Dragon?
