Although room is charged repeatedly he had no classical training, I find his soundtrack to Gladiator fantastic and self-contained. I "benütze" this CD is not to pass by my favorite film revue, rather entice me the varied and in my opinion, brilliant in its simplicity titles to claim my "head cinema". A CD long lie in the sun and daydreaming! Never before had I heard film music alone for themselves. After the soundtrack of Gladiator I was so excited that I was looking for the same state of relaxation with other film music composers. In vain (despite well-known names). Nothing was a total pleasure, not a soundtrack as a whole. During the soundtracks to repeat certain melodies, but with different emphasis and support. This creates repeatedly "musical cross-references" to other locations in the soundtrack and brings the whole thing a "red thread". If this soundtrack have actually got no Oscar, you know, at least since this ceremony what one has to keep in general from "Oscar".
So wrote a hard rock fan who listens rarely (or no) classically-inspired music !!!
