Title: A Brilliant Underappreciated Masterpiece
Product review: A Brilliant Underappreciated MasterpieceWhile the music of Tess stands very well on its own, it isextraordinary how the music fits so perfectly in everydetail of the movie, one of the best ever and the best ofits kind, based on the moody and tragic literature of ThomasHardy.Soundtrack composers are probably not placed in the upperechelons of the snooty world of music academia where it'salways always Bach, Mozart, R. Strauss, Bartok et al, neverAlfred Newman, Max Steiner and, dare I say John Williams. Aworld of snobs who are afraid to admit they dig The Ramones?I exaggerate: My father was a music professor and liked TheBeatles.Movie soundtracks must be more precise than their "serious"symphonic counterparts, because there is literally nothingleft to the imagination. If the music don't fit it becomesimmediately obvious. Yet with this limitation of theirpalette, the great movie composers pull it off, as doesMr. Sarde.
