Title: Excellent soundtrack to a gorgeous film
Review: This soundtrack is soothing and quite beautiful. Some of the cello writing is hauntingly beautiful. Coulais' imaginative, but discreet, use of the orchestra is masterful and fits the tone of the film perfectly. The vocal contributions by Nick Cave and Robert Wyatt are great. Only the chanting of adult men bothered me. The music that accompanies the return of the cranes has a few notes played by a woodwind instrument that always remind me of some notes played by either a woodwind or brass instrument during the "Et songe bien, oui, songe en combattant/Qu'un oeil noir te regarde," passage of the Toreador Song from Bizet's opera "Carmen".
