Title: A Most Haunting Score and Soudtrack
Review: Hans Zimmer deserves great applause for his brilliant score for "Hannibal," and the soundtrack album, produced by Ridley Scott, is a hauntingly beautiful representation of that score and the film itself. There is a seductive beauty to this film that is created in great part by the music, and that sense is well preserved on this recording. "Let My House be My Gallows" is a small masterpiece evoking poetic images of perhaps the film's most exquisite scene. Normally, the use of voice-overs in a soundtrack album detracts from the score. But here is an example of just how to integrate music and dialogue. Indeed, the inclusion of the vocal elements make this recording a small treasure. Hans Zimmer continues to grow as a composer, and this effort is worthy of significant praise, bravo, or "goody, goody," if you prefer. Be sure to stay till the very end of the last cut.
