Thematically, director Robert Altman's career sometimes seems an endless series of left turns into the unexpected; the one constant has been a rich and rewarding attention to the intricacies of character development and interaction. Composer Patrick Doyle underscores Gosford Park's Merchant-Ivory/Agatha Christie/Altman-wit fusion and '30s British upper-class setting with a score that's period spot-on, character-rich, and often sadly evocative. Doyle's restraint is masterful, often leaning on piano, accordion, and small string arrangements that emphasize the characters' intimacies and the film's drawing room settings. Key to the story are a handful of prewar songs by Ivor Novello (who's also a character in the film), ranging from the sprightly humor of "And Her Mother Came Too" and "What a Duke Should Be" to the romantic schmaltz of "I Can Give You the Starlight" and "Why Isn't It You?" The latter is performed here at the piano (and, remarkably, live before the cameras) by Jeremy Northam. Leavened by a small jazz ensemble and a few darkly ominous cues, Doyle's score is an understated gem. --Jerry McCulley

4 out of 5 stars Gosford Park Sound Track.......2007-03-30

The original music is creative and very listenable. It is typical of popular music of the 1930s. This CD is highly recommended to those people who enjoy music from the 1920s and 1930s.

5 out of 5 stars Better than the movie.......2004-12-08

Many people, I believe, buy a soundtrack because they are mesmerized by the movie and want to extend the experience by listening to something that reminds them of it. But "Gosford Park" is hardly that kind of movie. It is brilliant and atmospheric as it analyzes the British class system, but that's hardly the kind of thing that wins the heart. The soundtrack of this movie was my favorite CD from last year, and the reasons I liked it had nothing to do with the movie.

Why is this music so compelling and winning?

First, it is fun to discover the marvellous talent of Ivor Norvello. His music is half of the charm of the soundtrack. Some songs are funny ("Her mother came too"), some beautiful ("I can give you the starlight") and some poignant ("The land of might have been"). I had not encountered Norvello before this film. Jeremy Northam's perfect delivery of Norvello's songs would not leave me after I'd seen the film. Days later, I found the songs had taken up residence in the back of my head, insisting that I go back to the soundtrack to make them a permanent part of my musical life.

Second, there is the charm of the orchestral music composed by Patrick Doyle. Sometimes people wonder "why aren't they writing beautiful classical music any more?" Well, they are. It goes into soundtracks, however, rather than being commissioned by orchestras. The test for the quality of Doyle's compositions is that you don't need to refer to the film to appreciate this music. It simply charms and intrigues us with its own merits.

My third reason for loving this CD is too personal to mention here.

I give this CD my highest personal recommendation.

4 out of 5 stars I don't mind the repeating themes, but the CD is too short!.......2004-06-08

Unlike many reviewers here, I didn't buy the CD to hear the Ivor Novello songs or Jeremy Northam's voice. I actually liked the instrumental tracks, and never actually thought I'd like to listen to something played on an accordion.

However, Mr. Doyle's music portrays the lethargy of the snobby Upstairs very well to the contrast of the relative energy of Novello's songs, which the Downstairs servants enjoy, but the Upstairs people can't stand.

My dislikes about the CD include the female singer who can't really sing and the length of the CD. Some of these cues are only about a minute long. WHY pay so much money for such a short CD??? Why not add more music??

Overall though, if you liked either Doyle's music or Novello's songs (hopefully the listener will like both), it's a CD worth getting.

4 out of 5 stars Excellent Mix.......2003-04-23

I fell in love with this soundtrack when I watched Gosford Park in the cinemas.

Sometimes period music, sometimes mystery music, sometime personal music. Jeremy Northam's songs are simply delicious and I love hearing them.

I liken the style (not type) of mix to You've Got Mail.

Heaps of fun and lovely to listen to.

5 out of 5 stars One the best soundtracks out there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2003-03-06

When I saw the movie at the theater I kept thinking I've got to have the soundtrack to this movie because it is so beautiful. I also really enjoyed the sung songs 6.And Her Mother Came Too, 10.I Can Give You The Starlight, 11.What A Duke Should Be, 16. Only For A While, 20. The Way It's Meant To Be, 24. The Land That Might-Have-Been!! I think that Patrick Doyle did a wonderful job of scoring this movie the just fits right in with it all, I only wish there was more to listen to!! I highly recommend this album to everyone who liked the movie and people who love great soundtracks, you will not be sorry if you buy this!!!!

5 out of 5 stars Yes Another Karunesh Masterpiece!.......2006-11-12

I love Karunesh music. I've taken the cds to massage therapy, I listen to them in my car, and I listen to them in the evening as I am going through my mail, eating my dinner, or working around the house. My dog and cat approve of my music selection as well.

5 out of 5 stars Mystical Musical Landscapes on a Sacred Journey.......2004-04-17

The first track on this CD begins with an unexpected male vocal beseechment, a call to worship, by Mohammad Eghabal, accompanied by appropriate seriously sedate music played on one instrument. "Inshallah" has a highly evocative and unusual beginning which captures one's attention as the individual notes on the sitar (possibly guitar) are strummed to set the mood and carry the listener to a sacred space within. The first track creates the mystical journey that never ends, even when the CD stops. My next favorite is "Morning Glory". The introduction begins with chimes or bells, that are followed by the flute, and soft strains on the guitar ... it sounds very much like reflective, melodic Chinese music. The piece transitions into harmonious and meandering guitar melodies played by Govi, accompanied on keyboards, with other sounds that enhance the flow, fluidity and texture of soft, silky music. Track # 5, "Down Under" has more depth and direction to the music, it takes you into a lyrical, smoothly played, magical rhythm which is enhanced by the tabla, that sounds highly cultural and natural. "A Journey to India", track #6, continues taking the listener to exotic musical landscapes with sitar strains and tabla accompaniment, there is an exciting, infectious beat that is highly appealing. "Secrets of Life", track #7, continues the venue of serenity developed by the previous tracks, the music is fluid, mystical, and magical in its expression. The last track, #8, "Dusk" ... invokes again the sacred call to worship by Mohammad Eghbal, the same or similar vocals as in the first "Inshallah" but this time, one senses the closing of the day, as the instruments blend the music into creating a nostalgic and ethereal feeling as if watching a sunset. This CD radiates spirituality with the sacred, magical, and mystical sounds of each and every track. My highest recommendation.

      Rich, expansive, and haunting, Secrets of Life is a closely woven tapestry of ethnic instruments, voices, and multi-cultural influences that balance and enlighten each other in unexpected and captivating ways. Persian harmonies predominate this recording, which celebrates the symbiotic relationship between the soul's heart and the rhythm of the earth, expressed as energy moving through the body. This CD has a very exotic sound transporting the listener to some far away tropical island of paradise.
