"I got into Memphis." So begins Dr. King's "Excerpt from Speech the Day Before His Death" at the start of In Search of Freedom. His arresting, mellifluous voice, heard eerily removed, as if coming through a bullhorn, retains all the splendid vibrancy of timbre and his singular gift for oration. His message is urgent: the stalwart journey into civil rights, civil disobedience, and the path of nonviolence has taken him all the way to "the mountaintop." On this disc these spiritual ideals are perhaps best understood in the lengthy yet clearly flowing "Address to American Jewish Committee," wherein King provides the reasons and constitution of nonviolent protest and the fruits achieved from its labors. Decades after his precious life was taken, King's language dances, resonating the very sanctity of living along with his Atlanta congregation, who affirm and encourage with "yes, sirs" and "amens." --Paige La Grone

Sad so many reviewers missed the point!.......2006-01-13

My goodness, so much complaining! I originally found this collection on cassette for less than five bucks and would have paid much more for this treasure. Think of it as "the portable King", and be grateful that you can be fully enlightened even by fragments heard between getting gas and buying groceries! I'm afraid it's easy to get jaded in this ironically sound-byte driven era of MP3s &"more for less money" and miss the point -- this man of God offered more "meat" in 30 seconds than most people do now with 30 minutes of blather. Especially in a time when many don't know of King's name as more than cause for a day off of work or school, a gathering of these "nuggets" might just begin to get their attention, so they can then seek more. Don't feel ripped off because you didn't get the minimum number of minutes of his "melifluous tones" for your money, but rather marvel at how much heart he packed into every word and give glory to the God the man served!

Dissapointment.......2005-03-04

Even at $6.99 this CD is over priced. With the exception of "Address to the American Jewish Committee" and Dr. King's Entrance into Civil Rights Movement", all that is provided are very minimal sound bites. The "I have a Dream Speech" only includes the final culmination of his address. In order to appreciate Dr. King as an orator, his speeches must be heard from the absolute beginning to the end. What made the I have a Dream Speech so great was the way that Dr. King located his groove and began to flow into his spiritual roots. I was greatly disappointed by this collection.

Don't do it.......2004-03-19

Very little substance. You can't get "into" the speeches because the excerpts are more like sound bites. Look for a better deal.

Missing the learning factor but it's still KING! (3.5 stars).......2003-01-21

I was very excited to get this CD home but to my disappointment, some of the tracks were just the very famous MLK. Jr. quote or key on-liners taken out of context from speeches that we really need to know more about. We need to hear more of these speeches just to understand the significance and the strength of King's words and the content of which they came from.

However, although most of these speeches are abruptions, King's voice alone does wonders for the soul. At least the "I Have A Dream Speach" is given to us in it's entirity.

Not one of the better collections.......2001-06-06

This is not one of the better collections of Dr. King's speeches, as these are minor excerpts that are far too short. I would recommed "The Great March To Freedom" (1963 Detroit speech, full of barbed humor and excellent points), "The Great matrch on Washington" (entire Dream Speech), "Free At Last" (Mountaintop Speech) and best of all, the "A Call To Conscience" CDs that have all of the above and then some. Also, the breif but powerful Birmingham excerpt from "Sing For Freedom."

French filmmaker Jean Jacques Annaud's tale of Bengal tiger siblings who are separated as cubs, then reunited as adults under the bleakest and potentially deadly of circumstances revolves around a risky conceit: Nature/family film fable as pointed political allegory. And while composer Stephen Warbeck's Oscar-winning breakthrough score for Shakespeare in Love often seems to have typecast him in period films, the range and subtle mastery of conflicting idioms he displays here are a welcome reminder of the true breadth of his talents. Anchored by the idyllic pastoralism of his main title music, Warbeck weaves a rich sonic tapestry that echoes the travails of tigers Kumal and Sanha. To that end, his musical palate masterfully incorporates everything from opera ("Vergine Degli Angeli") and ominous 20th century modernism ("The Hunt") to haunting Asian motifs ("Aidan and Raoul," "Return to the River") and even a little Morricone-esque pop-folk effervescence (the banjo-dulcimer-whistle powered "To Freedom") before ending not with the expected dramatic thunder, but a warm, human-scaled dollop of ethnic-folk fusion. --Jerry McCulley

An Absolute Beautiful Masterpiece!.......2005-06-23

This CD is a wonderful addition to my collection. This is music that if you played over and over, you could simply not get tired of listening to it. It captures your heart and makes you see deep into and beyond these beautiful Tiger's eyes. Trust me this CD will not dissapoint and is well worth your money. Simply Beautiful music.

One complaint, Track #5.Vergine Degli Angeli out of place on this CD and i beleive the movie as well. I wished they would have included the menu theme to "Two Brothers" as it was a very catchy piece.

Overall though a 5 Rating for this CD!

Buy it!

Classic and idyllic... a masterpiece.......2005-06-23

The novalty here is that Stephen Warbeck, better know with his Award winner Shakespeare in Love score, promotes a fusion bewtween his pastoral and fully orchestral music with eastern sounds... that sounds fine and the listener never get tired of main themes or changing moods. Highly recommended if you like orchestral scores... listen to the first track... it's moving! Again Mr. Warbeck reaches his finest.

The Tigers are so cute!.......2004-07-26

Ok, the tigers are cute, the story is so COOL! The soundtrack is only music, but, in my opinon, it's really great music! You should hear it...or buy it, SOON!
