A good value.......2007-05-17

I wasn't expecting to have 4 discs for this price, and the music is a quality selection of film music, giving a good scope of the genre, and a very listenable transfer.

The Sound Track Since Bernard Hermann.......2006-07-25

This collection is bound to capture your heart and evoke a tin ear on successive tracks. I found much to like and some duds - easy to skip over.
Very good value.

A mixed collection of movie music.......2006-02-23

For the price, this CD is a great bargain. The musical selections, as you might expect, are mixed in quality ranging from extraordinary to so so, the balance being worthwhile and interesting. Sonically the CD is excellent.

Composer/former Buggles keyboardist Hans Zimmer helped pioneer the fusion of traditional orchestral music with synthesized sounds that both seamlessly mock and supplement the traditionally acoustic. What listeners sometimes mistake for a symphony orchestra in full voice is often but shrewdly manipulated digital samples. Thus, this concert performance (recorded at the 2000 Flanders Film Festival) adds a welcome, truly organic dimension to the best of Zimmer's canon. The composer is featured as a performer (with Dirk Brosse conducting the fine efforts of the VRO Flemish Radio Orchestra), as are many of his frequent collaborators; Lisa Gerrard adds her distinctive vocals to the included Gladiator excerpts, while guitarists Pete Haycock and Heitor Pereira add their familiar flourishes to cues from Thelma and Louise and Mission: Impossible 2, respectively. Reworked music from The Lion King and The Power of One supplement the already familiar, but it's Zimmer's haunting, emotionally compelling "Journey to the Line" (from The Thin Red Line score) that is the collection's unlikely high point. --Jerry McCulley

Wing of a Film.......2005-02-14

This is one of my favorite CD's. My car was broken into and my CD holder taken from the visor. This CD is the first one I replaced. If you like movie music, this is the CD for you. From the drama and power of "Gladiator" to the African plain of "The Lion King", Hans Zimmer's music moves the heart. The added bonus of vocals from Lisa Gerrard (his collaborator on the "Gladiator" score) only make this more special.

unique live zimmer compilation.......2004-10-01

This compilation is an excellent primer for anyone wishing to sample some of Zimmer's signature compositions. If anything, it has more of a 'Zimmer and friends jam session' vibe than a true classical concert, but it still works rather well on CD.

The live versions of more 'serious' pieces such as "Am I Not Merciful" and "Journey To The Line" unfortunately don't quite live up to the soul-stirring intensity and clarity of the album versions, however they are still worth listening to if you are a Zimmer enthusiast.

It's the more lively pieces, like "Driving", "Thunderbird" and the hard-to-find "Rain Man Main Theme" which are the standout tracks, and full credit must go to the talented Pete Haycock and Heitor Pereira for their blistering live performances on guitar, which are full of energy and passion.

Indeed, perhaps the most unexpected treat on the CD is the version of MI:2's "Nyah and Ethan", which is a truly stunning arrangement of this spanish-influenced piece. The presence of extra stringed instruments which rise and swell with the melody gives this piece a much fuller, richer and epic feel.

Lebo M performs nicely on 'Lea Halalela', less memorably on 'Busa'; Lisa Gerrard gives an slower, carefully articulated vocal performance on 'Now We Are Free'; and the hard-to-find 'True Romance' theme rounds out the album.

All in all, a neat little album that's worth getting for Zimmer novices and fans alike.

Zimmer Zimmer.......2004-07-02

Im george zimmer, no relation. this cd is good quality service, and a good price. if i had a warehouse, i'd fill it with his music. he should be president.

Not All You Could Hope For.......2004-02-29

If you're looking for a collection of Zimmer's work all in one place this is it. But that's all. These are not the best versions of his work you'll find and if you've grown to love some of his music from movie soundtrack CDs, you'll be disappointed. This is LIVE meaning each piece has several seconds of applause at the end. The arrangements are for orchestra so some of the studio techniques which give the music a kick are missing.

For some people, once they're used to one version of a song, variations will never do. If that's you don't waste time on this CD. I'm not such a person yet these live recordings left me cold.

The music for Rainman is a good case in point. I like that the arrangement, unlike the soundtrack CD, is a full 3 minutes of the piece (the soundtrack was split into two shorter pieces) but the music simply doesn't transport me the way the original did. There's less emotion.

If you're into Hans then this is still a must have but is not as satisfying as, say, a compilation of the original works.

MOVING.......2002-12-28

This CD doesn't grab you right away. But after a few times it's hard not listen to it. Very moving CD.

Music that stays with you........2005-02-18

With DRIVING MISS DAISY, film score composer Hans Zimmer proves once again that he can tackle any genre (others include THE LION KING, THE ROCK, and CRIMSON TIDE just to name a few) with the same level of creativity and uniqueness. This one is no exception.

The soundtrack to this movie, like the movie itself, is very, very short. But the orchestrated score seems to overflow with the same rich drama and reflective story-telling that was done so well in the movie. For awhile, the main theme was even adopted by Chevrolet for use in their television commercials.

This soundtrack release is further complimented with (also featured in the movie) Louis Armstrong's "Kiss of Fire," Eartha Kitt's "Santa Baby," and the enchanting "Song of the Moon." My only complaint is that I wish they had included the rendition of "What a Friend We Have in Jesus" which was sung so beautifully by the Gospel choir during Idella's funeral.

You don't have to be a fan of the movie to love this music. I loved the movie but the music was a masterpiece. I wish they had combined songs 3 through 6 and just made the individual songs longer, instead they were kinda choppy, but they were taking it straight from the movie I guess. However, I wasn't dissapointed too much because I'll take em anyway I can get em. They really are beautiful and the last song, "The song to the Moon" is the best Oprah song I've ever heard.

A beautiful soundtrack!.......2001-02-21

This is a wonderful movie soundtrack from one of the best films ever made: Driving Miss Daisy. Hans Zimmer has composed a beautiful and memorable score that fits right in with the film. It's good music to listen to if you'd like to relax or just daydream. The instrumentation is wonderful and the sound is superb. This album also features songs from Eartha Kitt, Louis Armstrong and an excerpt from the opera Rusalka. This is a highly recommended soundtrack! Go out and purchase your copy today! It would make a fine addition to any music collection.

fantastic performence by Hans Zimmer.......1999-09-13

The style of the music fits the movie perfectly. Hans Zimmer has a special way of performing that no one else has. I love it.

pretty good.......1999-02-20

This is a great album. Hans Zimmer delivers a very dramatic score. It ties in perfectly with the movie. Two thumbs up!
