Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
After two of the most riveting thrillers ever set on American soil, the serial-killer Hannibal Lecter faces FBI agent Clarice Starling in Florence. Composer Hans Zimmer, following the success of Gladiator, is swiftly reunited with director Ridley Scott, and takes a very different musical path from Howard Shore's austere score for The Silence of the Lambs. Paying regard to the Viennese setting and Lecter's cultural refinement, Zimmer's music features many classical allusions. There are nods towards Mozart, an off-key, subtly disturbing Blue Danube and darkly beautiful choral passages evoking sacred mass and the Dies Irae. Alongside some particularly lush and effective string writing, and echoes of Jerry Goldsmith's Viennese thriller music for The Boys From Brazil, fear-laden, digitally pulsating soundscapes are kept to a minimum. Anthony Hopkins delivers three of Lecter's monologues which, while effectively done, will become less welcome with repeated playings. Both The Assassin and Beyond Rangoon demonstrated Zimmer's talent for haunting melody within a thriller context, and for Hannibal he has surpassed himself. There is a Gothic, melancholy grandeur to much of this score, the Wagnerian rapture of "To Every Captive Soul" and the serene, elegiac finale making this a morbidly enchanting musical dream. --Gary S. Dalkin

- Music that makes your emotions soar...
There are few occasions these days where music will take your emotions to the depths of despair and up to the highest cloud and back before the album is finished. Mostly this happens in film soundtracks and Hannibal is easily one of the finest. There is humour, sadness, heart-pounding atmosphere and some pieces that will make your heart sing and sent your soul alight as the finest music does, and should.
The highlight of the album is Vide cor Meum by Patrick Cassidy - the album is worth buying for this alone. When I first watched the film I became determined to discover which great opera that piece was from, not realising that it was written specially for the film. Rarely will you find a piece of music that makes you want to simply sit ... Read More:

- the BEST soundtrack I come across
Needless to say how much I was impressed with this soundtrack. It captured beautifully the setting and mood for the film, as well as that "lecter feel!" I listen to it almost every day.

"Anthony Hopkins delivers three of Lecter's monologues which, while effectively done, will become less welcome with repeated playings" What do you MEAN? sometimes I just listen to tracks to hear his voice! lol! It can never tire you out!

- Great music to sleep too.
There are movie soundtracks.... and then there are movie soundtracks. This one most definitely fits into the latter.

Hans Zimmer has created yet another masterpiece, adding to his already growing collection of perfect music scores. He uses previous melodies and adds them in a rich mix with new styles, for example his "Aria De Capo" [ from "Goldberg's Variations"] intertwined with the haunting "Gourmet Valse Tartare" contribute to make a perfect soundtrack for a perfect movie.

And if it were possible, a finer touch of class is added when we have Sir Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal playing lead role as part of many of the tracks. Hannibal features in "Dear Clarice", as he reads his letter to Starling, framed beautifully by a chilling ... Read More:

- This is very, very good music!
I really enjoy this album. And yes, it is an album and not just the score to a movie. It stands perfectly alone (and really, it does surpass the movie). It perfectly summarise the world of Hannibal, especially with Hopkins narration.

- Goody Goody
After reading the book then watching the film, I eagerly followed the course of the soundtrack's release. For once, I think the critics are correct. A truely magical example of moody classical music. I take off my hat to Hans Zimmer.
