Editorial Reviews For this Nancy Meyers-directed romantic comedy, Hans Zimmer serves up a breezy score quite different from the more heavy-duty works he's become known for. This may have something to do with the film's tone, of course, but also with the fact that Zimmer has sole credit on only two cues, having co-written the others with members of his extensive stable of helpers, including guitarist Heitor Pereira and even pop artist Imogen Heap (who also contributes wordless vocals in addition to getting writing credits on three tracks). In the film, Jack Black's character is a composer who namedrops Ennio Morricone; Zimmer steps up to the challenge with the opening track, "Maestro" (one of his solo compositions), which evidently seeks to emulate the romantic sweep of some of Morricone's scores and nearly succeeds. (This may sound like a criticism but getting near Morricone level is nothing to sneeze at.) A little later "Verso e Prosa," a collaboration between Pereira and Herb Alpert--who contributes his immediately identifiable trumpet--also stands out. If the rest of the CD had shown as much spirited zest as these two tracks, the album could have become a prized addition to any soundtrack lover's library; alas, the other cues are too devoid of personality to make a lasting impression. --Elisabeth Vincentelli
Spotlight Customer Reviews Customer Rating: Summary: The Holiday Comment: This was a great product! Not the type of soundtrack I expected but very well enjoyable! It is a beautiful orchestra type soundtrack that is VERY relaxing.. I think that The Holiday should also have a soundtrack of the regular sounds in it because there are some excellent ones as well! Customer Rating: Summary: great evening Comment: When I want to curl up with a cup of hot chocolate or tea and a movie, this is the one. How can you not enjoy these wonderful characters. The lines are great and should be listened to carefully. Heartily recommended for a nice evening. Customer Rating: Summary: I love the music Comment: The Holiday Sound Track by Hans Zimmer is wonderful, soothing music. I love to put it in when driving home in traffic from work. The shipping was very fast and it was packed well. I would buy again from this company. Customer Rating: Summary: The Holiday Soundtrack Comment: The Holiday is one of my wife's favorite movies. She loved the music so much, she asked me to buy her the soundtrack. Beautifully composed music that makes one feel they are on a magical holiday in England or California. Customer Rating: Summary: The Holiday music track Comment: The music from The Holiday was better than I expected. It doesn't play all the songs from the movie such as Winter Wonderland or You Send Me.It has the music composed by Hans Zimmer. If you loved the movie, the minute this music starts you will be able to visualise each scene. It's great to listen to this album as background music when you need to relax. More Reviews
