5 out of 5 stars Sumptuous and lovely.......2005-03-30

I have actually never seen the movie "Restoration," but stumbled across the soundtrack some years ago. I have since given it as a gift to every classical music nut I know.

The soundtrack to "Restoration" is an uncannily seamless blend of orchestral and chamber music (mostly Henry Purcell) with the modern-day scoring of the peerless James Newton Howard. Purcell's "King Arthur" and "The Fairy Queen" are used here, and Howard melds his work with Purcell's so beautifully that I think somewhere in heaven, Purcell must be smiling down at Howard.

It's an astonishing soundtrack, filled with gorgeous music that suggests floral tapestries, lutists wandering through a grassy field, richly appointed thrones, crowned heads, corseted ladies and bewigged gentlemen, but most of all, an urgency implied by love and ardor. It's just magnificent. One of these days, I've got to see the movie!

5 out of 5 stars A rich and sumptuous score.......2002-02-28

With Snow falling on Cedars, he entranced me. With Dinosaur, he amazed me. But despite these precedents, in his score for Restoration, James Newton Howard managed to astonish me again. He has created some incredible Baroque-esqe music, sounding somewhat akin to Trevor Jones' score for Gulliver's Travels. The powerful recurring theme, best heard in 'The Fire', must be one of the best themes of film music, and, though it pops up often, never becomes repetitive. James Newton Howard's original music puts the likes of Purcell, which it is buried amongst, to shame. The best track must be 'The Cabinet Of Curiosities'. A splendid score.

5 out of 5 stars Thundering and Beautiful!.......2000-07-12

I love this CD! The movie is great too. My favorite tracks are 27-"The Fire", 9-"The Wedding",and 2-"Main Titles". The whole score is great! I bought this without seeing the movie and the CD did well on its own. When I finally saw the movie a week later, the score was even better when it was in the film.

5 out of 5 stars Pulcrissima Audire.......1999-04-18

Well, I've found a yet another use for Latin. This music is without question Most Beautiful to Hear. I love the movie Restoration. It is so visually stunning I would watch it all the time if I could. The same came be said for the soundtrack. This is the first time I have ever been struck by the music while watching a movie. The music is full of emotion and spirit. If you've never heard it, I pity you, and if you don't like it, I'm concerned about you! Everyone get this CD,it is the best that will ever be (with the exception of The Four Seasons). Et quid agitis hodie?
