Craig Armstrong - Ethereal 2:09 Piano Coda (Piano Soloist) Release Notes: Composer Craig Armstrong has done arrangements for a variety of pop acts while building a reputation for both his own stand-alone neoclassical pieces and scores for the stage and film. Calling on him for this tricky assignment was a good move: Armstrong is a subtle musician who prefers understatement to grand gestures, and he's set a tone that's opposite the usual Hollywood symphonic grandstanding (typically, a cue is titled "Ethereal"). Avoiding pulling at the listener's heartstrings in too obvious a manner, the string-heavy score is minimally somber, declining its theme mostly with cello and piano. (The downside is that it can be difficult to differentiate the tracks, which tend to meld into one another after a while.) You're not going to whistle along to this CD--but neither would you want to.
