Far From The Madding Crowd - Craig Armstrong

4/20/15

Picture
Looks more like "In a Scary Forest Far From the Madding Crowd."
What You Will Hear:  Delicate strings.  Some hymns and period dance music.

Standout Tracks:
 Opening, The Great Misunderstanding, End Credits, Far From The Madding Crowd Love Theme


Will you be humming along?
 No.


The score this makes me want to dust off:
 The Legend of Bagger Vance - Rachel Portman


Will I come back to it?
 After the first track, I said to myself: "Self, you are going to love this entire score.  That opening was just fantastic!"  Unfortunately, what followed was a rather tame string orchestra experience.  The tracks that feature the solo violin are nice, but there isn't much depth when the full strings are put to work.


​P.S.
- I honestly feel I need to go back and give this one another listen.     If someone does this for me, please feel free to send a note and tell me why my first listen was misinformed.  @filmscorefans or filmscorefans@gmail.com
