Hamlet - Self Titled
- Carter Burwell's score album to the 2000 version of
Hamlet is a subdued modern score and definately worth
listening to. The music consists of dark colors with
an unusual small chamber ensemble providing the
perfect underscore for this modern retelling of
Shakespeare. This music could even underscore a stage
production as Burwell uses a lot of nice low
instrumental sounds and long string lines. Some
electronics are at a whisper under the dirge-like
bassoon accompanied by light touches from the piano
(Too Too Solid Flesh). Burwell also uses some nice
guitar solos in the score (Darkroom). A solid album
all around with a nice mellow sound.
