 The Future is Enigmatic July 19, 2002
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This is the best CD to date of the music and sounds of this fantastic yet most realistic film of man's future destiny in space and beyond. I was glad that much of the orignal music from the original album was on this CD. They did a good job with this one.
The Best Source Music Soundtrack Ever? January 22, 2002
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I think so - the only serious competitors for the title that I can think of are the soundtracks for Tarantino's Pulp Fiction and Scorsese's Mean Streets.Stanley Kubrick was widely acknowledged as a master of selecting just the right music for his films, a gift that is nowhere better demonstrated than it is here. Can you really picture anything other than "Also Sprach Zarathustra" accompanying 2001's title sequence? Anything other than "The Blue Danube" running behind the film's first spaceflight scene? The reals gems here, however, are the stunning pieces by Gyorgy Ligeti. His "Requiem..." is probably the most disturbing piece of music I've ever heard; his "Adventures" (best heard in its unaltered version, which is thankfully included) among the most suspensefully comic. Highly recommended to anyone with a passion for great music.

One of the greatest things about Stanley Kubrick's magisterial 1968 sci-fi epic 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY is the cagey way he puts certain classical pieces to work in the service of the film. The soundtrack to this groundbreaking movie must almost certainly rank as the best use of classical music ever put to film, aside from Disney's original FANTASIA.Thanks to Kubrick, no one can forget the imposing "Sunrise" of Richard Strauss' "Also Sprach Zarathustra" (as done by Herbert Von Karajan and the Vienna Philharmonic). Nor can anyone forget the scene of the wheel-shaped spaceport rotating to the strains of Johann Strauss' celebrated "The Blue Danube", or the Stargare sequence, which utilizes three works by Gyorgy Ligeti--"Requiem", "Atmospheres", and "Adventures." Although one can rightly complain about "The Blue Danube" being split into two sections on the CD, like the movie itself, the 2001: A SPACE ODYSSEY soundtrack is essential listening for classical music buffs and movie music buffs alike. It comes vigorously recommended.
