SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 6:04 Min.
Composer-conductor Michael Kamen devised this instrumental theme for an obscure 1988 British film adaptation of Robinson Crusoe starring Aidan Quinn. The movie is entitled Crusoe. Ten years later, the Seattle Symphony Orchestra covered this track for the 1998 Michael Kamen’s Opus retrospective album. Caroline Dale provides the cello solo.
REVIEW:
This melancholic track makes it easy to visualize Aidan Quinn’s Crusoe facing the harsh reality of forced solitude. Michael Kamen and cellist Caroline Dale are masterful in bringing this desolate theme to life. “Marooned” is well worth adding to instrumental and/or classical playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
