SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 4:07 Min.
Composer-conductor Michael Kamen devised this instrumental theme for a 1997 Emma Thompson film, The Winter Guest, that Alan Rickman directed. The following year, the Seattle Symphony Orchestra covered the track for the 1998 Michael Kamen’s Opus retrospective album.
REVIEW:
Even if “Stromness” is indistinctive, it sure has a classy sound. This mildly melancholic theme could apply to most any type of dramatic film, i.e. a medieval adventure. At a minimum, it’s worth adding to instrumental and/or classical playlists.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
Note: “Stromness” doesn’t actually appear on Kamen’s The Winter Guest soundtrack.
