French composer Maurice Jarre wrote and conducted the beautiful and sensual music for this movie. His other hit music scores includes music from the “The Longest Day”, “The Train”, “The Collector” as well as David Lean’s “Lawrence Of Arabia”, which won Jarre an Academy Award. The music from Dr Zhivago is inspired from Jarre’s childhood, capturing Russian folk tunes, marches, ballads and dance tunes.
It took Maurice ten days to record the music, using a full orchestra of 110 pieces, 24 balalaika musicians and a section of Japanese instruments which included a shamisen, koto and a US$3000 gong. For portions of the scores, 40 people lent their voices to the instrumentals.
The result: music that evokes power and beauty that is Doctor Zhivago.

I downloaded the RAR file twice but I was unable to extract (ie unzip) it. It appears the file is corrupt.

ReplyDeleteI would give Dr. Zhivago five stars. Maurice Jarre's Zhivago and Lawrence Of Arabia are tow of my favourite soundtracks.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting Steve and your feedback. I would have given DZ 5 stars but I felt a bit ripped off cos Jarre used Lara's theme a few times and called it something different! Yes it does deserve the 5 star rating. Watch this space, I'll be posting Awrence soon.
ReplyDeleteYou will find that the main theme is used in different variations in many scores. Some composers use it creatively, others use it as a long run.
ReplyDeleteNice on the Lawrence. I have that as well. If you want the recent complete release, let me know.
LOL...so glad you got my Awerance reference.
ReplyDeleteDo you really have the latest release? Yes please and thank you for offering.
