Jonny Greenwood: There Will Be Blood
Copy at Case Memorial Library
Personnel: Martin Burgess, violin; Caroline Dale, cello; Michael Dussek, piano; Emperor Quartet; BBC Concert Orchestra; Robert Ziegler, conductor.
Josh Tyrangiel wrote in Time: "The THERE WILL BE BLOOD sound track is sweet like barbed wire.* (Technically it's a score, though as composed by Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, it feels more like a bunch of individual avant-garde tracks than your typical James Horner schmaltzfest.) But with its charged strings and melodies emerging out of chaos, it too becomes entwined with the film's disposition. [The album is] a reminder that listening to the movies can be just as thrilling as seeing them" ("60-Second Synopsis: Movie Music to My Ears," 1/21/08).
*Coincidentally, according to a very interesting book I am reading right now, Genius by Harold Bloom, A. Bartlett Giamatti used to say in conversation that Ralph Waldo Emerson was "as sweet as barbed wire," and it seems Giamatti also wrote this opinion down in his book The University and the Public Interest (1981).
