Editorial Review: Album Description: Starring Paul Giamatti and Laura Linney, executive produced by Playtone's Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman, and directed by Emmy®-winner Tom Hooper, JOHN ADAMS is a seven-part epic miniseries event that explores American history through the eyes of one of the greatest of the founding fathers, John Adams (Giamatti), a fiercely independent spirit whose unwavering vision steered America through a tumultuous period. Based on David McCullough's Pulitzer Prize-winning biography, the miniseries is produced for HBO Films by Playtone. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Main title track flawedBe warned that the mixing for the title track on the CD isn't the same as what you here in the show. Rating:  - Music for John Adams - the Movie - Stands on It's Own and MoreThis sound track the work of composers Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli really evoke the emotions of the era and the people in their works. Their work complements the efforts of David McCullough through his book and the people in the production of the movie, the actors, the cinematographers and all the others including Tom Hanks and the others in making of this series for which the soundtrack was created.

This country needs a 21st Century John Adams or Thomas Jefferson to lead this country, this country has no leadership. Excellent movie, thank God for John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Have a box of kleenex ready for the last chapter. 5 star movie. Rating: - Inspiring, Pensive. Melancholy. Superb.The John Adams soundtrack is, in many ways as mercurial as the moods of the man portrayed in the HBO series. The tracks include inspirational, quick paced pieces leaving the listener determined. Many others offer a mix of variations on classical works (Schubert, Piano Trio in E-Flat), to slow-paced, quiet, meditative pieces for thoughtful contemplation or as background to a good book or a lazy afternoon. Lane and Vitarelli have put together an original score, and the Hollywood Studio Symphony's ...

It does indeed have a distinctly American feel to it, and some of the tracks have elements that will/could bring you to tears they're so moving (e.g., Declaration of Independence, Letter to Jefferson, etc.). I can recommend this without reservation. Browse for similar items by category:
