Editorial Review:

This is a production rife with odd pairings: English actor Daniel Day-Lewis joining up with the Mohawks; James Fenimore Cooper adapted by Michael Mann; disparate composers Trevor Jones and Randy Edelman teaming up. This last pairing seems a suspicious attempt to endow the score of this modern film adaptation of a junior high school literary evergreen with both a golden age of Hollywood dramatic bent (Jones) and a '90s-slick guitar-muzak veneer (Edelman). A strange amalgam that doesn't quite work. --Jerry McCulley
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Arrangement
I love the central theme of this soundtrack. Depending on the arrangement, it can be romantic, sad, patriotic, and thrilling. For anyone learning to score films, this one offers a great lesson on arrangements. Another good film scorer is Howard Shore. His themes for Lord of the Rings trilogy are also fantastically arranged for different moods.
Rating: - soundtrack
Excellent soundtrack, from a movie, one of the best i've heard. i'd recommend it, to anyone who likes music.

I bought this and the DVD. I recomend to listen it in your car stereo, get it loud... and experience a teletrasportantion to te set of the film...
you'll feel that sentation of freedom and war, love and angry the movie shows.
Rating:  - Excellent soundtrack
This is an excellent soundtrack and makes for great (and relaxing) listening in the car.
Rating: - Delightful and powerful
An interesting proposition this. Two different composers were at work here. Tracks one through to nine were composed by Trevor Jones. Tracks ten through to fifteen were by Randy Edelman. Quite why this arrangement was adopted I don't know but the feel of the album, which is so important with a soundtrack, is intact. Which speaks volumes for collaborative album construction.
The music here has to, and succeeds in, encompassing a number of moods. Much of the music needs to be stirring and there are no better examples around of stirring music than track three, The Kiss, or tracks five and six, Fort Battle and Promontory respectively. Other parts of the film score required a mood of tense expectation such as track ten, The courier. Still other parts needed to be gentler in their aspect and this achieved too. And therein lies the real beauty of this soundtrack. It can be listened to by people who have not seen the film and yet if you have seen it then your appreciation with be much increased.
Sound quality is good, the thing was done in 1992 so you aren't exactly looking at some creaky thing from the 1930's! And as it was recorded before audio compression became the norm the album does breathe somewhat and that's a welcome relief. There is a short track by Clannad, who seem to be on an inordinate number of soundtracks and it's a fitting piece of music. As for the booklet, it's functional but there are no liner notes nor insights of any significance on offer.
