Summary: Sebastian, this is your music 2006-11-27
Comment: When I saw Brideshead Revisited for the first time, I was immediately captivated by this music. These themes are rich of sentimental emotions, and absolutely suitable for this tv. series. I can not imagine B.R. without them. They were born for it.

Summary: Burgon's idiosyncratic brilliance is brilliant 2004-11-16
Comment: For me, the stand-out tracks are JULIA'S THEME and SEBASTIAN AGAINST THE WORLD. In BRIDESHEAD THEME, it's a borderline-thrill to hear that bassoon putt-putting all over the place in the background. The second part of GOING TO BRIDESHEAD has that brilliant suspended-string shtick. VENICE NOCTURNE has a slow hypnotic quality that reminded me of John Barry. The end of THE FIRST VISIT is also Barryesque. In JULIA, the harmonic tension between the woodwinds and the strings is admirably modernistic.
My favorite passage is near the end of SEBASTIAN'S SUMMER. An oboe passage, backed with a brilliant ascending violin figure, and with the violas doing a slow trill.

Summary: Brideshead reviewed 2003-09-07
Comment: When I bought this CD, it was the Brideshead theme I was after. It's there, but be warned that it's only 2:00 minutes long.
Nearly all the tracks are fairly short with an average track time of 2:31. Each track is a piece of music intended for a certain situation or part of the story. Which doesn't really give you the time to sit back and soak up the moods in the same way as with non-soundtrack classical music. About half of the tracks contain the Brideshead theme in more or less obvious forms. I think you would have to remember extremely well to recollect most of the tracks apart from the Brideshead theme. I still recommend the CD and consider it worth it's money. A must have for anyone who loved the series. If only for the Brideshead theme which still nearly knocks me over.

Summary: Finally 2002-05-07
Comment: I have cruised the INTERNET for years looking for a CD such as this (I have the LP but it is worn out from being played so much) . What a wonderful surprise. The music makes tears come to my eyes.
