 Inspiring, Pensive. Melancholy. Superb. July 30, 2008
David M. Garrett (San Antonio, Texas USA)
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 execution does it considerable justice. While not getting what I expected, I was nevertheless enthralled and pleased with the surprises. You will be too.
Some of the Tracks Will Make You Weep July 19, 2008
Jarvis Tarth (Powell, OH United States)
I can't add much beyond what's already been added by the earlier reviewers. The series is excellent and the soundtrack is superb. 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.
Outstanding Mini-Series July 17, 2008
J. Dalpe (Anaheim, CA USA)
"John Adams" is an outstanding series. The acting is superb and the dialogue equally compelling. Every person who lives in the United States ought to watch this. It is reminder of what being an American truly meant. The series is stimulating, entertaining and inspiring. I rented the series first and I felt compelled to purchase it. Produced by Tom Hanks,"John Adams" is an extraordinary production!

FANTASTIC MUSIC! June 22, 2008
Steven Hancock (Winston Salem, NC United States)

The soundtrack to the HBO Miniseries "John Adams" is a fantastic one! Rob Lane and Joseph Vitarelli have both created a beautiful score, capturing the heart and soul of the miniseries. Lane's work includes the title theme, which is a fantastic piece that opens the miniseries, and is a great one to listen to on its own. His piece "Declaration of Independence" is fantastic as well. As for Vitarelli, his piece for the sea battle is great, hearkening to the music from "Master and Commander." Together, they have created a truly memorable score. If you enjoyed the HBO program, then you'll want this CD in your collection!
