A tuneful introduction to brass band music
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
Brassed off is a Great Film and its Original Score by Trevor Jones is great to listen to it also includes Grimethorp Colliery Band.
Having watched the film, we just HAD to have the soundtrack! This was exactly what we expected, and more - I defy anyone to listen to this and not thoroughly enjoy it: even those who think they aren't "into" this kind of music. Alternately rousing and soulful, there's something for every taste here. I have to agree with the comment on the inside cover of the CD though - for full effect, you need to blast the speakers off the wall! If the neighbours don't like it, you need new neighbours! Incidentally, we would recommend anyone who hasn't seen the film to buy a copy - you will not be disappointed, and you will find yourself watching it over and over again: fabulous stuff from a time sadly passing.
I have seen the film many times and love it. I especially love the music played and one day decided I would like to hear it again and again. I decided therefore, to have the original soundtrack. I am delighted with it.
Very good music to a very good film, classic in many ways, and very enjoyable to lovers of Brass Bands. It depicts the changing communities of England in the way they entertain themselves and bring joy to others. A true must for any music collection, the DVD & CD.
All that it should be. The film was superb, capturing the poignancy of the lives involved with the situation in that era. The CD allows you to capture, in your mind, the individual characters and situations as they appear in the film and to consider what it must have been like for the communities involved.
Simply a fantastic CD, i'm not what you'd call a lover of brass bands, but this CD is just wonderful and best played 'very loud' in the car!
Love the renditions of the "Orange Juice" and Danny Boy. Couln't find them on any other CD, and they are well worth it. Having said that I like all of the tracks. The film is brilliant, and this serves as a good reminder.
Its just one of the greats you must have. Its FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY TaSTICK
Who loves the wind orchestras, for them it is a real pearl! Fantastic group, excellent playing aknowledge. The CD is perfect, the quality is good, but the record is a little bit stilly.
