 Rating:  - Tams, doing his thing!Before watching Sharpe I had never heard of John Tams, and quite frankly my music collection was the poorer for it! This album is a fantastic mix of score from the shows and traditional folk songs of the period performed by Tams and his mate Barry Coope with an amazing guest performance from the wonderful Kate Rusby. A must have for all fans of John Tams, Kate Rusby, Sharpe and great British folk music! Nar x Rating: - Well worth listening toIt's perhaps not the best album you'll ever buy,but for Sharpe fans it's a must. The arrangements are a bit different from the TV series, but so what. John Tam's rendering of 'Over the Hills' and 'The Spanish bride' are brilliant. Equally so the tunes covered by Kate Rusby. I personally don't think the tunes by the military band add anything, but I still love the album. You can always use the skip button on your CD player! Rating: - Different in a good wayOk so as other people have said, it isnt necerssarily true to the TV series, over the hills and far away loses some of its charm, however I still find this an excellent album. The CD gives a good mix of folk and marching music, with some of the arrangements being very well produced. John Tams' music is excellent, and I found the Regimental/ Military music a nice change from the usual folk CD's. Collier Recriut sounds fantastic sung by Kate Rusby, likewise it was nice to hear the full version of Johhny's Gone for a Solider in its true form. If your excpecting the music as it was on the TV you'll be dissapointed, however if you're willing to listen to it end to end it provides an enjoyable hour or so of easy listening ...

I was undetered by the very adverse comments contained in some of the reviews, and generally speaking. I was glad I was. Thee really should be more of offering embracing as it does both military and social history. Apart from "SONGS AND MUSIC OF THE REDCOATS" -which appeared in vinyl and was inspired by the seminal book of the same name -it seems a most neglected genre . Certainly it might have been done better: omissions such as "THE OWL" and particularly, the "RIFLEMAN'S SONG" from the same era are quite surprising . On the other hand, while I notice that a reviwer complains of ... Read More: Rating: - The Peninsular War condensed into 52 and a half minutes of musical enjoyment.I've been re-watching Sharpe, and having long-admired the music of the series, decided it was about time I bought the soundtrack. I must admit that having read the mixed reviews, it was not without a sense of trepidation that I ordered the CD. I'm happy to report that it lived up to my expectations, and more. From the opening bars of "The Overture" to the closing track, "Sharpe's Song/ Sharpe's Theme", I was captivated and transported to that time and place many of us have grown to love: Spanish mountains, French skies, loyal partisans, valiant heroes and repugnant villains, Waterloo, Wellington and of course, the Ninety-Fifth Rifles. Let's clear a few things up. No, not every piece of music recorded for the Sharpe series ... Read More: |
