Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
A stellar cast of Chow Yun Fatt and Michelle
Yeow for the movie and an equally stellar production crew
for the soundtrack as well.Coco Lee
provides the vocals for the only song in the album
Titled "A Love Before Time",
the strong vocals of Coco
brings out the heart and soul of the song.
But the main feature of the soundtrack is the cello.
The long haunting tunes of the instrument performed
by Yo-Yo Ma, with
the accompaniment of the Shanghai
Symphony Orchestra and the Shanghai
National Orchestra sets the tone of the movie.
Named "Artist of the Year" at the 1997 Gramophone Awards,
Yo-Yo Ma does not
disappoint.From the title track to "Farewel", each cello performance aptly
conveys the yearning, loss, sorrow or suspense.
Music composed and conducted by Tan
Dun, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is definitely a
soundtrack not to be missed!
