Release Notes
-------------
Just as director Steven Soderbergh paid tribute to the
atmospheric black and white thrillers of the postwar period with
this movie, composer Thomas Newman came up with a score that
strives to evoke the majesty of works by the likes of Mikl≤s
R≤zsa, Max Steiner and, of course, his own father, Alfred
Newman. For once the enormous ensemble credited as the Hollywood
Studio Symphony does not feel wasted: most of the brooding
ambiance is created by thick, dark clouds of strings, and
tension often rises from the strings' juxtaposition with brass.
Newman also makes good use of oft-neglected instrumental voices:
Check out the harp on "Muller's Billet," "Trip Ticket" and
"Golem," for instance; it really makes you wonder why that
instrument isn't used more. In terms of mood-setting, the music
is perfect: listening to cues such as "Kurfustendamm" will
instantly transport you back to a rainy street in 1945--or
rather, a Hollywood backlot made to look like a rainy street in
1945. Sure, this is a deliberately retro soundtrack, but it's
done with elegance and deep understanding of a certain classic
scoring style.
