Patrick Doyle's score to Alfonso Cuaron's contemporary update of Charles Dickens' Great Expectations is a provocative amalgam of styles that results in a continually intriguing record. Working with a variety of different musicians -- including guitarist John Williams, pianist Cyrus Chestnut, saxophonist James Carter, whistler Carey Wilson and vocalists Césaria Évora, Miriam Stockley, Kiri Te Kanawa and Tori Amos -- Doyle has created a rich tapestry of sounds that draws from classical music, traditional film scores, opera, flamenco, Latin music, pop, new age and jazz, among many others. While some segments don't work as well as others, the album is an adventurous, unpredictable score that's welcome in an era of overblown, schmaltzy and underwritten soundtracks. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

| | Alex Petrounov Something Incredible CD (2005)
Great Expectations (Score) Soundtrack songs
$11.39 "Something Incredible" is the third album by Bulgarian born, Nashville based, Alex Petrounov, a prolific singer/songwriter and guitar player. Petrounov produced, sang and played acoustic and electric guitar, bass, drums and keyboards on seven of the album's 13 tracks. The remainder, produced by Know Your Hat Productions (former Wilco drummer Ken Coomer and Charlie Brocco), feature Petrounov's band. "These guys are off the chain," says Petrounov.The 13 tracks on "Something Incredible" display Petrounov's warm, vulnerable tenor, lush melodies and achingly romantic lyrics. Even when he's dealing with the difficulties of love, Petrounov remains sunny and optimistic. Standout tracks include the title track "Something Incredible," a song that you cannot get out of your head, "Five Thousand Miles," a straight-up, mid-tempo rocker drenched in swirling layers of acoustic and electric guitars, "Falter and Fade" a gentle love song with a subtle funky backbeat and "Monotony," an impressive showcase of Petrounov's percussive acoustic guitar style. The album also includes "Nothing's Left" and "Tonight," live tracks that give you a glimpse of the energy Petrounov can generate with nothing more than his guitar and voice. Alex Petrounov was born in Bulgaria and moved to Fort Lauderdale, FL with his family when he was ten. His father, Alexander Petrounov started The Silver Bracelets, Bulgaria's first rock band. "My dad took me with him on tour," the younger Petrounov ...
