| | High Road To China Soundtrack CD - Import (4 Customer Reviews)
Reissue of John Barry's soundtrack to director Brian G. Hutton's 1983 action/ adventure film starring Tom Selleck, Bess Armstrong and Wilford Brimley. 12 tracks, all composed & conducted by John '007' Barry. 1990 release.
The original soundtrack to HIGH ROAD TO CHINA features 12 tracks composed for the 1983 film.
Composer: John Barry.
High Road to China is representative of the lushly dramatic work that defines John Barry's output from the early '80s -- one might even say it's typical to a fault. The sweeping emotional drama that galvanizes scores like Out of Africa and Frances returns here, but it seems as if Barry is simply going through the motions, creating a series of slow, densely textured themes that don't quite fit with the film's Raiders of the Lost Ark-inspired mish-mash of adventure, comedy, and romance. Soundtrack Collector's 1998 reissue expands the original release via ten unreleased source cues that offer the variety that the finished score does not -- period themes like the Middle Eastern-inspired "Waziri," the Dixieland-influenced "Swinging at the Riverside," and the lovely harpsichord piece "Allemande from the Bach French Suite #5 in G Major" flesh out the kind of rounded, multi-dimensional work one hopes to hear from a composer of such consummate skill. ~ Jason Ankeny

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No Another Barry classic
The movie may not have been memorable, but John Barry's score was. Much like his main themes for "Somewhere in Time" and "Out of Africa", this music is so melodic and beautiful you can't help but be moved by it.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No  "High Road to China" is Quintessential Barry
I fell in love with John Barry's film scores when I saw "Out of Africa" quite a few years ago, and I have sought out his soundtracks ever since. This one does not disappoint! It is Barry at his best -- lush, romantic, and wonderfully listenable.

 John Barry's best music ever!
John Barry is Brahms, Wagner and Tchaikovsky rolled into one. His orchestration and melodies are second to none, and this film score of High Road To China proves it. If only the entire world could hear it! For it is a symphony of epic proportions and as beautiful as any classic piece put to pen!
