专辑介绍：

这是《加勒比海盗》交响乐版，浓缩了三部原声的精华，由James Fitzpatrick指挥，布拉格爱乐团管弦乐团和唱诗班重新演绎，精彩绝伦，不容错过。

熟悉欧美原声音乐的朋友，一定都知道原声大厂Silva Screen Records，这家英国的独立唱片公司在电影电视原声届享有盛名，从事各种影视原声的创作发行工作。公司旗下有多个著名的原声品牌，而且开始向多元化的音乐产品发展，拥有多个知名艺人。

Silva Screen Records在电影原声发行中最大的一个特点就是“重录制(Re-recording)”。公司在取得配乐原版权所有者或者作曲家的许可后，对配乐进行“再创作”。他们视电影配乐为独立的乐章，而不仅仅是电影的从属，发掘配乐的最大魅力。公司有自己的交响乐团（长期固定聘请）-----布拉格爱乐交响乐团/合唱团(The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Choir)，专门用于电影配乐的重新演奏、录制。由于Silva Screen Records这份用心良苦以及对高品质音乐的执著，一直在业界享有美誉，其发行的原声产品也广受好评。

这次的《加勒比海盗》交响乐，精心挑选了系列三部曲原声中最精彩的曲目重新演绎，由James Fitzpatrick指挥，布拉格爱乐交响乐团/合唱团演奏。由于Hans Zimmer和他的团队的卓越表现，《加勒比海盗》三部曲布拉格爱乐交响乐团/合唱团演奏，也因为如此，这张《加勒比海盗》交响乐颇受瞩目。虽然布拉格爱乐交响乐团/合唱团的规模比不上为原电影配乐演奏的好莱坞交响乐团(The Hollywood Studio Symphony)，实际上他们的重录制是相当冒险的，但是他们认真而又极富热情的演奏让我留下了深刻的印象，让我不由得为他们的这份努力和执著鼓掌。



This was quick. Even before the DVD to At World's End is out, this compilation of the Pirates of the Caribbean series has been released by Silva Records featuring their usual partners in crime, the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra & Choir. Since Hans Zimmer wrote the themes for all three movies, it makes sense that a focused album of suites would be an interesting listen.

The music of the series has been called everything along the lines of "McMusic" to "the best thing Hans Zimmer has done in years." Interestingly, both are right. Don't forget, the series started as an ill-fated theme park spin off. Who gives Johnny Depp an action franchise to star in, seriously?! I do find the main Pirates theme enjoyably rousing but it is very plastic and disposable. Once the movie became a phenomena did the series garnered serious musical attention and with Dead Man's Chest and At World's End, we got an assortment of really interesting themes (the revisedJack Sparrow cello theme, the melancholy Will/Elizabeth love theme, the rousing Pirates Brethren theme). In the final film, Zimmer finally showed off what he and his crew can do and uses a full orchestra. All past joking aside, it is a powerhouse of a score.

This gives The Prague Philharmonic a lot to chew on and while they are using a much smaller orchestra than The Hollywood Studio Symphony, they capture a lot of magic with impassioned performances. There's less of the uniform evenness from the Zimmer-produced recordings as the individual Prague musicians here have more European character and nuance. This is particularly in the Black Pearl highlights as the original film music used plenty of synth accompaniment. While they can't recreate the large chorus of the film, it is nice to be able to hear them clearly here ("What Shall We Die For") and when they can't recreate the amp sound of the "Kraken", their solution is creative.

There are some heavy drawbacks. Some of my favorite tracks from At World's End ("Up Is Down", "I Don't Think Now is The Best Time") are ambitiously staged but they are undone by poor mixing. With fewer instruments, they have to be extra careful how to record the separate sections. The percussion section is horribly recorded and mixed too loud (it ruins the last sections of "The Kraken" and "Jack Sparrow") while their very strong brass and string sections are way too low. This key mistake betrays the very thing they were trying to avoid: sounding small. Likewise, the accordion in "Drink Up Me Hearties" sounds stiff.

Overall, it is an enjoyable release. The selections are all well chosen and represent the series appropriately. Compilation albums of modern series are rare and when orchestras like this take big risks, I happy applaud their efforts.
