Most modern Hollywood films have musical "temp tracks" laid in as they're edited, usually classical standards or music from other soundtracks that helps shape the dramatic and emotional intentions of works in progress. Sometimes these temp tracks become the score (as in "2001"), but more often they serve as a template for the film's eventual scorer. That said, we'll boldly climb out on a limb and opine that director Ridley Scott was listening to a whole lot of Holst's The Planets as he was cobbling together his modern gladiator epic. Credit Hans Zimmer for taking "Mars, the Bringer of War" and hammering its familiar harmonic and rhythmic Sturm und Drang into something serviceably fresh; cohort Lisa Gerrard generally handles the more ethereal, atmospheric passages. As epic in scope as its thematic inspiration (and with enough occasional nods to "authenticity" to make it work), this is nonetheless a work of often surprising nuances, and one that recasts the traditional heroic orchestral score in deliciously dark and ominous tones. Warning: repeated listening may inspire the invasion of neighboring countries. --Jerry McCulley

Great motion picture soundtrack with great music from the movie Gladiator. Thank you for my order.
Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2023
Loved the movie, loved the iconic music from Lisa Gerrard and hans Zimmer. To be honest I'm surprised I didn't already own it.

I am also surprised how intense the music is without the movie.

The cd arrived unbroken and works well. I am considering buying a second one for a friend.
Reviewed in the United States on March 21, 2003
This is a soundtrack that has impressed me greatly and which I would listen to several times a day while I worked. The themes were not necessarily unique - I can hear Sigfried's Funeral March from Wagner, Holtz's Mars from the Planets, lovely Celtic music, Spanish guitar work, and much more. Each fits perfectly into its location. The Roman empire was huge, encompassing a quarter of the known population of the entire Earth. The music moves from location to location - from the military machine that was the Roman Army in the depths of Germania, across to the middle east, and back into Rome itself.
You take that journey through the music - the strength and honor of the Roman soldiers, the code of the gladiators, the love, the deception. There are common themes running through the music, and yet each piece represents and entirely different slice of the world that was the Roman Empire. There are other similar soundtracks that I've loved - those to Excalibur and Conan the Barbarian come to mind - but in those cases they often just lifted classical works known for their power. In this case Zimmer created entirely new works which pay homage to those classics but bring them to a new level, tailoring them to fit within the pathway of the movie.
There's even a second CD you can get if you want more of the music, but this one is a definite must-have. You don't get familiar with the tunes as you replay them. Instead, you find even more nuance, even more meaning in the songs you thought at first were 'less good'. I consider this a masterpiece up with my favorite classical music CDs.

Great Background music
Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2000
This is an epic score that perfectly fit the movie. In fact, I think it adds immensely to the movie, especially in the sweeping battle sequence and in establishing mood in later scenes. The score balances extremely powerful orchestral pieces by Zimmer with Lisa Gerrard's quieter and deeply affecting passages. With respect to orchestral film music, Zimmer reminds me of John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, and James Horner at their best.
I suggest that one should not be bothered by Zimmer's borrowing from Holst and Wagner -- Williams is notoriously guilty of it as well, although in a sneakier way (he hides his thematic borrowing while Zimmer makes no attempt to cover his tracks.) I have come to view this technique in film music more as an homage to great classical music from the past. In fact many great composers from the past borrowed thematic elements from each other.
In the end one should judge a musical score not as an original music composition, rather for its ability to establish the mood and enhance the dramatic tension of what is happening on screen. In this regard, this music is supremely successful. Trust me that this movie would be much weaker without this musical score. This is one of the finer musical scores to come along in years.

With the exception of the various Star Wars soundtracks this is the best out of any movie. It won the 2000 Academy Award for best original score. An award (for once) which was throughly deserved. It captures the essence of the movie and especially the character, Maximus. It enhances your perceptions of Maximus. His sense of honour, courage and selflessness. This soundtrack can be appreciated whether you like the movie or not. My favourite is Now We are Free but they are all brilliant. You'll play the music over and over again. There's nothing more to say really. All classical music fans should own this.
