A forgotten gem - Dina

i better leave the reviews for the experts. an excerpt from the score review

" More and more people begin to see Marco Beltrami only as a horror composer and sadly that isn't true. Recently Angel Eyes or a rejected score for Texas Rangers could have changed that fact, but sadly they aren't released so why would people think differently. One that has been released by Decca is sadly not mentioned and that is I Am Dina, showing of that Marco Beltrami's gift lies more towards the classical line of composing. Its a very dark drama that captures both the more gritty attitude at times but also the classical surroundings of the era as the drama that beholds her life. Nonetheless, Marco Beltrami adds a special touch to the score that barely non other score possesses of him, namely a classical edge. Its all orchestral but with the fact that not many grand orchestral moments are heard. Its simply more the instruments that play a part in the score and likely so, they are noticed rather quickly."
"Jorane is credited on the soundtrack and her inclusion is brilliant to say the least. See her as Lisa Gerrard and Yo-Yo Ma together. First, she's underscores Beltrami's piece entitled 'Dina's Lullaby' with a mesmerizing mix of cello and vocals."

well, thats Dina for you!!

This was a beautiful score. I can understand now why he was Jerry Goldsmith's favorite recent composer.
