Review
The Prince of Egypt tells the story of two men -- one born a prince, the
other a slave ... but only one was chosen to lead. A lie made them brothers,
and the truth will destroy a kingdom and separate them forever. Starring
the voices of Val Kilmer and Ralph Fiennes as the central characters Moses
and Rameses, the film also brings to the screen the vocal talents of Sandra
Bullock, Danny Glover, Jeff Goldblum, Steve Martin, Hellen Mirren, Michelle
Pfeiffer, Martin Short and Patrick Stewart. Including six new songs written
by Academy Award winner Stephen Schwartz, The Prince of Egypt features
an epic original score by Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer. In
addition to creating the "movie event of the season," DreamWorks' record
label, DreamWorks Records, has released three companion soundtrack albums
for the film. "The Prince of Egypt - Inspirational" album features Gospel
and R&B tunes from the likes of CeCe Winans, Jars of Clay and Boys
II Men; "The Prince of Egypt - Nashville" album features music by Faith
Hill, Alison Krauss, Vince Gill and others; and "The Prince of Egypt Original
Motion Picture Soundtrack" includes the new collaboration between Whitney
Houston and Mariah Carey, music by Amy Grant and other popular artists,
and original score and songs by Hans Zimmer and Stephen Schwartz, respectively.
"The Prince of Egypt Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" is reviewed here
at MovieTunes, with streaming audio samples of Hans Zimmer's original score,
including a selection from "Chariot Race," an unreleased score track.
