"Most movie soundtracks are only good for background music or a compilation of the latest pop artists. Fortunately for us, Ennio Morricone's soundtrack to Vatel is neither. Themed to the era of Louis the 14th, this beautiful album is fantastic to have playing for just about any occasion, especially when you're in dire need of relaxation. Lots of violins and cellos are used on the album, as well as what sound like period harpsichords. Definately not what your children will be requesting for Christmas, but perhaps what you may want to have playing on Christmas Eve while everyone sits in front of the fireplace. Beautiful, elegant, and brilliant, this is a CD that anyone interested in classical music should own."
