I managed to grab a spare hour tonight (why is Xmas time Hectic City?) and relaxed to CD 1 of this score. WOW!! (or should that be Oy Vey?...I have no idea what that means, but I see it a lot 'round here).
I thought the hyperbole about this one would be the usual label overkill ravings.
I have the other Jewish scores by Holdridge, and generally love the main themes, but fade on the tension and traditional pieces.
This one sounds different somehow. Fuller, more expansive. And much more like Holdridge of old.
The opening cue, for some reason, kept reminding me of Michael Kamen, and Highlander in particular.
The Song For Peace is incredible (and that after just one listen). I will be playing that cue a lot over the next few weeks.
Also, the song at the end of CD1 has that fantastic Holdridge string arrangement sound, that I just love and can never get enough of.
My appetite for CD2 is well and truly whetted.
This CD is better than Dreidel, Dreidel, Dreidel, you make it out of clay...

This is the best score in recent memory to receive only a limited release. It has largely gone under the radar critically, but is nonetheless Holdridge's finest effort, and musically one of the best listens, even at almost 2 hours long, to come through the film music world in a long time. Commands the need for multiple runs to appreciate the scope and beauty of all Holdridge has woven for this project. Truly a modern classic.

That's a steal for two discs of one of the finest -- in my personal opinion -- scores ever written for television. You could easily hear such a wonderful score for a film.
