This is a lovely score by Cliff Eidelman, his first, full-scale movie soundtrack.
The heavenly choir and orchestra tracks are just beautiful, with a fantastic main theme as well.
There is also some big, blood and thunder war/action cues, based on a classical piece of music.
The intrada CD is nice, but the recording lacks oomph to me.
Maybe a remastering/expansion could be on the cards?!
I was surprised to find no thread on this score.
What do fellow posters think of this one?

I only have a single cue on an Eidelman promo compilation, but I think it's great. Why does he have to be stuck with straight-to-tv tearjerkers these days?
Only so much work to go around, and a certain production house of composers has a strong grip on on a lot it?

Magdalene is made up of pure choral brilliance with some very strong orchestral parts; wholly recommended as it's the whole body of work by Eidelman, a sadly underrated composer in the favor of younger hac.........no; wait. I am not going there.

I have not heard this score but I buy anything of Cliff Eidelman's that I can. His very beautiful and understated score for the film ONE TRUE THING is one of my favorites. I would be in line to buy an expanded/remastered MAGDALENE (or the original release for that matter) if it is ever made available.

Much early Cliff Eidelman begs for remastering and expansion, but Christopher Columbus most of all -- less than half of this epic and complex score is released, and that only in so-so sound quality.

LOL!
That actually reads like one of Mr Kimmel's 'we are so doing this release next' comments on his guessing threads.
Something you wanna tell us HW?
Unfortunately no teaser there - wish I could say there was - but most sincerely would be interested in purchasing an expanded release of one of Cliff Eidelman's scores - I appreciate this thread and learning about Eidelman's early releases.

With the remastered, slightly expanded re-issue of TOY SOLDIERS from Intrada having just dropped, I wonder if this wonderful score by Cliff Eidelman might be in their future pipeline for a sound restoration and maybe expansion too.
I don't know how much music was missing from their original release, but the sound sure could do with a nice clean-up and boost.
It's a shame that such fantastic music can't be heard in optimal sound.
Anyone else?
