Gabriel Yared OST The Talented Mr. Ripley Colored Vinyl Edition

The musical selections director Anthony Minghella chose for his
movie The Talented Mr. Ripley are mostly based on the character of
jazz enthusiast Dickie Greenleaf (played in the movie by Jude Law).
Jazz tracks from Miles Davis, Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillepsie
among others are alternated with excerpts from Gabriel Yared’s Oscar
nominated score. The vocal performances by actors like Matt Damon,
Jude Law and Gwyneth Paltrow can be found in the first tracks from the
album. An emotional song is “Lullaby for Cain”, written by Yared and
sung by Sinead O’Connor. It’s one of those fantastic additions which
makes this soundtrack outstanding. The darker melodies of the whole
sets the tone for the storyline, but there’s also the dreaminess in which
the landscape of Italy comes alive.
The Talented Mr. Ripley stars Matt Damon as the main character Tom
Ripley, who is sent by to Italy to bring his son Dickie (Jude Law) back
home, away from the temptations of high living, women and alcohol.
The movie has been nominated for 5 Oscars, including one for the
soundtrack by Gabriel Yared. The movie also stars Gwyneth Paltrow,
Cate Blanchett and Philip Seymour Hoffman.
