This soundtrack is a masterpiece because it does contain many types of tracks, excellent orchestrations and outstanding sound quality.In order to illustrate the mood/feeling of Charlie Chaplin' s silent films, John Barry use some re - recorded music from some of these above mentioned films.There are relaxing and slightly nostalgic music to reflect to the well-balanced personality of Charlie Chaplin.
There are some sad and elegiac tracks to illustrate the darker moments of
Chaplin' s life.There are also tracks which are joyful,full of soaring energy and vivid rytmhs in order to illustrate the energetic personality of Chaplin, and the large amount of happiness and joy he could gave to anyone through smiling, and trough his happy/cheerful temper.Highly recommended.
