Soundtrack Reviews
“Hunchback is a fully-formed musical, a soundtrack which works without the film. The narrative is strong and characterisation clear.”
- Jack Smith, BBC Review “If The Lion King is the roar of one timid little cub coming through an adult body, then Hunchback is the torment and compassion of a whole city echoing through the burning halls of a grand cathedral.” - Xenorazr, SputnikMusic “Its tone is light at first, but then descends to a haunting, thrilling chorus of Latin verses which grow to a majestic climax.” - Maskerade, Anime Instrumentality “The Hunchback Of Notre Dame also, I might add, boasts one of Alan Menken’s very best scores, a triumphant, dark, brooding piece of music.” - Simon Brew, Den of Geek “Menken admits that the subject and setting of the story hugely inspired both of them and the result is Disney’s richest, and most interesting and mature score – perhaps even their best.” - Editorial Staff, The Reviews Hub “...the dazzling technical achievements reassert the style set by Beauty and the Beast, The Lion King and Pocahontas, particularly with respect to depth of field.” - Jeremy Gerard, Variety |
