2Cellos are made up of the Croatian cellists, Luka Sulic and Stjepan Hauser. This classical crossover dynamic duo and international sensation has taken instrumental music by storm since their distinctive video version of Michael Jackson’s “Smooth Criminal” rocked YouTube with millions of hits in 2011. They have already created three very popular high-energy albums for Sony Music Masterworks: a self-titled debut album, IN2ITION, and Celloverse.
In their forth album, Score, these two instrumentalists take a different path exploring the more traditional side of classical music. Joining them for this album is the London Symphony Orchestra, with conductor/arranger Robin Smith at the helm. This was a dream come true for the 2Cellos to perform with. In Score, 2Cellos take us to the movies with theatrical scores such as the May It Be from the Lord of the Rings and the Schindler's List Main Theme. Sulic and Hauser also co-produced Score with Nick Patrick which has produced for such greats as Jackie Evancho, Il Divo, and Placido Domingo.
My Thoughts:
I love 2Cellos. They are fantastic and exceptionally talented. Their music is always epic and grand. I have loved their previous tracks so much because they are unique, energized, fun, and demand an audience. These tracks are what makes 2Cellos stand out in the classical world.
Score is a fabulous album. It is full of gorgeous music and I believe that 2Cellos and the London Symphony Orchestra performed them beautifully together. I am in love with the musical scores of great movies and TV, but find myself wanting more from 2Cellos Score. 2Cellos insanely intense sound and impressive high-stamina do not radiate throughout this album. However; even though this strays from 2Cellos normal, I still love Score. This album would be great played at a dinner party or Soiree.

I feel like a big loser saying this, but the only ones I can even bring to mind are the themes from Chariots of Fire and Moon River. I know I've heard the others -- I've seen almost all of the movies -- but I get so caught up in the action that I don't really attend to the music. The only reason I know the two I do is that you hear them played on the radio, etc. So I'd definitely be interested to listen to the CD and hear what I missed!
I appreciate that Amazon usually has a sample of the songs on a CD, which I still buy these days, lol, and from listening to all the samples on this CD, I like Cinema Paradiso the best. I'm a huge classical music fan but also listen to Christian and country music, so I would love this CD.
I am not familiar with all these songs, but "May It Be" really speaks to me.
Thunderstruck
For the Love of a Princess
Moon River. I'm such a sucker for anything Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Great song list! I played the cellophane for 7 years.
With or Without You!
I like all of them but probably, if I have to choose one, "My Heart Will Go On"
