Soundtrack
"Doctor Zhivago"
"I had six weeks to write and record the score for Doctor Zhivago,
so I was forced to compose many minutes of music each day. Any composer knows
that inspiration does not always come when you need it, and you get panicky.
But now working with David Lean. There are rarely problems with inspiration
when you are working for a great director."
Maurice Jarre,
liner notes from Doctor Zhivago (30th Anniversary), 1995
This is once again in the category of "I've never seen the movie, but
love the music." Especially one song in particular -- "Somewhere My
Love (Lara's Theme)." As a young keyboardist, I played this song many
atimes, (and still today), in a slow style. "Somewhere My Love" is
one of my favorite songs in this fashion, and looking up this song in one
my encyclopedias of music (Top 40 Hits (3rd Edition), by Joel Whitburn,
Billboard Publications, Inc., New York, 1987) -- This song was popular by
Ray Conniff. (I'm not familiar with his version, so I'm not sure if it was
slow styled or not; I'll have to look this up on Amazon.com for a sound byte.
Besides, Ray Conniff has been on my "wishlist" of artists to include for
WSVNRadio.) This slow style is probably best heard on this reissue on
"Lara Says Goodbye To Yuri," although through other tracks on this
reissue, "Somewhere My Love" is used either slow-style, medium-paced,
or faster than usual.
As for the movie/soundtrack -- it was originally released in 1965, and was
#1 on the album charts for only one week. In 1995, Turner Entertainment Company
reissued the soundtrack, on it's 30th anniversary. Filled with outtakes
and songs not released on the original soundtrack (45 tracks in all), the
reissue definitely defines a true sound of energetic music pieces, full
orchestration, and many tracks can be compared to Classical music, in its full
glory. The storyline tells the life of a Russian doctor/poet (Omar Sharif) who,
although married, falls for a political activist's wife (Julie Christie) and
experiences hardships during the Bolshevik Revolution. ( For more info:
