Review by Rovi Staff
Tenor
saxophonist Sonny Rollins loaned his flair for the dramatic to the
score for the film Alfie, accompanying the story of what the liner notes
describe as "the involuntary education of a hipster." Arranged by
Oliver Nelson, the soundtrack follows the character's evolution from the
carefree, rakish Lothario of "Alfie's Theme" to the contemplative,
somewhat broken man reflected in "Alfie's Theme Differently." Rollins
attempts to capture the textures of life through his incisive and
energetic playing, his coherent improvisations, and variations on
musical themes. While "Alfie's Theme" and its variants make the most
lasting impression, "He's Younger Than You Are" is touching, laced with
regret. And the sensual, relaxed "On Impulse" has a nice sense of
immediacy.

Reseña de la plantilla de Rovi
El
saxofonista tenor Sonny Rollins prestó su talento dramático a la
partitura de la película Alfie, acompañando la historia de lo que las
notas de presentación describen como "la educación involuntaria de un
hipster". Arreglada por Oliver Nelson, la banda sonora sigue la
evolución del personaje desde el despreocupado y desenfadado Lothario de
"Alfie's Theme" hasta el hombre contemplativo y algo roto que se
refleja en "Alfie's Theme Differently". Rollins intenta capturar las
texturas de la vida a través de su incisiva y enérgica forma de tocar,
sus coherentes improvisaciones y sus variaciones sobre temas musicales.
Mientras que "Alfie's Theme" y sus variantes causan la impresión más
duradera, "He's Younger Than You Are" es conmovedora y está llena de
arrepentimiento. Y la sensual y relajada "On Impulse" tiene una
agradable sensación de inmediatez.
