Filmworks XIX: The Rain Horse features a score for film by John Zorn. The album was released on Zorn's own label, Tzadik Records, in 2008 and contains music that Zorn wrote and recorded for the animated short film The Rain Horse (2008), directed by Russian animator Dmitry Geller.[1][2]
Reception
The Allmusic review by Thom Jurek awarded the album 4½ stars, stating: "One could cite every track here as extraordinary in some way, but taken as a whole, this soundtrack throws down the gauntlet to almost anyone composing film music – especially for a chamber ensemble – today. Morricone is still the king, but one can envision him applauding the elegance, taste, and slow-burning fire in this score".[3]
