Glide: Jonny Greenwood's "There Will Be Blood" Score "Beautiful, Enthralling"
1, Jan 07, 2008
To say that Glide magazine's Martin Malloy wonders rhetorically how a collaboration on There Will Be Blood among three "masters of their domain"—Paul Thomas Anderson, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Jonny Greenwood—could possibly disappoint. "Well it can't!" he answers. "And it didn't." For the reviewer, "the most gratifying experience of the whole film was Jonny Greenwood's emergence as an incredible film composer ... Greenwood’s score gets under your skin and doesn’t leave for over two hours, yet it’s somehow still beautiful and enthralling."

SF Chronicle: "There Will Be Blood" CD Shows "Dark Brilliance" of Greenwood Score
1, Jan 07, 2008
The San Francisco Chronicle gives "Wild Applause" to Jonny Greenwood's score for There Will Be Blood, with writer David Wiegand saying the album fully stands up on its own, apart from the film for which it was written. "A richly haunting series of symphonic and chamber poems that show their influences (Britten, Stravinsky) and cut their own paths as well," Wiegand says of Greenwood's score. Exquisite performances by the BBC Concert Orchestra, Empire Quartet, Dale and pianist Michael Dussek," writes Wiegand, "showcase the dark brilliance of Greenwood's music."
