Sung like angels, the voices on this song are just incredible. I first heard this song on the movie Shawshank Redemption and was blown away. I jut knew I needed to add it to my collection. Definitely a good choice. Directed by Frank Darabont. With Tim Robbins, Morgan Freeman, Bob Gunton, William Sadler. Two imprisoned men bond over a number of years, finding solace and eventual redemption through acts of common decency. 'The Shawshank Redemption' was a brilliant, brilliant film; this soundtrack proves that the score was a vital piece of that brilliance. It is also fine music on it's own. I am at a loss of words, trying to explain what it is about the film and the music that moves people, myself included, so deeply. In the film 'The Shawshank Redemption' the hero Andy Dufresne plays an operatic aria - Mozart, I think - over the prison public address system. And gets himself thrown in solitary for it.
