Description
Amazon.com
This disc combines two of Carter Burwell's best soundtrack efforts for the Coen brothers, Fargo and Barton Fink. It's a study of contrasts: Fargo is filled with somber string arrangements and a full orchestra playing in minor keys. Barton Fink, meanwhile, sounds more adventurous with offbeat instrumentation (a very gamelan-sounding keyboard prevails) and a simple score that Burwell recycles into different arrangements. Fargo, especially, sounds dark and reserved--"The Ozone" and "Chewing on It" are both underlined by melancholy--while Barton Fink is just as lyrical but more mysterious. Many of these tracks are short--the two soundtracks together add up to less than 45 minutes of music--but all are poignant, and some of Burwell's best. --Jason Verlinde
Product Description
The dynamic directing duo consisting of brothers Ethan and Joel Coen has produced yet another great film (Fargo) backed by an equally impressive score. This release combines the music from Fargo with that of the Coen brothers' critically acclaimed film Barton Fink. The scores to both films (as well as all of the Coens' films) were composed by Carter Burwell, whose credits include Rob Roy and Kalifornia.

Favorite Soundtrack
Reviewed in the United States on December 30, 2024I bought this for Fargo soundtrack--not Barton Fink. Eerie soundtrack that is a fabulous match for the movie.

Love it.
Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2016I love this soundtrack. If you have watched the movie then you know. I didn't care for most of the movie (ok the violence, but the acting was spot on and they indeed caught the flavor of the communities and people), I lived close to Fargo and I relive good memories not based on the movie. The music is powerful.

Worth a listen
Reviewed in the United States on May 15, 2009I really only wanted this combined collection for the Fargo soundtrack (I am sure fans will recall the music accompanying the shots of the cars moving across the icy highway) - the music is largely incidental music, with the main theme repeated several times but redolent of the pathos of the films. "Yah?" - "Yah".

Slim Pickins'
Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2008To be perfectly clear on this point, the music is superb; evocative of the desolate and haunting Winter wastes of the Northern Midwest and the despair that accompanies the somber crimes depicted the Coen's film. (I can still hear Frances McDormand's sparse soliloquy to the unresponsive Peter Stormare about what a tragic waste the killings were; the main theme playing in the background.)
My objection is that, I was expecting a smorgasbord and ended up with some skimpy appetizers. Many of the cuts (at least six) are under a minute long -- barely more than a musical "sting" -- and those that are longer are either a minute or two. Additionally, a number of these are derivatives of the original melodies.
So, load up before you come to this party; the pickins are pretty slim.
..oh, yeah, Barton Fink's tacked on too.

UFU5 out of 5 starsVerified PurchaseCortitas pero intensas, Carter Burwell,un prodigio!
Reviewed in Spain on March 26, 2025Excelente las bso ente Cartel Burwell y los Coen. Un placer escuchar la de Fargo, también es excelente la de Barton Fink, kafkiana y Lynchiana! Ojalá saquen más dobletes como este. Duración de media hira la de Dargo y 15 mins la de Barton Fink. Haber para cuando un triplete con el tema de 7 minutos impactante de No Country for Old nen que solo es un tema que lo podrían haberlo metido aquí, pero siendo del 96 complicado. Ojalá haya más recopilaciones como esta.
