HERCULES
Fernando Velazquez, 2014, Sony Classical
25 tracks, 65:14
What is it? Brett Ratner (of “Rush Hour”, “Red Dragon” and “X-Men: The Last Stand”) directs this historic epic, starring Dwayne Johnson as the titular character. Reception of the film was mixed, leaning towards negative. Ratner has a history of working with great composer (Lalo Shifrin, Danny Elfman and John Powell, respectively where those aforementioned titles are concerned) and for “Hercules” he turned to Spanish musical heartthrob Fernando Velazquez.
