Two years later... and I still adore this score. Maybe one of my all-time favorites.
Whoever has not heard this amazing work, do yourself a favor and check this out!

Oh yes!
Along with The Invisible, I am Dina, and now large parts of 1864 and The Giver, Soul Surfer is the most sweepingly gorgeous and staggeringly beautiful composition ever to come from Beltrami's brilliant mind. Even compared to those others I mentioned, it has something that none of his other scores ever had...a sense of purity, triumph, courage. The themes and melodies in this score are just perfect, magical film score wonder, the reason I love movie music.

I've been listening to this today and it was driving me crazy trying to figure out what the main theme resembled. It finally hit me: Zimmer's PEARL HARBOR. That's not a comparison or a judgment or a "Hey, gotcha Marco!" or a qualitative analysis or a match on the gasoline or a snarky finger point. Just an observation.
I cannot detect any resemblance at all. Really, none whatsoever.
It´s like looking at the Mona Lisa and saying: Hey, I did see another pointing that portrayed a woman before.

Why do I return year for year to this score?
Because it remains magnificent.

It really, really does.
Try returning day after day, or month after month? Although, then it might just remain "great." Maybe stick with returning year after year, and it will remain "magnificent." Your call, of course.

I´m actually listening to it very often ;-)
But strangely I do post on a yearly basis.
Just to remind all the others who do not know this masterpiece.

It seems you stopped posting about this in 2015... and somehow I completely missed the boat on this score until a few days ago. I know I'm 11 years late to the party, but wow, I had no idea Beltrami did work like this. Amazing!

Actually, I did listen to HELL BOY years ago and I'm afraid it didn't make much of an impression on me. Never heard KNOWING. But, believe me, I am going back and exploring his catalogue and finding a number of gems.

I ordered this CD twice from Amazon. Both times I got the song album.
Bummer!!

SOUL SURFER is one of Marco Beltrami's best scores.
I tend to find Beltrami very hit and miss (mostly miss, more often than not).
I really like (or love) his scores to T3, FLIGHT OF THE PHOENIX, 3 BURIALS, DON'T BE AFRAID OF THE DARK*, TROUBLE WITH THE CURVE, WARM BODIES, THE HOMESMAN, THE GIVER, 1864, GODS OF EGYPT, LOVE & MONSTERS (and the two DIE HARD scores have some decent moments too, but they ain't Kamen), but most of the rest go in one ear and out the other.
There's something in those above scores that clicks with me, but his others (and trust me, I've listened) leave no lasting effect whatsoever, aside from an odd moment or two.
*And where's the official CD of that blummin thing?
