Zhong Kui: Epic 3D Fantasy Film Feat. Javier Navarrete Score Now On Netflix!

It sounds like Navarette has really outdone himself this time, which is saying a lot because he’s authored some masterful scores throughout his career. He composed the music for The Devil’s Backbone (2001) and Pan’s Labyrinth (2006), which was my number one favorite score of that year.” –Birth.Movies.Death

For those of you craving an epic 3D fantasy feature, we recommend this year’s Zhong Kui: Snow Girl And The Dark Crystal, featuring an amazing score by Academy Award® and GRAMMY® nominee Javier Navarrete and brought to you by Academy Award® winner Peter Pau (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Zhao Tianyu. Zhong Kui is an Australian-US-China production which made its theatrical debut earlier this year stateside: stream it now on Netflix!

Lakeshore Records Releases Javier Navarrete’s Score To 3D Fantasy ‘Zhong Kui’ — Academy Award Winner Peter Pau and Zhao Tianyu’s Epic Australia-US-China Co-Production

 

I love ‘To Use Your Power’ which uses thematic material mixed in with horns of war and massive choirs. Now for some zen time finally. ‘Little Snow’ and ‘Snow Girl’ is just like flying really. Lovely airy music and particularly that flute in ‘Snow Girl’ while the “sound effects” twinkling in the underscore makes for a great listening experience. Can’t mention ‘Snow Girl’ without mentioning ‘Snow Girl Dance’ which is a lovely vocal cue with what sounds like a more Middle Eastern type of music. It’s beautiful. –Soundtrack Geek
