Domingo's voice on this is quite amazing, the darknesses and depth on the bottom with the baritone qualities, the soaring tenor notes on the top and the passion in his expression. Perfect choice for this song and it is why he is my favorite tenor. Because of the darker vocal qualities, few may realize this is a b flat on top with a series of As before the ending drops to a lower range.
As far as I'm aware, it's, "the undiscovered country, from whose bourne no traveller has yet returned", but if you've actually made that return journey, I think any observations or insights made while you were dead that you feel you'd like to share with the rest of the world would be fascinating.
Liked the split screen effect and love the song 'In Pace'; everytime I listen to the ST (at least once a week!) I must replay the 'In Pace' track a few times. This works so well with the single speech and the pan out on the left - good choice. As usually - very well done, TOF - classy!
along with "William Shakespeare's Hamlet" and "Much Ado About Nothing," this is another Shakespearean masterpiece from Kenneth Branagh. His collaborations with Patrick Doyle ((both on & off-Shakespeare adaptations) have been enormously succesful. This film is the first proof of that success. Also, Branagh's successful editing of Shakespeare's plays, combined with Doyle's score, excellent casting & gorgeous scenery, have combined to make his movies cinematic triumphs in every way.
Well done. Please, don't forget Derek Jacoby.

The gentleness of a dove and the impact of a sledge hammer all in one. This is music.

Patrick Doyle... my favourite film composer of all time - and this song is just one of the many reasons. <3

You're claiming to know what happens after death?
Would you care to illuminate the rest of us?

ABSOLUTELY BLOODY BRILLIANT. You can feel the power in the song thanks to Placido Domingo's excellent voice.
