It should be little surprise that of the three Prince of Egypt CDs, this one, which contains music actually used in the picture, is the best. The disc features songs written by Academy Award winners Stephen Schwartz and Hans Zimmer. It also showcases the always impressive vocal talents of Ofra Haza on several tracks. The disc also crams in a few singles--ranging from the solid Boyz II Men track "I Will Get There" to the average "The Prince of Egypt (When You Believe)" by Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey to the dismal "Through Heaven's Eyes," by K-Ci & JoJo. But ultimately, Haza steals the show on tracks like "Cry" and the gorgeous "Deliver Us," performed with Eden Riegel. Other standouts include "Playing with the Big Boys," by Steve Martin and Martin Short, and a pleasant, if not unexpected, vocal by Michelle Pfeiffer on "When You Believe." --Aaron Tassano

 Nice March 18, 2008
This was a very beautiful soundtrack. I'm a huge fan of Hans Zimmer so I absolutely loved the score to most of the songs. I could have done just fine without tracks 16 and 18, not the best songs in the soundtrack in my most humble opinion. Otherwise it's really wonderful to listen to.
Egypt rules January 15, 2008
I loved this movie, I love the story of Moses and Ramses! The music is slamming on all accounts, cultural and R&B.
Prince Of Eqypt is King of Soundtracks December 9, 2007
This is my second time purchasing this CD after my 1st was stolen. It is a must have for my CD/Soundtracks collection. The sound dynamics and emotion put into the music and lyrics still give me goosebumps when I listen to it. I'm very glad to have this CD back in my collection.
Superb October 9, 2007
Absolutely wonderful. One of my favorite movies, too! Great music. I love listing to the songs exactly as they were in the movie instead of having to buy contemporary singers' versions on itunes. Great cultural experience, too. I'm learning Hebrew, so I love the Hebrew parts of the songs (even thought there's only about 2).
Beautiful August 20, 2007
This is a beautiful soundtrack of a beautiful animated movie.
It opens with the rich melodic voice of Mariah Carey and the symphonic vocals of Whitney Houston singing When You Believe.
But even better is the version of When You Believe sung by Michelle Pfeiffer and Sally Dworsky (Track 14). Most beautiful was the lovely voices of the blessed Israeli children who sung an exquisite melody in Hebrew during the middle of Track 14.
When you Believe is a beautiful inspring hope-filled song.
Following on is Deliver Us, with it's operatic overtures and the voice of the exquisite nightingale of Israel, Ofra Haza (MHDSRIP). It also includes talented young actress Eden Riegel singing the song of hope blessing her baby brother
Ofra Haza's beautiful voice also shines through in Goodbye Brother.
I liked the uplifting Middle Eastern style Through Heaven's Eyes by Brian Stokes Mitchell, less so the contemporized R& B version sung by K-Ci and Jojo.
There is the operatic dialogue of The Plagues sung by Ralph Fiennes and Amick Bryam, which is quite memorable.
This is beautiful music and even if you don't like soundtracks this album is quite incredible.
